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!
