Rakuraku Japanese Classes at Kyoto YWCA

Before you go

‘Rakuraku’ is Kyoto YWCA’s Japanese class for foreign residents who live in Japan long-term: once a week, grouped by level.

Run by Kyoto YWCA, the class helps foreign nationals living in Japan learn the Japanese they need for daily life, and is described as a class for people staying long-term. Classes are grouped by level and run Mondays to Saturdays, once a week for each learner.

Classes are small, with one class per room; learners with children can leave them with childcare supporters in a separate room. The teachers are volunteers, and the YWCA is also recruiting new volunteer teachers.
