1983日本語の学校

A family school for over 40 years

Mr Kenji Kitahara graduated from Kita Kyushu University, learned Mandarin at Nanyang University, and started teaching Japanese in Hougang in 1983.

Today the school is run by his son, Yutaro Kitahara, who also teaches at NUS. The idea hasn't changed: good Japanese lessons at a price that's easy on your wallet.
