Payment Methods & Bank Account Details

There are a number of ways by which fees can be paid. On applying for your client, you will be faxed an invoice by the Admissions Office. Please confirm receipt of this invoice. Tuition fee payments must be made at least 5 weeks before the start date of the course (TWO MONTHS IF YOUR CLIENT REQUIRES A HOMESTAY). Accommodation fee payments can be made together with the tuition fee payments, or separately by your client on arrival. Currently available payment methods are listed below.

Bank Transfer

In Japan, bank transfers are the easiest and fastest way to pay your client's fees. NOTE: ALWAYS WRITE YOUR ORGANIZATION'S NAME AND THE INVOICE REFERENCE NUMBER IN THE "SENDER" SECTION WHEN TRANSFERRING FEES. This is to help us trace your transfer.

Bank information for transfers from within Japan

If you need to transfer money to our account from within Japan, the same account can be used. For easy reference, the bank details in Japanese is as follows

Credit Cards

At Yamasa it is possible to pay fees using Visa card and Mastercard. Due to a number of restrictions, it is not possible for your client or your organization to use a credit card to pay for the tuition or accommodation unless IN Okazaki. This means that your client's initial tuition fees will need to be paid by an alternative method.

IMO/Bank Checks

International Money Orders and Bank Checks may be used to pay for fees. Please ask the bank to denominate the IMO/Check in Japanese yen. We can process in other currencies - though with this method there is certain to be a currency fluctuation between the time you send the IMO/check and the time it arrives. Also please note that IMO's and bank checks take several weeks to clear. If your client needs to apply for a visa in order to study at Yamasa, then you should not use an IMO or bank check unless you are applying at least 2 months in advance.

If you are paying via this method, please have the IMO/check made out to The Yamasa Institute.
