Introduction of Narashino Gaigo Gakuin
Narashino Gaigo Gakuin (Narashino Institute of Foreign Languages / NIFL) is located in the educational
district, 40 minutes by train to both Tokyo and Narita International Airport. There are Nihon University, Toho
University, high school, junior high school, elementary school, kindergarten in the neighborhood. It is a very goodenvironment for studying because it is a quiet residential area with lots of greenery. Also, as the area where
many students live, prices are cheap.
Since opening in April 2004, students from China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal,Bangladesh, Brazil, America, Czech, Peru, Russia studied Japanese at NIFL. All graduates of NIFL go on tograduate school, national university, private university and vocational school.

□ You can study in Japan safe, secure and inexpensive.（Medical expenses are free.）
When a student enters Japan, a staff member of NIFL welcomes you to the airport for free. Even after that, staff in charge ofliving support will support international student life 24 hours.
For one year from the time of admission, the student enters the student dormitory (two people in one room) within walking
distance from NIFL. There are facilities such as bedding, refrigerator, washing machine, bathroom, cooking area etc in thedormitory, so you can live immediately after coming to Japan, so do not worry. (Please pay the dorm's electricity, gas and water
charges separately.)
Medical expenses for diseases and injuries while studying at NIFL are fully compensated by "National Health Insurance"and "Japanese School Student Disaster Compensation System", and there is no burden on students.
Part-time jobs (food factories and restaurants, etc.) are permitted up to 28 hours a week, and monthly salary of about 90,000
yen can be obtained. However, if Japanese language skills are insufficient, you will not be able to work part-time immediately
after admission. Students must give priority to studying Japanese for one to three months after entrance, so bring thenecessary money (about 300,000 yen) for the life in that period.
