Hello! My name is Hiroki, and I am a Japanese language instructor.
My lessons are primarily designed for those who wish to converse naturally in Japanese, as well as beginners who have just started learning the language.
I have completed a 420-hour Japanese language teacher training course based on the guidelines of the Agency for Cultural Affairs and hold a nationally certified Japanese language teaching qualification.
(Some information has been redacted to protect personal privacy.)
I focus on teaching “practical Japanese” rather than just grammar. In my lessons, I dedicate as much time as possible to conversation and strive to create an environment where students can express themselves without fear of making mistakes.
I was born in a temple and grew up surrounded by Japanese culture and customs. For this reason, I place particular emphasis on supporting students who wish to learn not only the language but also Japanese culture and ways of thinking.
(The name of this site, “Bozu,” refers to a shaved head in Japanese. Since I was born into a Buddhist temple family, am a monk, and have a shaved head, I chose that as the name for my website.)
I like playing percussion and piano in an orchestra, and I am currently active as a member of a music ensemble. I utilize the “effective communication skills” I have cultivated through my musical activities to provide attentive and meticulous lessons tailored to each individual student.
I offer lessons in a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn while having fun, so please feel free to contact me!
Bozu JAPAN!
