I went to several classes before joining this class, but nothing comes close to the quality of this class. Practical teaching of Japanese helps in growth in a short time. Also, the visa consulting service is the best in this business. I also came to Japan through Kouki - 100% recommended.

FAQ · よくある質問

Frequently asked questions

Everything students and parents in Sri Lanka ask us before starting the journey to Japan.

Which is the best Japanese language school in Sri Lanka for studying in Japan?
Kouki International is one of Sri Lanka’s leading Japanese language schools for students who want to study and work in Japan. Since 2020 we have combined native Japanese teachers, full JLPT, NAT, JFT-Basic and SSW exam preparation, and complete student-visa guidance, with branches in Yakkala and Polonnaruwa and a residential campus in Alawwa.
Are lessons taught by native Japanese teachers?
Yes. Students learn from native Japanese teachers based in Japan (online) alongside our experienced local instructors, so you hear natural pronunciation and learn real Japanese workplace manners from day one.
Which Japanese exams does Kouki International prepare students for?
We prepare students for the JLPT (N5-N4), the NAT-TEST, JFT-Basic and the SSW (Specified Skilled Worker) examination - everything you need to study or work in Japan.
Do you help with the Japan student visa?
Yes. We provide end-to-end student-visa guidance: school selection, application documents, the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and embassy documentation, so you only have to focus on your studies.
Where are Kouki International’s branches located?
We have branches in Yakkala (head office, opposite the Ayurweda Hospital) and Polonnaruwa (Hospital Junction), plus a residential campus in Alawwa. We are open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM.
How do I enroll and how much do classes cost?
Call or message us on WhatsApp at (+94) 76 903 5117 or (+94) 74 227 7882, email koukiinternational@gmail.com, or walk into any branch for a free consultation. Our team will explain the course options, schedule and fees for your goal.
How can I go to Japan to study from Sri Lanka?
The proven path is: (1) learn Japanese to at least JLPT N5-N4 level, (2) pass a recognised exam such as JLPT, NAT or JFT-Basic, (3) get accepted by a Japanese language school or institution, and (4) obtain the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and student visa. Kouki International guides you through all four steps - 170+ of our students are already in Japan, with an 88% visa success rate.
How much does it cost to study in Japan from Sri Lanka?
Local Japanese courses at Kouki start from Rs. 55,000 (Full Time N5, 2 months). The total cost of going to Japan depends on the Japanese school, city and program you choose - at your free consultation we give you a complete, honest cost breakdown with no hidden charges before you commit to anything.
Can I work part-time while studying in Japan?
Yes. Japan allows international students on a student visa to work up to 28 hours per week part-time. Many of our students support their living costs this way while studying - and we prepare you with the workplace Japanese and manners needed to find a good part-time job.
Does Kouki International teach English courses too?
Yes. Alongside Japanese, we run a 25-day intensive Residential English Course at our Alawwa campus (Rs. 95,000 with meals and accommodation) covering Spoken English, Public Speaking and Personality Development, with dual certification from Kouki International and Sussex English Academy.
