We don’t just teach Japanese.
We are a school where you can achieve your dreams through Japanese.

Osaka Bunka Kokusai Gakkō (OBKG) opened in 1985.
We take pride in our long history and extensive experience in Japanese language education.

The school is just one stop from Osaka Station, right in the heart of the city.
It is located in an excellent environment, only a 5-minute walk from JR Temma Station and the Osaka Metro Ogimachi Station.

We are also just a 5-minute walk from Tenmangu Shrine, where the Tenjin Festival—one of Japan’s three major festivals—is held, and only 2 minutes on foot from a 2-kilometer shopping arcade.
You can fully enjoy the variety and charm of Japan, with popular sightseeing spots close by.

The faculty and staff at Osaka Bunka International School have deep understanding of the various challenges international students face, as well as the knowledge and experience needed to support them.
We hope you enjoy a safe and comfortable study-abroad life in Japan.
