Extended free services

This is a very important part of the services that the Kanazawa school provides because students often find it difficult to gather or understand information given in Japanese.

The school provides English-translated information details, suggestions and support concerning a variety of events taking place in the area, places of interests, travelling to neighbouring towns or to other parts of Japan, or particular activities that students want to do during the course.  The school also helps book train/bus tickets and accommodations if students want to travel during the course.
