Maggio Drivers School Atami School

I enrolled in the training camp course. I felt that I was able to acquire practical driving skills because of the many slopes in Atami. The teachers were also fun and polite in teaching, and the atmosphere was good.
Although there are no convenience stores or other facilities nearby, there are plenty of services available, such as a free bus transfer between the driving school and Atami Station, and events.
The men's dormitory is a little old, but the facilities are well managed, and it's right in front of the driving school, so there's less worry about oversleeping.

Thank you for your support during the two weeks of training camp!
Because I am Chinese, I was very nervous about the driving school at first, but I started school at the same time as other Chinese people and we became friends. The bus drivers, teachers, and everyone were kind and funny, and taught me carefully, so the atmosphere was good. There are many steep slopes around the school, so I think it was good practice.
It was a very fun driving training camp!

I received Driving Camp through a driving school course, and even though it was a short period of time, I was able to learn the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitude for safe driving. The staff were kind and enthusiastic, and even though I was a student, I was able to drive around the mountains and the sea every day, which was a perfect environment. The girls' dormitory was also comfortable, and I can confidently recommend this wonderful school to anyone.

I enrolled in Magio Drivers School Atami branch for a training camp in June!
At first, I was really nervous about the camp, but my fellow campmates and teachers were so kind and I am so grateful.
The teachers were all very kind, funny, and explained things carefully☺️
I failed the written and practical exams several times and had to extend my stay, but the words of encouragement from the people around me helped me to persevere and keep working hard every day!

And the teacher on the shuttle bus! He would call out to me when we passed each other, carefully explain things I didn't understand in my studies, and always looked out for me. It was fun talking with him on the bus on the way home, and he always gave me a lot of energy✨
Getting a license is hard, and you may struggle, and you may even give up along the way, but I think there are some good things about it, so don't give up, and to those who are currently working hard to get their license, or who are thinking about doing so, keep up the good work!
I'm sure it will be absolutely fine!!
I'm really glad that I went to the Magio Drivers School Atami branch, and it was a lot of fun!
And thanks to everyone's support, I was able to pass the full license exam 🌸 (I actually wanted to tell my teacher that I passed too 😢
Thank you so much for all your help!!
thank you

"At the Driving Camp school camp on the highway, a girl who was attending with me said that she was also attending the driving school alone, and hadn't made any friends yet. We only enjoyed small talk, but I really regret that I missed the chance to become friends with her because I didn't have the courage to do so. In the end, I regret not being able to ask for her contact information, and although I did learn her first name, it was a shame that it ended there. But it was a good memory."

It was a great experience to take lessons in such a comfortable environment in such a wonderful location.
The instructors and office staff are very kind.
It was a caring driving school that understood the situation of each student. I wanted to stay here for a long time.

I was taken care of at the training camp. The teachers and reception staff were all very kind, and I can really recommend this school with confidence. Below I have summarized the recommended points and points to note.

[Recommended points]

①Hospitality
The teachers and receptionists are all very kind. Perhaps because there are not many people around at this time, the explanations were thorough and easy to understand. They are happy to answer any questions. They are also very flexible in dealing with any problems that arise, so I feel at ease.

②View from the school building
The school is on a hilltop, so you can see the spectacular view of Hatsushima Island and the sea. The sea sparkles especially in the morning, which is very emotional. The view is so beautiful that you should be careful not to look away while driving.

3) Located in a tourist area and has high reviews
You can get Driving Camp at a driving school in a variety of places, but there aren't many places in the country that are in tourist areas that are also highly rated (according to my research). I decided on this place because it has a lot of reviews and consistently high scores, probably because they appeal to students through Google reviews and SNS (there are many notices in the toilets).

[Points to note]

①Effectiveness test of provisional license
Especially for those who are in the training camp, you need to be careful not to skip the practice of the effectiveness test because Atami is too attractive. You can't solve the problems without studying. The beginning is crucial, so it's better to try solving the effectiveness test in your spare time from the first day and make a lot of mistakes. There is little time to spare.
In particular, the accommodation is located in the center of Atami, so there are many temptations. Therefore, I think it is better to take the bus that comes to school earlier than the lecture time, or to stay after class and study in the private room.

②Route to Atami Station (as of July 2021)
As of July 2021, it takes about 20-30 minutes to get to Atami Station, as it is a detour route due to the landslide. It is a beautiful street called Beach Line, where you can see the scenery in the second photo, but it is slow because you have to drive slowly. I think that it will be closer after reconstruction and this street will no longer be used, but those who are coming from now on should be prepared. It is a mountain road, so you will get car sick.

③School facilities and surrounding areas
The dormitory is nice, but there are no convenience stores or other shops nearby. There are vending machines in the dormitory where you can buy snacks, drinks, and cup noodles. At the training camp, bento boxes are served for lunch.

④About the accommodation
Since the accommodation is a guesthouse, there are no towels. There is nothing except shampoo and body soap, but the place is clean and the rooms are spacious, so it is comfortable. However, the Wi-Fi connection is weak in the rooms, so it may be better to watch videos or hold phone calls in the lobby. (It may be difficult to do if there are other people there.)

Atami has a lot of hills, so it was difficult at first, but there were many kind instructors who taught me kindly, so I realized that my driving skills have improved! The receptionist was also nice👍

It's a really great place!!! I haven't experienced other driving schools so I don't know, but it was a really great place!
The receptionists and instructors are all very kind and friendly, and it's a lot of fun.
If I had to complain, it would be that the men's dormitory was dirty and the simulation machines were old...
But there are so many other good things that you can forgive those bad things!

I was very nervous before coming to the training camp, but the instructors were very friendly and gave me gentle, clear instructions.
I had a very fulfilling two weeks.
I was worried about whether I would be able to learn a lot in such a short period of time, but the teaching method was very easy to understand and I was able to study thoroughly.

Thank you for your help with Driving Camp.
This has gotten long, so to summarise, I feel that it was a very good driving school.
Details are as follows.

First of all, the location of the driving school is on a slope. The inside of the school is quite normal, but the road in front of the school suddenly becomes a steep slope, so you have to be very careful when taking lessons on the road. It is especially scary when passing other cars.

The instructors were very kind to me. They didn't just praise me, they also taught me exactly what I needed to know. They were all really good people. I think the instructors are all really good. They also gave me solid instruction in the theory, which made it easy to understand.
Almost everyone who attended at the same time passed the exam in the shortest time possible without failing or being dropped.

Finally, the accommodation and meals were like a normal Driving Camp. I stayed in the men's dormitory, and the room was neither new nor old, and I was satisfied with the cleanliness. I guess it will be a concern for those who are concerned. For breakfast, I had bread and rice balls from Seven-Eleven, and for lunch and dinner, I had a bento from a bento shop. It was neither good nor bad.
The bath was a unit bath. I recommend using your free time wisely to visit hot springs near Atami and Yugawara.

The instructors were kind and taught us in a fun way, so I had a lot of fun going to the training camp! I also enjoyed a lot of sightseeing. Atami was great.

It's a training camp.
Anyway it was fun!
Very easy to understand explanations and study room
Ease of use for effect measurement
You can study at your own convenience.
There is a space that can be used in your free time.
it was very helpful!
I'm glad I passed the exam.
