LIFE IN SENDAI and TIS

Sendai is a lovely city with lots of green. It is a medium size city in the northern part of Japan called “Tohoku”. It is not too big, not too small. A calming place where you can experience the beauty of nature and the convenience of a big city. The cost of living is lower than in a big city like Tokyo. People are very friendly and kind. Our campus is in a beautiful suburb in the northern part of Sendai city, surrounded by nature. Our community is diverse and very close. We have experienced foreign staff support to help you with daily issues in Japan.
Our school is small but has a big heart like one big family!
