Lesson Information

New Year's has always been a very special time of the year for the Japanese. They believe that the gods visit each family during this time bringing good fortune. There are a variety of traditions and customs that are followed in order to receive this good fortune. Our New Year's Course is more than just Japanese lessons. This special program gives participants the chance to enjoy Japanese New Year's culture and activities.

Two weeks: The last week of the year and the first week of the following year.
Japanese lessons can also begin and end at any time - study for as long as you like!

Summer Course
サマーコース

During the summer season from June through August, we offer a special Summer Course package in both a 2-week and 4-week program. Both of these programs include two group events or activities per week in addition to five, three-hour Intensive Group Japanese classes. 

WAHAHA organizes many events at school and at other places around Fukuoka. These experienced-based classes have been a huge hit for all those students who take part in them, they are definitely recommended! These events are open for other students to take part in, as well, but will require an extra fee. 

For those students who want to take advantage of our Summer Course, though, we also offer a 15% discount on both course and cultural experience classes as well as a further 50% discount on accommodation placement fees should you reserve an apartment through Wahaha. 

This special offer, in bother  is only available during the summer period, so don't miss out!
