ME (20 years old) Regular Automatic (August)

I can only express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart to the instructors who took care of me. It was a very nice school where the teaching methods were thorough, kind, and fun. It was a great training camp as I was blessed with a good environment and met friends who helped me. I will be recommending it to my friends and juniors! ! Thank you so much to Matsue-san for taking care of me! ! Next, I'm going to get my motorcycle license! ! The instructors have different teaching methods and some are strict, but that's because they are telling us so that we don't have to worry about it when we go out on the street, so it's one thing to just listen to them honestly ( ˶ˊᵕˋ)

"The school is located in a very clean and nice environment, and the school building is also very clean.
In addition, the facilities and services were excellent, and the location was excellent with the sea nearby.
If we had had a little more time for lessons, we might have been able to have fun in the sea.
The hotel accommodation also had a swimming pool.
It really feels like a perfect resort.
As for the actual lessons, I received very clear instruction, which enabled me to graduate in the shortest possible time as planned.
The rooms in the accommodation were spacious, new and comfortable, so I didn't get tired during lessons.
Thank you very much for your help!

"The environment is very good.
The accommodation was a very nice hotel, the room was spacious and the service was also very good, so I would like to use it again on my next trip.
Of course, I would like to drive there myself.
The atmosphere of the school was bright and the staff were very attentive to my needs.
The food was delicious, and it was a great Driving Camp with absolutely nothing bad to say about it.
Thanks to the excellent training, I was able to pass the actual exam after graduation on the first try.

The school is large and very beautiful. It is surrounded by beautiful nature and the sea, so I wanted to come for the training camp in the summer. Of course, I think you can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery in any season. It was March, but it was still a little chilly. However, the air conditioning in the dormitory and school building worked well and it was comfortable. The food was also delicious. So overall I have no complaints. The lessons were also solid, so I was able to graduate within the time limit.

There are many things you have to do in Driving Camp, but the schedule was very strict, so I didn't think it was particularly difficult. The instructor's instructions were also very easy to understand. However, I wish I had a little more free time. There were a lot of attractive tourist spots around, so I would have liked to explore the area a little more. But it was good that I could graduate earlier. It really feels like nothing is wasted. The accommodation was a hotel, so I was able to enjoy a resort atmosphere outside of lessons. The food was also delicious, without complaint, and I had a fun time.

I took Heavy Motorcycle training camp. Although the training period was only six days, all the motorcycle instructors always gave me thorough and careful instruction. I was able to thoroughly practice the single-plank bridge, which I was not good at, and by the last day I had a 100% completion rate and passed the final exam on the first try. The view of Mt. Fuji from the driving school was also beautiful.

I don't know much about driving lessons, but I would highly recommend this school to anyone aiming to get a motorcycle license! Thank you so much to the motorcycle instructors for all your help!!

Some of the instructors' instructions were difficult to understand, but other than that, there were no problems. The school building was clean and the accommodation facilities were very well-equipped. There were plenty of breaks to refresh myself, so I was able to concentrate on my lessons. There was also full support for daily life, so I had almost no problems or worries even though I participated alone.

There was a moderate amount of tension during the lessons, but the rest of the time was basically free, so there was no stress at all. I was surprised to find that the accommodation was a proper hotel. It was completely different to the image of a typical training camp. The food was delicious, and the facilities at the school were very well-equipped, so I had a very enjoyable training experience. The only thing I was dissatisfied with was the attitude of the staff. I understand that they were busy during the summer holidays, but I wish they had been a little more cheerful in their attitude. It was a beautiful and very nice school, but the attitude of the staff ruined it.

"I imagined the Driving Camp school building would be older and dirtier, but it was the complete opposite.
I was surprised because it was a new building and very beautiful.
The lobby in particular was very spacious and clean, with a feeling of openness.
Overall the atmosphere was really good.
The accommodations were clean and well equipped to ensure a comfortable stay.
Unfortunately, my schedule was set by the school and I had no freedom, but thanks to that I was able to graduate in a short period of time.
Overall it's a great school and I would recommend it to everyone.

I enrolled with a friend in March for a regular AT training camp.

I was able to graduate successfully in just two weeks, and all of the instructors were very kind and treated each and every one of them with care and attention, so every hour of both the theory and practical classes became a memorable experience. I'm so sad that I'll no longer be able to see the instructors, receptionists, and drivers after graduating😭💕

As it was the busy season, the popular dormitories were fully booked in October, so we stayed at the pension. It was very comfortable. There were many buses, so I was able to commute safely and concentrate on driving school, which was good.

