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 28 Sep 2026. Each school's page gives the date every figure was checked. How this directory works
