- Educational Policy
Bringing out the full potential of students and creating a better future together. - Message
Since our founding in 1985, many international students have taken flight from here. Hearing that our graduates return home and establish Japanese language schools or companies, achieving success, brings me the greatest joy.
To make studying in Japan a valuable investment for young students, all of our faculty and staff are fully committed to supporting you.
Meet friends from around the world and build friendships that will last a lifetime.

- Message
Japan is a country known worldwide for its culture and technology. Anime? Manga? Robots? ICT? Nano or bio-technology? … What do you want to study, and what kind of work do you want to do?
As a teacher at OBKG (Osaka Bunka Kokusai Gakkō), I will do my utmost to help you achieve your various dreams and turn them into reality. I can do this because I have four years of experience teaching in Indonesia and 14 years at OBKG, helping many students advance to universities, graduate schools, and technical colleges.
Now, let’s create your future together in Japan—and at OBKG. I’m confident that you will feel glad you came to Japan.
