Overview

Lexis Japan offers Intensive Japanese in Kobe, with separate accommodation options including a host family, student house and private apartment. The full-time schedule suits learners who want daily language classes and time outside school to use Japanese in Kobe. A homestay offers another setting for conversation, while self-contained housing provides more independence. The campus is in central Kobe near Motomachi, with bus stops and shops close by. The location makes it practical to use Japanese in everyday situations between classes and to compare housing options along different rail routes. Lexis designs its intensive programme around communication, using authentic material alongside its course books. It also provides online extension resources for students who want to continue practice independently. This combination can suit a learner who wants structured daytime study in the city and opportunities to apply the language afterwards. Check the journey from the property named on the housing offer before choosing where to stay.
