About Us

Our Philosophy
and Mission

We practice Japanese language education as intercultural education. While our behavior and ways of thinking are greatly influenced by our own cultures, intercultural communication does not work when we stick to our own way of thinking. Usually, we are unaware of “culture,” value or way of thinking as something natural as air. At Communica Institute, we aim to be aware of it and to share it. Our aim is to build a foundation on which, while cherishing your own culture, you can get over its boundary, find a new way and build a third culture by synergy.

  • Know thyself.
  • Learn through experience.

Three months have passed since the study began in Kobe. It came to be able to have so many happiness moments.
All teachers and friends are so gentleness. I have no regard to make this decision. Thanks so much.
I bought cook books in book store in Kobe. Since I back from Hong Kong,
I keep reading the cook books and Japanese news on internet.

My most favorite day is the Firework festival in Kobe. All teachers and classmates wearing Summer-Kimono to watch the firework show, everybody was enjoying the Japanese look and we all looked beautiful. All teachers in Communica Institute are nice and kind-heart persons, I enjoyed having lessons with them, went out for visiting different places in Kobe, teachers are looked like as our friends more than our teachers.
