DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Do you feel this way?

While studying at a Japanese language school or university here in Japan,
many foreign residents run into walls like these:

These are the struggles
foreign residents face every day.

We take these struggles seriously.
Because your time here is limited,
we want to give you an experience that becomes a real asset.

LEARN FROM THE BEST

Learn Japanese & customer service from the best.

Working here, you'll build real Japanese, customer-service skills,
and career-ready experience — all while getting paid.

Why can we make that promise?

One reason: the quality of training here has already been proven.

S1 Server Grand Prix champion Takao Maruyama speaking at the competition

Our first graduate, Takao Maruyama, won Japan's No.1 Customer Service Championship —
a nationwide customer-service contest known as the "S1 Server Grand Prix" —
beating out 1,026 entries from across the country.

And the international staff who trained under him are now speaking fluent Japanese and thriving on the floor.

Here's what Maruyama has to say:

"Customer service is work that shapes a person's life."

It's not about talent. It's about environment,
and the daily habit of showing up.

"Daily preparation, daily practice, daily execution."
That's what he kept doing.

This national championship is proof of one thing:
train seriously here, and real results follow.

Language barriers can be overcome with the right practice and support.
