Cours de japonais à Osaka : là où street food, néons et apprentissage des langues se rencontrent
Osaka est une ville fascinante qui ne laisse personne indifférent. Les rues autour de Dotonbori bourdonnent d'activité bien après minuit. Le marché de Kuromon Ichiba propose les fruits de mer les plus frais de l'ouest du Japon depuis 1902, et les gratte-ciel offrent un spectacle magnifique la nuit. Il n’existe nulle part ailleurs au Japon… ni peut-être même dans le monde, un endroit pareil !

Living and learning in Osaka
Mornings smell like konbini coffee on the rush-hour Metro; evenings taste like kushikatsu (breaded and deep-fried skewers of meat, seafood, or vegetables) in a Shinsekai restaurant that hasn't changed its menu since 1970, and every day gives you a new experience to enjoy. You don’t have to try to immerse yourself in Japanese anymore; the city will do it for you!
How transport works while studying abroad in Osaka
Osaka's Metro is one of the cleanest and most reliable urban rail systems in the world, connecting student-popular areas like Namba, Shinsaibashi, and Umeda in under fifteen minutes. A single ride costs around €1.10–€2.20, and a monthly commuter pass brings the daily cost down considerably.
Accommodation in Osaka
When you’re studying abroad, your accommodation is your safe space where you retire after a long day of exploring and learning, so we know it’s important that it’s as comfortable as possible! We offer studio apartments for independence and privacy, shared apartments for socialising, and host families for language and cultural immersion!
Attractions in Osaka
Osaka Castle and Nishinomaru Garden stand on 600 years of castle history and give you one of the city's best free afternoons. In spring, the cherry blossom here is arguably the finest in western Japan. Dotonbori by night puts you in the middle of Osaka at its most alive: neon signs reflected over the canal, vendors pulling fresh takoyaki from the heat, and a crowd that does not thin before midnight.

If you plan to study for longer than three months, you will likely need a student visa issued by a Japanese embassy in your home country before you travel. ESL's advisors have guided thousands of students through Japan's visa process over more than 30 years. We’ll tell you exactly which documents you need, in what order, and flag anything that might complicate your application before it becomes a problem.
