JIVX School Directory

Japanese language schools by price per class hour

132 schools ranked by price per class hour, from ¥750 to ¥1,438. 786 more haven't published it.

How it's ranked

The headline course's total tuition ÷ its class hours. Lowest first.

The headline course is the 2-year course, or the longest course when a school has no 2-year course. Its tuition counts tuition-bearing items including the entrance fee, tax included, and leaves out the screening fee and housing.

  • Ties are broken by the directory's record order.
  • A value a school sent without a document is shown on its page, labelled as the school's own, but isn't ranked.
  • Schools that are no longer listed aren't ranked.

Source: MEXT's course records for certified schools, and each school's own fee pages otherwise. Facts last changed 1 Nov 2026. Each school's page gives the date every figure was checked. How this directory works
