Nagoya: The hidden gem
Japanese Language School: Studying in Nagoya : After Tokyo and its neighbour Osaka, Nagoya is considered to be the third largest city in Japan. It can be considered as quite a busy city due to how it’s all connected to other cities in Japan by expressway, bullet trains, and even an international airport smack in the middle. Since it’s also relatively close to Osaka and Kyoto, one can imagine how beautiful and scenic Nagoya is. It is quite popular for tourists as well and is relatively cheaper compared to the city. Some popular tourist attractions are Nagoya Castle, the Railway Museum, Nagashima resort, Korankei, and it’s port. There’s too many to mention!
Aichi Prefecture is quite famous in Japan for industrialization and manufacturing, opening up many employment opportunities for both locals and foreigners alike. This attracts not just the occasional tourists, but foreigners who are interested in residing long-term in Japan. For people who would like to study Japanese and find employment after, Nagoya may just be the perfect place for you!
