Campus Life
Yearly Schedule
Daily Schedule (Zao Kangan/Chinese)
Part-time Job
Students are prohibited from working, but if you obtain a work permit from the Immigration Bureau, you will be permitted to work up to 28 hours per week (up to 8 hours per day during a long vacation). However, school rules prohibit students from getting a part-time job for the first month after entering school. A part-time job can of course lessen the burden of daily life expenses and help you make new acquaintances. For those students whose Japanese is at a low level, you can get a job delivering newspapers or washing dishes. For those students whose Japanese is at a higher level, you can get a job at a convenience store or restaurant.
Student Support
Support When Arriving in Japan
The school staff will accompany you when needed and provide support registering for the following:
- Resident Registration
- National Health Insurance
- Bank Account
- Mobile Phone
Conversation Volunteer Tutor
At YMCA, in order to give students who do not have much time to speak Japanese a chance to speak with a Japanese person, there is a Japanese volunteer tutor program. It’s a good chance for students to practice their Japanese. For those students who wish to participate, once a week you can get a chance to speak natural Japanese with a Japanese person as well as learn Japanese culture.

At YMCA there is a scholarship system to help support education.
