Kikokushijo Academy Opens New Bunkyo Motomachi Campus in Central Tokyo

Just 5 minutes from Suidobashi Station. A new hub for supporting returnee and bilingual learners.

Kikokushijo Academy (KA), operated by Global KA Holdings Inc. and led by CEO Charles Knudsen, is proud to announce the opening of its newest campus, Bunkyo Motomachi School, located in Hongo, Bunkyo City. Known for its strong track record in returnee and English-based junior high school entrance exams, KA continues to expand its network across Tokyo. This new campus provides additional learning opportunities for returnee and bilingual students in the Bunkyo area and surrounding neighborhoods. As with all KA locations, instruction is designed to build the skills students need beyond exam success, and to think and express themselves confidently in English.

Key Features of the Bunkyo Motomachi Campus

Convenient Central Location
The campus is a 5-minute walk from Suidobashi Station and within a 10-minute walk of both Ochanomizu and Hongo-sanchome Stations, offering easy access from many nearby areas.

Focused Weekend Program
Classes are held on Saturdays to allow students to engage deeply with their learning. Small group instruction ensures each child receives personalized support.
Starting March 2026, Sunday classes will also be offered to expand weekend learning opportunities. Please note that class availability is limited.
