Our school is located on the northern outskirts of the city. The satellite town of Senri is nearby and the Expo '70 Banpaku park with its huge grounds and awesome amusement park is close by too. The area is easily accessed from central Osaka by subway train or railway. As a result of careful town planning in the late sixties this area is blessed with many tree lined roads and relaxing footpaths and makes a very pleasant contrast to the busness of the city not far to the south! This area is not exclusively rich - although there are huge houses (by Japanese standards) nestling in the back roads. However, the average family in this area is anxious to seek a good education for their children - hence the proliferation of educational related businesses such as Japanese cram or study schools, culture schools and quality English language schools such as ours.
