So what makes us the best Japanese school in Melbourne?
As mentioned above, we truly believe it’s our teachers and their love of teaching Japanese. They’re all locally based in Melbourne. We do not employ teachers to live/teach from overseas. Over the years we have hired and trained a team of local Japanese teachers who have become a part of our school.
While there are many great teachers abroad who teach online, we prefer to only hire local talent within Australia. For our students, it’s a more localised, relatable learning experience. We also understand what it takes to learn a language. Our teachers have also learnt English as a second language and draw upon their own experiences. Through our interactive lessons and supportive teaching methods, students develop the confidence and skills to speak Japanese effectively, whether for travel or cultural immersion. These are just a few reasons why we believe our school has become the best place to learn Japanese!
Unique teaching style with custom curriculum
We’ve developed and fine tuned how we deliver our Japanese courses. We have a unique teaching style. The teaching principles and foundation follows the native Tokyo Dialect. The added benefit is we provide grammatical explanations and support in English (for our beginners).
Yes, the ‘direct immersion method’ as people refer to works well but in our opinion not for complete beginners. Have you ever been in a Japanese class and found yourself using Google Translate to work out what the teacher was teaching?
We focus on providing excellent Japanese classes with in-depth explanations. Sure there’s some content that’s always tricky to learn but you will not need to use Google translate in class with our teachers.
Cultural Workshops and Events
At Nunawading Japanese School, we believe that learning Japanese is not just about mastering the language, but also about immersing oneself in the rich and vibrant culture of Japan. Our cultural workshops and events are designed to provide students with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Japanese customs, traditions, and way of life.
Our cultural workshops and events include:
Traditional Japanese tea ceremonies
Calligraphy and origami classes
Japanese cooking classes
Cultural festivals and celebrations
Language exchange events with native Japanese speakers
Our cultural workshops and events are led by experienced professionals, who are passionate about sharing their love of Japanese culture with our students. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced learner, our cultural workshops and events are a great way to enhance your language skills and gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture.
We strive to be the best Japanese School!

Class at Nunawading Japanese School has been the highlight of my week for the past year. The teachers have been fantastic and extremely enthusiastic, using a diverse range of activities to assist with language learning. Already I have confidence in speaking, reading and writing, but most importantly I can clearly see the groundwork that has been laid in the first part of the course. It is extremely reassuring to see the thought and care that has been put into the course structure – Charlie, B2 student

My experience at Nunawading Japanese School has been 10/10. Since being here for over a year I feel as though the progression is realistic and, with the content covered during each weekly lesson, you’ll find yourself comprehending more of the language surprisingly fast. Every lesson has taught me enough content to learn everything I would need for the week while also not being too heavy to where it would make it difficult to catch up on missed lessons especially for students with busy schedules. Not only the content provided but the teachers who are brilliant in their ability to teach the complexities of the language. They provide a much needed learning environment that’s seriously fun and enjoyable, you’ll wish the classes were longer! I couldn’t recommend a better school to learn Japanese – Jesse, B2 student
This is an excellent learning centre for adults! I really enjoyed learning Japanese in fun, immersive and engaging classes with native Japanese teachers. I would highly recommend Nunawading Japanese School to anyone looking to learn Japanese! – Ally, B3 student
