* Ichiyo’s lesson times were updated on January 30, 2025.
皆さん、こんにちは。(Hello, everyone.) I am Ichiyo from Japan. I represent “Ichiyo’s Japanese Online Lesson” and teach Japanese to non-native Japanese learners.
Do you have a licensed Japanese teacher who provides lessons adapted to your purpose?
We often receive these kinds of comments:
・I am not sure if my Japanese is correct and natural. I want a teacher who checks my Japanese every time.
・I just want to enjoy speaking Japanese.
・I want to learn Anime phrases.
・My pronunciation skills have not improved even though I have lived in Japan for many years.
・I find business conversation and writing sentences to be difficult in Japanese.
I have seen many learners who use incorrect Japanese without noticing it. From my experience, 80 to 90% of them speak impolite Japanese because they lack skills in using the honorific language called 「敬語 (keigo)」. It may appear as rude if you do not use the honorific language correctly in Japan. Moreover, in some Japanese language schools, I saw many teachers skip correcting students’ incorrect Japanese to finish the class on time. Teachers do not have enough time to correct each students’ Japanese and they graduate still using incorrect Japanese. I found it difficult to fulfill students’ needs in language schools. Whenever I saw learners using incorrect Japanese, I thought I could better help them by teaching them privately instead.
For these reasons, I started private lessons and services. We will solve your problems with the Japanese language and try to be a teacher who meet students’ needs!
Two types of services offered by “Ichiyo’s Japanese Online Lesson”
To improve your Japanese skills, we offer two types of services. All levels are welcome!
1. Private Conversation Lesson (Online Lesson)
Conversation with a native Japanese teacher is a very effective way in improving your skills. Japanese language is very complicated and teachers must have professional teaching skills. We completed the curriculum “420 Hours of Japanese Teacher Training Course.”
We do not have a predefined curriculum. We will create our lessons according to your needs and goals. Conversation lessons will be held using Skype.
2. Daily Japanese Mail Support
To use Japanese correctly, you need a teacher who checks and corrects all of your Japanese every time. Furthermore, it is important to use Japanese daily.
You can learn Japanese anytime and anywhere in the world.
Professional Japanese teachers will check your Japanese and answer all of your questions using email every time. We will teach you Japanese until you understand it completely.
・You can ask us questions about Japanese.
・We will check the Japanese sentences that you wrote.
・We will check your videos or audio recordings of you speaking Japanese.
・We will check your handwritten Japanese characters.
Student-Tailored Explanatory Service
We will create explanatory web pages for you when it is difficult to explain Japanese using email.
Skype lesson (30 minutes)
Purchasing “Daily Japanese Mail Support” once also includes a Skype lesson. We will check your Japanese face-to-face, not only by email.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Japanese language and culture, but my struggle with pronunciation has held me back from truly embracing the language. That all changed when I discovered Ichiyo’s Japanese Online Lesson. This service has completely transformed my ability to speak Japanese with confidence. One of the standout features of it is its focus on pronunciation. Ichiyo is a native speaker with exceptional teaching skills. He pays meticulous attention to every nuance of pronunciation, helping me correct my mistakes and refine my accent. Within a few lessons, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my ability to pronounce Japanese words correctly. Now, I feel much more comfortable speaking the language.
