YazaGaku has been teaching Japanese seriously since 2014, when our founder Dr. Aiko Tanaka left her Hitotsubashi University lectureship to build a better way for adult learners. A decade on, the numbers speak in our learners' accents.

Your trial is not a sandbox. The moment your inbox confirms, the same platform our paying learners use to pass JLPT N2 opens to you in full.
An engine trained on 1.2 million minutes of native-speaker dialogue, retuned quarterly by our Kyoto linguistics team. It watches how you answer and reshapes the next twenty minutes in real time — no two study sessions are identical.
Every paid tier includes private video sessions with a native Japanese instructor from our 38-person Kyoto staff — not a $400/month add-on, not a chatbot in a trench coat. Book a slot, talk, get notes in writing.
Full timed simulations for all six official levels — N5 through N1 — updated each December from the latest JLPT administrations. Track your projected band, drill your weak sections, walk into test day calm.
"I had failed JLPT N3 twice with a private cram school in Tokyo. YazaGaku's coaches rebuilt my grammar from the ground up, and the AI drills forced me to actually listen instead of pattern-match. I passed N2 on my first attempt — and I now run Japan-desk operations for an ANA partner airline."
Your account stays open and your study streak, kanji progress, and coach notes are preserved. On day eight, we email you a single reminder. If you do nothing, the trial simply ends — no charges, no cancellations, no nag screens. If you choose to continue, All-Access is $29/month or $249/year (about $20.75/month), with a 60-day money-back guarantee from your first paid charge.
Correct. We only ask for an email and a password. We will never request a card during signup, and we will not store one silently. If you decide to subscribe after the trial, you can add payment then — or not.
Open Account → Subscription → Cancel. One click. You will receive an email confirmation within sixty seconds. If you ever paid and are within your 60-day fluency window, you can request a full refund from the same screen — no phone calls, no retention scripts.
All 38 video coaches are native Japanese speakers, based in Kyoto, and hired full-time onto our staff — not contracted freelancers, not bilingual non-natives, not AI voices with a face. Many hold graduate degrees in linguistics or education; every coach completes our internal 240-hour pedagogy certification before taking a learner. Our curriculum engineers (14 in total) handle the AI and content layer; your coach handles you.
Yes — you get the full JLPT preparation program during the trial: timed past-paper simulators for N5 through N1 (updated each December), kanji and vocabulary workbooks, section-by-section scoring with a projected band, and the option to book a coach specializing in JLPT strategy. Aggregate pass rate across 4,200+ coached candidates since 2018 is 87.3%, against the 35.4% national average.
