Welcome to Gateway
Japanese Language & Culture

The trademark of Gateway is “Torii” which is a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of a Shinto shrine.

It marks the transition from this world to the sacred world. As the gate offers you an entrance to a different world, it is our aim to create a doorway to Japanese language and culture and to be the guide to this new world, helping you to start walking by yourself.

We want you to experience and enjoy a deeper understanding of Japanese language and culture.

– Hisami Kimura, founder of Gateway Japanese
