Yamasa Institute

The Institute began language instruction in 1989,[1] and was founded through the Hattori Foundation,[2] a philanthropic educational organization established in 1919.

The school originally occupied one floor of the “Yamasa II” office block, but has grown to incorporate most of the building.

The school accommodates approximately 150 students during peak time in the Northern Hemisphere summer holidays.

Since its inception, Yamasa has provided Japanese language tuition to students from over 80 countries.

[1] The school also provides housing to almost all students, and runs an extensive Homestay programme with families in the Okazaki and Mikawa regions.
