What we treasure most
With the experience working at local Japanese educational institutions in the small city of Kagoshima for over 14 years, and teaching young children, I have realized there are not much opportunities to learn how to communicate with people due to the advancement of technologies, declining of birthrate and aging population and other facts that are surrounding us. Kotoba Kyoiku Kenkyushitsu, aka “Kotoba Education Institute” started in May 2022 when my former English s-learning students came back to me wanting to take lessons again. In July 2022, I also started acting as an International Education consultant under this business.
Ever since then, I was blessed with so many people/students with enthusiasm to immerse themselves in different cultures and environment, who I supported with their planning overseas. With a lot of them, I still keep in touch, hoping that we will cross our paths again in the future.
If you landed on this web site looking for partnership, please go to “contact” and leave me a message stating so. I will get back to you as soon as I can, and discuss our possible collaboration in the near future.

Testimonial
Our students send messages with pictures to tell us all about studying overseas.
Read below for what they are experiencing. (All in Japanese.)
M. H. from Victoria, BC, Canada
M was very eager to learn English before going to Canada. She studied textbooks at home on her day off from work. She tried writing English to me once a while to improve her writing skills. So, she was ready to learn more when she arrived and wasn’t afraid to ask questions whenever she had some.
She’s completed her course and is on Working Holiday program, enjoying her new lifestyle. Now that she’s in the second stage of her stay in Canada, there isn’t much to help, however, I’m always here if she needs any support. Keep up your great work!
N. I. from Dubai, UAE
She quit her role as an educator when I met her, seeking advice for her English language studies. When she came to me first time, she was thinking either the Philippines or Montreal, Canada as her destination. However, as we continued chatting, she decided it was Dubai that she would go for her language education.
Her efforts were just amazing! She never hesitated to speak to her classmates to be friendly with them, or to try being with other students whose first language wasn’t her own. She was very successful with her studies, to bring her level enough to communicate with others easily.

Originally from Tokyo, currently based in Kagoshima. After graduated from an international high school, I went to Vancouver, Canada to study Airline and Travel diploma course. In April 1996, I volunteered at the pre-open event at Vancouver International Airport.With some experience at clothing store and travel company, I traveled to Canada with Working Holiday program, engaging in the tourism industry as a travel consultant at a local agency. The third landing in Canada was as an immigrant and worked at a receptionist at a resort hotel, followed by the position at a customer call centre of an American Food company.
Returned to Japan in 2004, and 5 years later, I moved to Kagoshima, where I am, and started my career as an assistant English teacher, which I have fully been enjoying ever since. I have studied Neuro-Linguistic Programing and Child Phycology, and have started my own small business in July 2022.
I LOVE physical training. I’m a marathon runner, and a Spartan Race lover.
