I went to a training camp and I thought it was really good. It wasn't a packed schedule so it was fun!
I recommend it.

Today I graduated from Hamanako Driving School.
It says that the school rules are strict, but in reality they're not that strict. I thought that my hair colour was a little light and might have been on the borderline against the school rules, but I wasn't given any warning. In fact, I think it's not entirely wrong to say that "people who can't follow the rules can't follow the driving rules either."
It's true that there were a few instructors who I found a little scary, but I think the reason they seemed a little overbearing was because they had to speak up firmly, as they feared that driving incorrectly could one day take someone's life.
I think I've seen some reviews saying that instructors intentionally fail the tests, but even if they allow people who think they can drive to pass, there is still a good chance that they will end up in an accident, so I think it's only natural that they are graded strictly.
In fact, I passed the automatic vehicle Final Driving Test in just two weeks. If you study hard every day, I think it's not impossible to pass the difficult paper tests before the provisional license and final exam.
Although some of the instructors were a little scary, most were friendly and I felt it was a comfortable learning environment.
Although I wasn't able to make many friends, I still recommend Hamain as it is a good Driving School for getting Driving Camp camp.

I went with friends for a training camp.
Before going, my friends and I were nervous about the bad reviews, but it was far from what we had heard. There were many different instructors, but no one yelled or said anything nasty.
On the contrary, many people were joking around and made us feel at ease. Of course, there were some instructors who gave us harsh criticism, but they were strict within the scope of their instruction. In the initial explanation, we were told that "many people extend their stay," but most people were able to graduate in 14 days. (I'm an AT.)
There are quite a few restaurants around Hama Inn. Hama Mansion, where women live, only has pots and plates, so few people cook for themselves. Convenience stores are a little far away.
By the way, Hamain is equipped with Wi-Fi. I noticed it on the last day…
It was a hectic two weeks, but it was a wonderful memory.

I enrolled in the training camp for regular manual transmission vehicles.
First, about Driving Lessons. On the second day, I had a strict instructor, and since it was my first time driving, I couldn't do it well, and I was under a lot of pressure to extend my stay, so I was pretty depressed. However, from the third day onwards, all the instructors were able to teach me driving tips and my problems in an easy-to-understand way, so I was able to calmly practice driving.

You have to pass two paper tests before you get your provisional license and before you get your final exam, but you can study the theory any time you don't have Driving Lessons, so if you study properly you can pass with ease. I recommend solving the problem books in the small room on the second floor to prepare for the paper tests.

I enrolled alone, but there were many times when I found it mentally tough, so I recommend that people who are going to enroll in the school go with friends. Of course, I made some friends at the school, so I wasn't completely alone.

After I got my provisional license, I felt much more at ease and was able to enjoy the driving lessons. I was very nervous about the final exam, but if I stayed calm and did what I was taught, I was sure to pass.

It was a very tough two weeks, but I managed to graduate safely and on time. Thank you very much to everyone at Hamanako Driving School.

What I recommend about Hamanako Driving School is its high performance relative to cost. Although the training camp fee is low compared to other schools, the quality of the instructors and office staff is high, and I thought it was great that if you took Musashi and the paper test at Lake Hamana, you would feel that the main course was friendly.

At the beginning of September
I went to get my automatic transmission license at a training camp ☺︎

Because the reviews weren't very good
I was a little worried
The instructors weren't rude at all.
More than anything, they were all nice people lol

Whether you get along with your instructor or not
I think there is no way around it.
In my personal opinion
Everyone is friendly and kind
It was very easy to talk to him.
I made a lot of friends and it was a fun two weeks☺︎♡

If I could drive better
I think I'll go and meet the instructors.

Regarding WiFi,
You can now connect in the driving school lobby!
Because the accommodation is not equipped
It's a bit inconvenient (..)

I didn't think the rice was particularly bad.
The menu is on a rotation system
You might get bored of it!

I'm in a space with strangers
Because I don't like eating rice
Other than dinner that can be eaten in the room
I could hardly eat it lol

But in the end,
I think it's important to see it with your own eyes.
Use the reviews as a reference only! Don't take them at face value!
Please have a great time these two weeks☺︎
I had so much fun!

The unfortunate thing is that you can't compete with the instructors based on skill.
I guess it's because we didn't have many chances to talk.
If you want to talk more
There were a lot of people I wanted to be friends with.
I'm a little disappointed (._.)

The teachers and the other students were very kind to me and I felt at ease! I went to a training camp and had a lot of fun!
I don't think it's the kind of place that has reviews! The instructor was a bit quirky, but it was fun.🤣The training camp ended in a flash.😭

I was quite nervous about enrolling after reading the reviews, but I was able to graduate safely.

During the lessons, everyone carefully taught me my good and bad points, so I was able to practice with peace of mind. Some were a little unfriendly, and some were busy giving advice during the lesson. But I was never unreasonably scolded or insulted.

The schedule is very tight at the camp, so you won't be able to graduate unless you work hard. Since the department is online, I recommend going with friends if you are not good at planning ahead.

The facilities and cars are honestly shabby, but I think they have everything you need, such as WiFi, desks, and power outlets. The vending machines had a wide variety of drinks and food, and they were cheap, which was nice. The neighboring Kyorindo also had a good selection and had almost everything you needed. During busy periods, there were not enough desks for studying on the lower floors, so it was saturated.

Overall: Although you have to put in some effort, it was cheap, they taught me properly and I was able to get it quickly, so it was good.
