Chairman’s Greeting
Tochigi International Education Institute Chairman
Yoshiteru Shimizu
Tochigi International Education Institute is a Japanese language school specializing in human resource development for lodging facilities. Our students study with the goal of finding employment at hotels and ryokans in Japan.
The lodging industry in the tourism industry, which is indispensable for future economic development, has a particularly strong influence. There is an urgent need to take measures to address the labor shortage caused by the declining birthrate, aging population, and depopulation. As globalization progresses, it is becoming necessary to create a system that includes excellent foreign staff.
Our school teaches not only the Japanese language, but also the knowledge of culture, customs, morals, and other things necessary for a member of society, as well as things related to hotels and ryokans. We guide students to acquire what they need to work in a lodging facility, such as cooperativeness and common sense cultivated in a boarding school environment, and part-time jobs dedicated to the service industry. We also emphasize the basics, such as punctuality, greetings, cleaning, and health care. We deal with these issues with strictness, and our students are passionate and energetic every day.
We will continue to make every effort to be of service in the development of human resources who will take part in the lodging industry.
