Living Support / Scholarships

Other: School Life Support

Our school offers a variety of benefits to fully support students experiencing their first study abroad and life in Japan.

Commuter Pass

Tokyo has an extensive train network, and students generally commute by train or bus. While riding trains or buses requires paying fares, our school is eligible for student discounts, allowing students to purchase commuter passes at a discounted rate. These commuter passes are significantly cheaper than regular fares. Although it may not be a major consideration when choosing a Japanese language school, the ability to purchase commuter passes can make a significant difference in living expenses between schools that offer this benefit and those that do not.

National Health Insurance

Japan has a National Health Insurance system. Foreigners staying in Japan for more than three months are required by law to enroll in National Health Insurance. While this is an obligation, it also offers the benefit of reducing the out-of-pocket medical expense to 30% (e.g., for medical expenses of ¥10,000, the out-of-pocket cost is ¥3,000). Enrolling in National Health Insurance allows you to enjoy your study abroad experience with peace of mind.

National Pension

Individuals aged 20 or older residing in Japan are legally required to enroll in the National Pension System. International students are also covered, but they may be eligible for premium exemptions or the Student Payment Special Measures System.

Health Checkup

The school conducts annual health checkups for all enrolled students at the school's expense. These checkups are held within the Japanese language school building, allowing students to attend before or after classes.

Student Accident and Liability Insurance

All students at this school are covered by insurance paid for by the school, which provides compensation in the event of injury sustained during educational activities, or if they cause injury to another person or damage another person's property while under the school's supervision, resulting in legal liability for damages.

Disaster Prevention Measures

As part of our curriculum, students participate in disaster prevention experiences at facilities like the Disaster Prevention Center. The center features sections for experiencing earthquakes and firefighting. It is crucial to become familiar with these situations through hands-on experiences, seeing and touching actual equipment, and practicing regularly.

Campus Members

Our university is a member of the Campus Members programs for the National Museum of Art (Kanto Block), the Tokyo National Museum, and the National Theatre. We have also established a university partnership with the National Museum of Nature and Science. By presenting your student ID, you can enjoy benefits such as free admission to permanent exhibitions and discounted admission to special exhibitions. Since you can visit as many times as you like, we encourage you to take advantage of this program.

TIU Ikebukuro Campus Cafeteria Privileges

Adjacent to Sunshine City in Ikebukuro stands the Ikebukuro Campus of Tokyo International University, the parent institution of our school, accommodating 4,000 students. This campus features the "GOOD HEALTH CAFETERIA" and "INTERNATIONAL CAFETERIA," dining halls open to the public and accessible to non-students.
Our students can use these facilities at student prices, just like Tokyo International University students. Please feel free to visit when you're in Ikebukuro.
