The Main Committee
HIRATA KATHY

With a goal of providing affordable education for people to learn Japanese I set up this club in 1994 with the help from retired Japanese teachers. This club is a seed that we planted in Sakai City that we hope will benefit those are struggling to integrate into a new environment.

I was first introduced to this club by Kathy when I was an English class student.
NAKASAKI YASUKO

I once experienced teaching Japanese overseas. After returning to Japan, I wanted to teach Japanese to foreigners living in Japan. I chanced upon the "Sakai Foreigner Japanese Club" and have been serving here ever since.
