About the Yamasa Institute:
The Institute is an independent non-profit center for Japanese language
education teaching and research. It is located in a city called
Okazaki in Aichi Prefecture (in central Japan).
The Institute is endowed by a non profit, non government education philanthropy called the
Hattori Foundation. The Foundation was established in 1919. For email addresses and contact details

Yamasa has a large faculty and online community, supporting several thousand
scholars and students with a wide range of web based education services. The Institute currently consists of two schools:
Aichi Center for Japanese Studies - This is the large "bricks and mortar"
campus in
Okazaki that is close to the main
JR train station, with excellent
facilities and housing for students.
Online Center for Japanese Studies - This is the "virtual" campus supporting the online distance learning programs, supported
by extensive infrastucture including the multimedia studio, our campus
radio station, the distance learning theater and other facilities. As with the
Aichi Center, the Online Center has its own fulltime faculty.
The mission of the Yamasa Institute is....

OCJS learning communities.
with Okazaki, Japan and the
internet as our classroom, to maintain our reputation for innovative programs and
personalized high quality instruction.

to admit students of a wider and more diverse range of national, linguistic and economic backgrounds than any Institute in Japan.
