Dear Parents,
When deciding on your child's future career
What you need to know
Japan Hotel School was established in 1972 to develop talent who can work in the hotel and bridal industries. Since its establishment, the school has always been committed to "continuing to contribute to the development of the industry" and "providing a satisfying education to all students." We would like to share with parents what we have achieved to achieve this.
Message from the Principal
As parents consider a career in the hotel or bridal industry, some of you may have various concerns and questions. We would like to sincerely address each and every one of you. We would be delighted if you would come and visit our school.

Five things you should know
1. A specialized educational institution for hotels and weddings born from the industry
Prince Hotels opened the Prince Hotel School with the aim of training hoteliers. Due to the urgent need for human resource development, Japan Hotel School has grown into Japan's largest hotel school. What makes us clearly different from other vocational schools is that we are not a comprehensive tourism school. Because all students study with the same future goal, we are able to offer a more specialized curriculum.
2.High employment record due to strong relationships of trust with the industry
Every year, human resources personnel and even general managers of hotels and bridal companies visit our school to hold company information sessions, which shows the high expectations our school has for its students. Another major feature is that we actively organize alumni associations, which allows us to indirectly support our students in finding a job or creating a strong network after graduation.
3. Educational programs highly regarded by the industry
As a curriculum based on "creating services by integrating theory and practical skills," our school's curriculum repeats classroom and practical training, allowing students to immediately put what they have learned in classrooms into practice in the field, and to apply what they have learned in the field to theory again. The three practical training sessions over two years in the daytime division allow students to experience different hotels (bridal facilities) and different types of work, giving them the opportunity to think about the suitability of their job and the company they will choose when looking for a job through practical experience. Furthermore, even though they are students, they are paid for their practical training, which helps them develop a sense of responsibility and at the same time reduces their financial burden by using the money to cover the cost of overseas study trips.
4. Differences between universities and Japan Hotel School
The number of universities with tourism-related faculties and departments is rapidly increasing. There are differences between universities and Japan Hotel School in terms of curriculum, such as corporate internships and class combinations, teaching materials, and instructors. There are particularly large differences in career guidance and employment destinations. Looking at the career paths of graduates from tourism universities, not many find employment in tourism-related fields, with only about 10% finding employment in hotel or bridal-related fields. For those who aspire to build a career in customer service and aim to become on-site professionals or managers, studying at a vocational school like Japan Hotel School may be a good fit.
5. Human resource development to "continue to contribute to the development of the industry"
The Japan Hotel Education Center, a general incorporated foundation, works in conjunction with our school to train young people who want to work in the hotel industry, as well as train people for the hospitality industry, particularly hotels and inns. The foundation has developed over 50 hotel education textbooks in collaboration with staff from the Japan Hotel School, a vocational school. These textbooks are used as teaching materials by over 100 companies, universities, and vocational schools across the country. In order to contribute to the development of the industry, the foundation is also working to train people through the development of textbooks.
