Japan Hotel Academy, a vocational school, has three policies

Based on the Fundamental Act of Education and the School Education Act, the Japan Hotel School provides a consistent education from service to management in order to realize the spirit of its founding, educational philosophy, and educational goals. It integrates classroom learning with practical skills and practice-based education, and cultivates the specialized knowledge, techniques, skills, and practical abilities required for careers in major fields such as hotel and bridal.

It is an educational institution that cultivates talents who can play a wide range of roles in the hotel industry, international people who can acquire and practice the spirit of hospitality, and people with rich social skills.

Admission Policy

As the only hotel-specialized educational institution established by a hotel in Japan, our founding principle has been to "nurture excellent hoteliers who have acquired the knowledge and skills required in the industry, and contribute to the development of human resource development in the hospitality industry, especially the hotel and bridal industry." Based on the richness of humanity, we strive to develop an educational environment and nurture human resources who can play an active role as future leaders in the international industry. Our mission is to nurture international people who can acquire and practice the spirit of hospitality, which allows them to think and act from the other person's perspective, and who have a rich sociality. To this end, our school seeks students who have the following abilities, motivation, and aptitude:

Common to all subjects

• People who are interested in working in the hospitality industry, such as hotels, restaurants, and bridal.
• People who have the desire and passion to learn in order to acquire the specialized knowledge, techniques and skills required for business practice and management.
• Someone who can empathize with the spirit of hospitality, which involves thinking and acting from the other person's perspective.
• Someone who can accept diverse ways of thinking with different values and work collaboratively with others.
• People who sympathize with the educational philosophy and goals based on the school's founding spirit and have the desire to become the ideal student.

Curriculum Policy "Policy for the organization and implementation of the curriculum"

With the goal of nurturing future mid-level executives in related industries such as hotels, the program integrates educational curriculum with both classroom lessons and practical training over the two-year period, and aims to help students acquire specialized knowledge, techniques and skills.

Throughout all educational activities at the school, we promote "vocational education," which develops the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to engage in specific occupations, and "career education," which encourages career development by cultivating the necessary fundamental abilities and attitudes toward each individual's social and occupational independence. We provide education that helps students understand the meaning, rewards, and achievements of work, deepens their understanding of work, and develops initiative and cooperation, as well as the ability to get things done.

The daytime International Hotel Studies course at our school awards the title of "specialist" to those who complete it.

The International Hotel Studies evening course does not qualify as a "specialist" or "professional practice course" mainly due to the total number of class hours over two years.
