＜FaQ＞

1. I live outside Japan. Can I apply for lessons?
→ Yes, both Chat Room and Private Lessons are available to anyone, regardless of where they live. However Private Lessons are only available to those who are able to transfer the lesson fee to our designated account at Japan Post Bank.

2. Can I make a payment to a bank other than Japan Post Bank?
→ At the moment, payments can only be made through Japan Post Bank.
We appreciate your understanding.

3. What should I do if I can’t attend my scheduled lesson?
→ You may cancel your lesson in advance at any time. However, if you miss the lesson without notifying us, it will still be counted as one session used.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We’re always happy to help!
