MAKOTO is a language school that keeps class sizes small so that every student can receive individual attention and support.
In addition to weekly quizzes, teachers regularly review previously learned lessons during class. This encourages students to study consistently and helps reinforce what they have learned.
The school also frequently shares interesting knowledge about Japan and organizes engaging activities to keep students motivated and interested in learning Japanese.
At the end of each course, students take an exam and receive feedback, allowing them to understand whether they have truly mastered the level they studied. We also have frequent presentations, which have helped me become more confident and less afraid of speaking Japanese.
Most importantly, the teachers genuinely care about their students like family. They don't simply finish teaching and leave students on their own. Their kindness and warmth have touched my heart more times than I can count.
I'm deeply grateful that I could talk to them and seek advice not only about my studies but also about personal difficulties.
Whenever my acquaintances ask me to recommend an agency for studying in Japan, I confidently recommend MAKOTO. I personally went through the application process with the teachers, and I was truly impressed and inspired by how systematic and well-organized everything was.
Whether you're looking for a great Japanese language school or a reliable agency to study in Japan, I highly recommend MAKOTO!

I first learned about MAKOTO through a recommendation from my Japanese language teacher, who told me that it was a trustworthy agency. That's how I decided to apply to a school in Japan through MAKOTO.
Even before starting the application process, MAKOTO arranged a one-on-one Zoom meeting to explain everything in detail, including their agency services, the school application process, and the rules and requirements. They also provided detailed information about the school I wanted to attend and offered helpful advice. I was very satisfied with how thoroughly they explained everything and discussed my options with me.
From the moment I started my application, I could freely ask questions about anything I didn't understand. No matter when I contacted them, they always responded patiently and carefully. I was truly grateful for their support.
They provided excellent support throughout the entire process, from my initial school application and COE approval until I successfully arrived in Japan.
Although I only attended MAKOTO's online Speaking Class via Zoom, I could clearly see how much effort and care the teachers put into their lessons. Rather than simply teaching to complete the course, they followed a well-structured curriculum focused on practical Japanese that students would actually need after arriving in Japan.
Now that I'm living in Japan, I often realize how useful those lessons have been in my daily life. It always makes me feel that joining MAKOTO's Speaking Class was absolutely worth it.
For anyone planning to come to Japan as an international student, I 100% recommend MAKOTO's Speaking Class!
I'm sincerely grateful to everyone at MAKOTO for taking such good care of me throughout the entire journey, from the beginning of my application until my arrival in Japan.
What touched me the most was that they didn't treat me as just another client. Their kindness, patience, and genuine care made me feel that they were supporting me wholeheartedly, not simply doing their job as an agency.
If anyone I know plans to study in Japan in the future, I will definitely recommend MAKOTO with confidence.

"Before attending the speaking class of Makoto, I lacked confidence in the speaking aspect, one of the four skills in my Japanese learning journey. After participating, I now feel sufficiently confident and no longer fear speaking Japanese, thanks to the immersive environment that not only enhances speaking skills but also social skills. I highly recommend everyone attend this class because of its student-centered teaching style, which is a crucial factor for effective improvement."

When I arrived in Thailand, I felt completely lost and didn't know how to continue my journey to Japan. During that difficult time, my teacher recommended MAKOTO, their partner agency, and that's how I first got in touch with them.
MAKOTO is such a friendly and welcoming place. 🥰
At first, I had no idea which school I should apply to, so they arranged a one-on-one Zoom meeting to discuss my options and explain everything clearly and in detail.
What impressed me the most was how reliable and trustworthy they were when handling all the necessary documents. Another thing I truly appreciate is their genuine kindness and dedication.
Even though I wasn't a regular student at MAKOTO, they treated me with the same care and attention as everyone else, without any discrimination. I could really feel how sincerely they wanted to help.
And now, I've successfully received my Japanese visa while living in Thailand!
A special thank you to the teacher who first introduced me to MAKOTO. 🥰
I'm also deeply grateful to all the teachers and staff at MAKOTO for patiently explaining everything and supporting me throughout the process. 🥰
Thank you so much for everything, MAKOTO! 🙇🏼♀️
Highly recommended!

I joined MAKOTO for my April 2025 intake application after receiving a recommendation from a teacher.
From the very beginning of the application process, the MAKOTO team carefully explained every step I needed to take and provided thorough preparation and support for my school interview. They also checked all my application documents carefully to make sure everything was in order.
Even after my COE (Certificate of Eligibility) was approved, they continued to guide me step by step, explaining what I needed to do after arriving in Japan and what precautions I should take.
From the beginning of my school application until I received my visa, they supported me with genuine care and dedication.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to **Daw Ei Ei Moe Aung Sensei** and all the teachers at MAKOTO for their kindness and support. 💕
Thank you so much for everything, MAKOTO!
ありがとうございました🤍🙇
Whether you're planning to apply to a school in Japan or looking for Japanese language classes, I highly recommend MAKOTO for their sincere dedication and excellent support. 🫶

MAKOTO is a language school that not only provides excellent teaching but is also 100% trustworthy when it comes to COE applications.
I first heard about MAKOTO from a friend and decided to enroll last year.
Before joining, I was worried that the classes might be overcrowded or that the teaching might not be well-organized. I sincerely hoped that wouldn't be the case, and thankfully, my wish came true!
MAKOTO keeps a reasonable number of students in each class, creating a quiet, comfortable, and peaceful learning environment. The teachers are very patient and explain everything carefully.
They encourage students to study regularly without putting unnecessary pressure on them.
When I consider the duration of each level and the tuition fees, I honestly feel that the quality of education and support is worth even more than what I paid.
When it comes to applying to schools in Japan, MAKOTO allows students to choose from good schools according to their preferences. They also provide interview preparation and training, so all students really need to do is focus on studying and preparing themselves.
Throughout my life, I've had many choices to make, and I've made plenty of wrong decisions along the way.
But **choosing MAKOTO was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made.**
Thank you so much, MAKOTO! ♥️

I am a student who went to Osaka, Japan, for the April 2025 intake, traveling from Thailand.
At first, I was wondering whether there was an agency that could help students apply to Japanese schools from Thailand. Fortunately, an acquaintance recommended MAKOTO to me, so I decided to contact them and ask about the application process.
From the very beginning, they carefully guided me through every step, including the school application procedures and all the necessary documentation. They arranged Zoom meetings, patiently explained everything in detail, and made sure each step was handled properly.
To be honest, I initially had some doubts about whether I could really trust an agency, especially these days when it's difficult to know which services are genuine.
However, MAKOTO proved to be a truly reliable and trustworthy agency that handled everything carefully and professionally.
That's why I can confidently say that **I 100% recommend MAKOTO! 💯**