However, the friend I came with unexpectedly had to stay longer, so I ended up spending the second half of the camp and the day I was leaving alone, so if you're thinking of enrolling with friends, you should be prepared for something like that to happen! 😭

However, as others have written, the school life itself was a very fulfilling and memorable two weeks, so I would highly recommend it to anyone who is undecided ♡ Thank you for all your help 🥲

I attended a training camp about a year ago. Some people write pretty shabby reviews, but for me personally, I had a lot of fun, got my driver's license on the first try, had a lot of good memories, and it was the best Driving School. All my friends who went with me were also very satisfied. I'm sure there are some instructors who don't suit me, but I think that can't be helped as we are all human beings (I just thought that all the instructors were good...). The principal and the lady at the reception were both really kind and nice people. I don't usually write reviews, but since there were so many negative opinions, I felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but write one. It was a really good Driving School.

The accommodation is very nice. The building is not particularly new, but it seems to be well-maintained and I was able to relax. I had no complaints about the food either, it was delicious every day. As for the lessons, the schedule was quite tough in the first half. I understand that it can't be helped since you have to complete a lot of lessons, both practical and written, within the period, but I wish they had given me a little more leeway until I got used to this lifestyle. However, there were no problems with the instructors' teaching methods or attitudes, and they were very kind to me. Once you get used to the rhythm of camp life to a certain extent, the schedule starts to feel more relaxed. So the second half was a lot of fun. I also had time to sightsee in the area.

"The first few days until I got used to driving and camp life were exhausting and I had no time to spare.
The only times I felt comfortable were when I was sleeping and eating, and I started to worry whether I would be able to last until the end.
However, the instructors were very kind and gave me detailed instructions, so I was able to get used to it quickly.
Thanks to this, I was able to graduate in the shortest possible time.
Although it seems like my daily lessons take up most of my life, I actually have a lot of free time.
I was able to make good use of this opportunity to study for my written exams and also enjoy sightseeing to relax.

I was able to graduate safely in the shortest possible time! I was nervous at first, but before I knew it, I was able to drive a car normally. I think this was also due to the instructor's accurate and easy-to-understand instructions. I didn't have much free time during the lessons, but even though I had no driving experience at all, I was able to graduate in about two weeks and get my license right away, so I'm very satisfied. Accommodation and meals were properly managed, so I didn't have any problems or confusion in terms of daily life. The atmosphere of the driving school was very good and the school building was comfortable, so I didn't find the lessons to be a chore.

I took the final exam on the 7th of this month and got my large vehicle license.
Although I was from a rural area during the training camp, the instructor's comments helped me correct some of the bad habits I had and also gave me some applicable advice, which made me very happy as I was able to put it into practice the very next day after returning.
The lessons were conducted in a friendly atmosphere and the 10 days were well-balanced and enjoyable.
We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Sakaki, who was in charge of the majority of the classes despite the favorable weather.
And although he only treated me once, Mr. To◯ said something to me in a harsh tone, which made me really happy.
At an intersection, a large bus jumped over the stop line and came to a stop, and while we were teaching them how to turn, they returned to the facility and showed us an example of their turning technique, and when I returned, I would think, "I see."
I know that everyone has different opinions, but I would say that it is a place where they have great instructors.

I'm in my 30s and I re-applied for my regular driver's license in May.
Since it's a training camp, there are many things that we have to do every day.
But the sooner you do it, the more relaxed you'll be able to be.
There were people of all ages there so it felt like I was at school and I had a really good time.
I think the practical instructors are stricter before the provisional license and final exams, but I think it's for the sake of passing. Otherwise, you'll have to stay longer and it will cost more.

I was nervous about attending alone, but I was able to make friends with a wide range of people, from teenagers to those in their 50s, and we still keep in touch to this day, so I'm grateful.

If I ever need to get another license, I'll definitely ask you again. Thank you for letting me experience youth for the first time in a long time!!

I stayed at Route Inn, but there were convenience stores and supermarkets nearby so I didn't feel any inconvenience, so I recommend it!

Today, I passed the final exam for Heavy Motorcycle and returned to Tokyo.
The hospitality of bread at lunch on the first day, the consideration of the young female office worker for a while,
As for instructors, I'd like to mention one who teaches in an entertaining way, but also knows when to say what to say - Professor Tanimura.
Professor Tanimura also served as the examiner for the graduation exam.
thank you very much.
If you're going to get your driver's license through a training camp, I personally think Hainan Driving School is a good choice👍
There were lots of little considerations that helped a lot.
Thank you for your help, even though it was for a short time.
Thank you very much 😊

The atmosphere at the school was not very good. The staff only dealt with a few students, which was a bit unpleasant. I wish they'd treated everyone equally, since we were all taking the same lessons. As for the instructors, they were very strict, although it may be unavoidable since they had to teach so much in such a short time. Even the smallest mistakes required us to repeat things over and over again. There were also many parts that were a bit difficult to understand. But I was able to graduate within the time frame, so that was good. I was satisfied with the accommodation and food. I was able to take my time and rest my body.

