Life in Japan

Meals

At Micheal’s English school, we empower our students to take control of their own nutrition by providing fully equipped kitchens in their lodgings. This independence allows them to become self-sufficient and take charge of their health and well-being. Additionally, we incorporate a two-hour lunch break into our daily schedule, providing students with ample time to nourish their bodies and recharge for the rest of the day’s activities. We believe that by fostering autonomy and encouraging healthy habits, our students will not only succeed in their language studies but also in their overall wellness journey.

Students can also enjoy the local cuisine, which is famed for its deliciousness and variety, with numerous eateries and food stalls serving up mouth-watering dishes like takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu. Plus, with so many shopping districts, parks and attractions to explore, there’s never a dull moment in Osaka.
