Short intensive courses in Japan?

[Stefan]

Hi all. I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations on schools in Japan (preferably Tokyo-based) that do short intensive courses (residential) in Japanese?

I'm looking to do a 2-week intensive course this year with the hope of being able to take a sabbatical next year to attend a full 6-week intensive course at ICU.

So far I have found various things via google, the most frequently appearing being Genki. Has anybody attended a short intensive course and can recommend it?

Hi guys.

I will be in Fukuoka this August for a week and I want to spend it taking a one week japanese class. Do you know of any? Thanks!

I know there is an intensive summer Japanese course at Waseda University, you can check the details on their website

I've attended this one in 2006. Pretty good and the sensei are all very nice and hardworking. Check it out. It's in O-chanomizu, Tokyo.

ぼくにとっては京都市の京都外国語は結構よかったよ。安くて一ヶ月のプローグラムがあるそうだ。お勧めです。

I did a Google search, and these are the results.

It came up with a lot of results, so I'm sure you'll find something. BTW, make sure the school you're looking at offers a trial lesson before you start taking classes. Most of them should give you a trial one for free or a reduced amount, and a few may check your skill level to see where you need to be.