"I had imagined it would be tough, but the schedule was really tough.
If you want to graduate in the shortest possible time, you have to put in a lot of effort.
To be honest, at first the lessons were so hard that I wanted to go home.
The instructor was very strict, so the practical training was very difficult.
The atmosphere at the school is not very good either.
It wasn't an inconvenience, but I couldn't really relax during breaks.
However, the accommodation was very calm and quiet, so it was nice.
The food was tastier and more plentiful than I expected.

Every day was busier than I expected. Basically, you're taking lessons all day long. There's not much time to do extra things. There is free time, but it's over quickly if you study for the theory. So, it didn't feel like a fun driving school life! The accommodation was a proper room, which was good. The food wasn't particularly delicious, but it's not like you can't eat it. I was totally satisfied with the amount!

I used it for one person at a training camp.
We were blessed with good weather and could see Mt. Fuji from the school every day, and the tea fields that we drove through during our driving lessons. I am very satisfied to have had the opportunity to experience something out of the ordinary while getting my driver's license in a place I would never have been able to visit otherwise.
I was impressed that the toilets were new, in contrast to the historic school building. I feel that the overall environment is good when the bathroom is clean.

The quality of the lessons was good, and the female teachers in particular gave the lessons specific examples by incorporating their own experiences.
In preparation for the written exam, students solve mock exams which are set at a higher level of difficulty, and I believe this helps many students pass the exam smoothly.

The quality of the instructors varies, just like in any school.
However, I was very uncomfortable when one of the instructors I was in charge of made racist remarks to the student in front of me. However, after boarding the train, you vote for your ticket as either good, normal, or bad, and in my case, I voted bad, and I never had to deal with that instructor again. I think it's a good system.

The dormitory was Sunrise. It was an old building but it was well-cleaned.

Along the way, I began to open up to my classmates, and my teachers were always calm and supportive when I talked to them about anything.
Overall it's a very homely school!
It became a good memory.

I participated in Driving Camp by myself, but the students there were all good and I was able to make a lot of friends. There were many teachers and instructors who were kind to me, so I was able to do my best.

The training camp was just as I expected. The lessons were a little difficult, but that's what I expected. The instructor may have been trying to make it easier to understand, but the pace was bad, and just when I was starting to get the hang of it, I was confused when he told me to do something different. I'm a little dissatisfied with that. But I was able to graduate in the time I wanted, and I'm glad I was able to pass the actual exam. The accommodation was in a very nice place, and I was able to get plenty of rest, so I was able to concentrate on the lessons and the exam. The food was average. I have no complaints.

"I have no complaints.
The training camp life was exactly what I had imagined.
Since I was taking lessons from morning until evening, it was physically and mentally exhausting until I got used to this lifestyle, but after a week I was completely accustomed to it.
By the second half of the lesson, I felt like I had more time to spare.
So, I was able to hang out with the friends I made here for a little while.
The instructor was very friendly and kind, but he wasn't very good at what he did.
It was a bit frustrating as the same story kept repeating itself over and over again.
But he wasn't a bad person, so it wasn't like the lessons were difficult.
The accommodation wasn't that spacious, but it was enough to relax.

If your only goal is to get your license in a short time, I don't think there's any problem. But if you want to live a fun and fulfilling life! Make friends! I don't recommend it. There's no time to spare, and the lessons are tough, so there's no time to play. You have free time, but if you have to study for the written exam, you don't have any free time. The accommodations may be enough to relieve your fatigue, but they're not relaxing. So, I think it's good for people who don't have high expectations of camp life.

"Maybe it was because there were a lot of students at the time, but the school was noisy and I can't say I was able to take lessons comfortably.
The instructor seemed irritated throughout the whole lesson, and the practical training was especially bad.
After the first few days, I wanted to give up and go home.
Also, the instructors and staff generally seemed to be kind to some students but not others, which was unfair.
It's unfortunate that I can't say that the accommodation, food, and other aspects of life were very comfortable.
I never want to use this school again.
The only good thing about it was that it was short.

Mr. C (20 years old) Regular Automatic (March)

Honestly, I'm not full of complaints. First of all, the instructors are really unpleasant, and I'm not just talking about being strict. The explanations were hard to understand, and because of that, there were a few times when I made a mistake and was scolded, which was unfair. The staff were also unfriendly. It seemed like there weren't enough people, so I couldn't even get the explanations I needed, and I had a lot of trouble. The accommodations are also small. I don't think I'd be able to live there comfortably unless I could secure a bit more space for myself. It's not that I can't eat, but I get bored of it quickly.
