More common, in fact, because most streets don't even have names, much less signs. Even most locals have little idea where anything is in Tokyo. For all its charm and sprawling yet serpentine complexity, Tokyo is deceptively livable. The people are polite to a fault, and are accustomed to helping out foreigners.

Our school is located in a safe residential area in Shibuya and is only a ten-minute walk form the train station. It provides comfortable classrooms in 3 modern buildings with ample opportunities to meet and mix students from more than 50 countries. Our school attracts about 500 students a year and was established in 1948. At any one time, there are typically 200-300 students enrolled, giving new students plenty of scope to find a class that suits their level. Supervised by a teacher on duty, students can utilize the PCs in the new specially equipped classroom to extend their Japanese learning by making use of a range of educational software tools designed by the school.
