Message from the Chairman/Principals
We believe that the studies at UNITAS Japanese Language School and Foreign Language Academy, will provide the flexibility to respond to various situations in the global community, and cultivate the ability to contribute to the formation of a sustainable society and the power to take action, as indicated by the SDGs.
In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, it has been difficult for people to travel across countries. In such circumstances however, I believe that we have once again been able to observe ourselves through international exchange, confirm the importance of firmly finding common ground as global citizens, and have time to think about what we should do from our respective standpoints in the future. We will continue to support our students to expand their possibilities for the future through language education and cross-cultural exchange.

Unitas began as a small school in Kofu, yet from the very beginning, our approach to education has been rooted in one unwavering belief: the importance of genuine dialogue with each student. We see dialogue not simply as a means of delivering knowledge, but as the foundation for nurturing individuality and unlocking each student’s potential.
Today, online learning and AI technologies have expanded the ways in which we connect, reducing physical distance and creating new opportunities. Even so, our commitment to meaningful, person‑to‑person dialogue remains unchanged. In an age of rapid digitalization, the ability to truly listen, understand, and connect with others is more essential than ever.
We will continue to cultivate individuals who can thrive in a changing world—people who will shape the future and contribute to society with confidence and purpose.
Chairman and Principal of UNITAS Japanese Language School
Yukihisa Masuyama
Since its opening in April 2007, Unitas Japanese Language School Tokyo has embraced a simple yet enduring belief: through practical Japanese language education, students can gain a deeper understanding of the Japanese language and culture, and—by learning alongside classmates from many different countries—grow into individuals who can contribute to a harmonious, multicultural society.
I have always felt that language is another kind of passport—one that opens doors to new possibilities for your future. When we learn a language, we gain the ability to communicate, to understand one another, and to build relationships that enrich our lives.
Our international students come to Japan filled with hopes for their future—whether in higher education or in their careers. To support them in achieving their dreams, we focus not only on teaching the Japanese language, but also on nurturing communication skills that foster mutual understanding of diverse cultures and values throughout the learning process. It is our wish to help each student open a path toward their own future.
We will continue to devote our passion to Japanese language education, and to nurturing individuals who can grow with confidence and play active roles on the global stage.
