Lin Nina (from Thailand)

At first, everything in Gakugeikan was challenging. I had to adjust to a completely new culture, environment, and language. However, my Japanese improved drastically, thanks to the teachers and staff. I joined club activities where I made lasting friendships and unforgettable memories. Most importantly, with the academic and mental support from the teachers at Gakugeikan, I was able to get into my dream school. Now, I am studying in a liberal arts program, eager to integrate what I learned in high school into my future studies.

About Okayama

Okayama city is generally a safe place to live, work and visit. The Prefecture is known for its sunny climate and rarely suffers from natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons or heavy snow. Furthermore, the cost of living and crime rates are considerably lower than in bigger urban areas such as Tokyo and Osaka.
