We have many different accommodations with different prices in our pool. As we pass on the final price directly to you, the rental price may vary by a few euros. However, these are only minor deviations.
Unfortunately not. All language schools in Japan divide their classes according to level and number of students, so unfortunately we do not know which group you will be placed in until shortly before school starts. After three months, however, the classes are always reshuffled.
