OUR FEATURE
School Features
Introducing the features of learning at Shurin and the support we provide for student life.
01
Shurin was established in 1988. We have nurtured international students from East Asia, and last year marked our 36th anniversary.
Kanai Gakuen Educational Corporation established Shurin College of Foreign Languages in 1988 near Kameido Station on the JR Sobu Line, in an area of Tokyo full of traditional downtown charm. In 2001, we also opened Shurin Japanese Language School, the current DLS, near Ryogoku Station. Aiming for the development of East Asia, we continue to support the cultivation of outstanding human resources.
02
Learning Environment
From the time of enrollment, we conduct level tests four times a year, taking care to confirm each student’s actual ability and help them realize their future academic goals.
03
We provide administrative procedures and daily life support through native-language staff.
We understand that unfamiliar study-abroad life can come with many anxieties, but staff who are proficient in Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Myanmar languages also provide consultation on daily life matters. In addition to difficult administrative procedures, they also offer advice on matters such as visiting government offices and opening bank accounts.
04
With dedicated staff, there is no need to worry about your path after graduation.
Because dedicated staff members are always on site, students can consult with them at any time about everything from their regular studies to future career paths, so there is no need to worry.
05
Two student dormitory buildings
There are student dormitories very close to the school. They are extremely helpful for those who are living in Japan for the first time and do not know anyone here. Since managers are stationed there, students can feel even more secure.
06
Self-study room and library use enrich both daily study and advancement to higher education
The self-study room is available from 9:00 to 17:00. In the library, we lend out not only support books for everyday Japanese study, but also Japanese sightseeing guides and information magazines for further education.
07
Location
Shurin Japanese Language School is a 7-minute walk from Ryogoku Station. It is also close to Ryogoku Kokugikan, and both JR lines and Toei subway lines are available. Shurin College Digital & Language is a 7-minute walk from Kameido Station. Students can experience history through places such as Kameido Tenjin Shrine and Katori Shrine. Akihabara, the sacred place of anime, is also nearby, and the location provides easy access to both Haneda Airport and Narita Airport.
08
Certificate issuance rate for Immigration Bureau applications: 97% (2025)
For many years, we have worked on accepting international students and supporting their future paths, while continuing to create an environment where they can study with peace of mind. After graduation, students go on to a wide range of career paths in East Asia and beyond, including companies and government institutions both in Japan and overseas, as well as the aviation, tourism, media, IT, and trade sectors.
