ISI Japanese Language School Nagano Campus

Overview

ISI’s Nagano campus provides a regional-city setting for studying Japanese. It suits students who want to build Japanese into a daily routine outside Tokyo. The campus has its own tuition schedule and the housing choices depend on Nagano availability. The campus is in Ueda, Nagano Prefecture, at 3-5-18 Chuo, about twelve minutes on foot from JR Ueda Station. It opened in 1992 and is part of Nagano Business and Language College. The school describes interaction with vocational students at events and activities, useful for learners considering further study or employment in Japan. The campus guide explains how the Japanese department serves learners with academic and employment goals, including those considering vocational college or university. The Ueda location offers access to the rail network while allowing students to follow a daily routine in a smaller city. Check the timetable for the Ueda building and the journey from the residence assigned to you. ISI describes a campus near everyday shops and access to the Hokuriku Shinkansen, a useful combination for students who want a smaller home base with intercity rail links.

Courses

ISI offers both short-term and long-term Japanese study. Short-term study can begin from two weeks on eligible schedules. The school’s four-week example is for its short-term route. Check the campus start dates, timetable and placement conditions, especially if you have never studied Japanese before. The campus lists class windows of 8:50 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:10 p.m. and regular intakes in April and October. The four-week short-term route has separate booking conditions. Ask which start dates and class windows are available to short-term applicants at your placement level.

Fees

The FY2027 short-term manual lists JPY 140,350 for four weeks at Nagano. The school’s promotional page lists JPY 123,800 for the same campus and duration. Ask ISI which price applies to your intake before paying. The manual total covers admission, tuition, materials and facility management. The separately published first-year long-term total is JPY 905,000. Accommodation and airport transport are separate. The Nagano tariff lists JPY 121,200 for four weeks in a dormitory single and JPY 76,000 in a double. With the manual’s short-course figure, the indicative subtotals are JPY 261,550 and JPY 216,350.

The school’s general fee calculator allows the course, dates and accommodation to be selected separately. Ask for the applicable tax treatment and the final total on the invoice. The school publishes the homestay charge separately from the dormitory tariffs.

Accommodation

Use the Nagano section of ISI’s accommodation tariff and request the room type and address for your intake. The school publishes its housing arrangements separately by location. Ask about furnishings, meals, commuting time and the exact arrival and departure dates. The dormitory tariff distinguishes short stays from long-term room agreements. Triple and four-person rooms appear in the long-term column, while single and double rooms have short-stay prices. Under ISI’s housing guidance dormitories are generally self-catering and a homestay includes breakfast and dinner. Ask which building is offered, how the kitchen is shared and whether the booking dates match the course and your arrival in Ueda.
