I've been researching and there are plenty of Japanese language schools in Tokyo so it's hard to know which ones are good and which ones suck monkey balls.
. . . That's why I'm here. I need ALL the info I can get. Thanks in advanced |

I hear good things about this one.
Tokyo Japanese Language Education Center-JASSO It has a 72-year history, which is unheard of among Japanese language schools. Unlike many others, it has a dorm as well. |

I have been in this one for 5 weeks and i think its really good. The homestay was also great and i think the price is reasonable too.

Well i have been there last year. I had a bit knowledge before i got there so it was ok. They make a test in the beginning to decide wich level you are. I was level 1 (there is a level 0 as well). In the 5 weeks ive been there we learned the basics, so it was challenging at times and i was happy that a studied a bit before.
The teachers were really good and i thought the level-system worked really well. I´ve only had 20h a week so i had time to enjoy Tokyo in the afternoons wich was really great. There a quite a few Asian students but usually on the higher levels. The lower levels see more European or American/latin American students. I just thought the teachers (most of them) were really good, thats why i recommend this school to you. It would be good if you learn a little bit before you go there, especially Hiragana and Katakane if you take the conversation course because you will need it but not specially learn it (or in a really short time) Have fun! |

Well the original plan was 4 weeks but i decided to stay another week because it was fun. I only did 5 weeks because i went to Japan to travel and i don´t really need Japanese other than for travelling. I stayed in Japan a whole year and i worked and travelled. So i´d figured i just need a basic everyday japanese and than get started from there. Because i had already learned a bit before it worked quite well and my Japanese got better while travelling!
Now my japanese is good for a daily use but not really correct (some grammar mistakes). I just wanted people to know what im talking about and have an easy conversation or so and because of that 5 weeks was enough! |

Oh okay
Whenever I have the funds available, I'm planning on going to Tokyo to study Japanese. I don't know if I should go for 3 months, 6 months, or a year. I think 3 months isn't sufficient time to learn Japanese, though. |

Tbh, depending on how much fluency you want and how immersed you are 1 year may not be enough. Spending a year just studying would be pretty darn expensive too...
