Tokyo Cool Japan Academy is a two-year vocational school for games, anime, voice acting, and e-sports. It celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2023. It is the oldest school in Japan, especially in anime education, and has produced many famous graduates.
Tokyo Cool Japan Academy attracts students from all over the world who want to learn about Japanese culture through games and anime. We focus on supporting international students from before they enroll so that they can live their school life with peace of mind and improve their skills. For example, we respond to the wishes of international students who want to "talk about games and anime," "make international student friends," "learn about school classes," "learn about employment," or "listen to what seniors have to say," and we make sure they are motivated to do so.
From before enrollment to graduation and employment, Tokyo Cool Japan Academy 's comprehensive support will help you realize your dreams!

Established in 1967, Tokyo Business Academy is a business school with a long history. In addition, there are only 39 schools in Japan, and it is a school that accepts "government scholarship students" selected by the Japanese government and has the trust of the government.
For more than 40 years since 1976, when the number of international students was still small, some graduates claim that their mothers and sons both graduated from Tokyo Business Academy. Up until now, many international students have taken the same classes as Japanese students for two years, have been active in Japanese companies, and continue to study at universities and graduate schools. Some graduates are working at the Japanese Embassy in their home country.
International students who want to succeed and grow in Japan, let's make your dreams come true at Tokyo Business Academy!

Entertainment will be created in the various departments and courses that our school handles, and the connections between each position. In addition, the diversity of students aiming for each position will grow the entertainment to a higher quality.
