EDUCATION<br />
HANASAKU LANGUAGE<br />
SCHOOL<br />
Ikebukuro<br />
Although established just recently, Hanasaku has<br />
already become very popular thanks to its unique<br />
lessons and enthusiastic, energetic instructors.<br />
Rather than the usual textbook lessons, at<br />
Hanasaku you’ll find classes like Learning Japanese<br />
for Reading Manga, Dating & Relationships<br />
(an important one since Japanese don’t like to<br />
communicate directly), Katakana Master for those<br />
struggling with kana, and Learning Kanji. The first<br />
lesson is always free, and trial lessons are available<br />
every day. Conveniently located near Ikebukuro<br />
Station.<br />

become members<br />
