Japanese Lessons & Tutoring in Brisbane

Welcome to Little Japan!

We’re a new Japanese language and cultural community based in Brisbane, Queensland. Our aim is to share the rich, colourful and diverse culture Japan has to offer with our local community.

Our native Japanese teachers offer both 1-on-1 and group tutoring sessions for people of all ages. We’re committed to designing lesson plans that help you achieve your Japanese language goals.

School & Kindergarten Workshops

We provide workshops to kindergartens, day care centres and primary schools to give students a unique look into Japanese culture. Our activities are fun and interactive for children of all ages, with a unique “learning through play” approach.

When you work with Little Japan, our teachers will develop a curated lesson plan designed with a variety of interactive classes including origami, calligraphy and role play. Many of our activities are also based around traditional Japanese events, including Tanabta (Star Festival), Hina-matsuri (Girl’s Day), Setsubun (Seasonal Festival) and Bunkasai (Cultural Festival).
