The International Hospitality Department, where we train students to be Japan’s “Omotenashi (Hospitality) Pro,” is a department that is exclusive for foreign students. While improving one’s Japanese language skills, this department develops service and tourism planning skills aimed not just for Japanese but also for foreign tourists.

You can acquire service skills that are on the same level as the Restaurant Service Skilled Worker, which is a national qualification here in Japan.

We offer a full internship program in an actual hotel in Japan. It is a paid internship.

You can learn Japanese Business Manners while wearing suits like a Japanese person

Aside from joining YMCA’s events, we also have international exchange activities in elementary schools.

You can learn about the Great East Japan Earthquake, and experience famous tourist activities in Tohoku like skiing and maple leaves viewing

We have multiple events and classes where you will be able to interact with Japanese students.

In practicing Japanese Hospitality (Omotenashi), we need to really put in more effort than the Japanese students because we need to learn and understand Japanese from the start. But, YMCA teachers help us with eagerness and passion. I can also say the same thing for the staff where I was an intern in. I was able to learn while observing how they work with all of their hearts. With that, with a thankful heart, I will do my best even in my daily activities.

Because I want to learn more about Japanese Hospitality, after graduating from my language school, I entered Sendai YMCA. Since one of my relatives studies inYMCA in Hong Kong, I know that this is a school that I can trust. In the future, I want to work in a Japanese hotel or restaurant. I do like our hospitality classes, but reading and writing in Kanji is difficult for me. But because Sendai YMCA only admits a few students per school year, the teachers can properly teach and assist us. Because of this, you can be at ease and study properly.
