It's super retro, isn't it? I didn't have high expectations because I decided on the price, but I love this kind of atmosphere. I had a good time. The instructor looked scary, but once you get used to it, he's not scary at all. I felt like he was actually a good teacher. He scolded me quite a bit, but I guess that's because he didn't want me to drive in a way that would cause an accident. He was actually nicer than the teachers at my high school. Anyway, I got my license properly, so I have no complaints.

The main point was the price. A driver's license is expensive. As someone who doesn't know much, the prices offered by other schools are out of my reach. In comparison, Century Motor School was very reasonable. Accommodation and meals are also reasonable for this price. I had imagined it would be much more rundown, so I was disappointed when I visited. I was a little dissatisfied with the instructor, but it changes depending on the day, so it's not a problem as long as you don't get a bad one. If you get a good one, they will teach you very carefully, which is why I gave it this rating. I definitely recommend it to people who want to get a license but can't spend a lot of money.

"Some people say bad things about the instructors, but I don't think that's the case.
Driving a car is risky.
Of course, one mistake can lead to a major accident.
That's why I think the instructors here are a little stricter in their instruction.
It's true that they may be a little unfriendly, but it depends on the person, and in my case, we sometimes chatted and had fun.
I don't think he was nice to me because I was a woman.
This is a recommended driving school for those who want to receive thorough instruction without focusing too much on negative reviews.

The school building has a certain charm. I don't experience this kind of atmosphere where I usually live, so it was a good experience. Shizuoka prefecture itself is a beautiful place, so that's another fond memory. The portions and flavors of the food were just right for me. I usually live alone, so just being able to eat a proper meal is quite satisfying. By the way, I still keep in contact with the boy I became friends with at school. We live quite far away, but we follow each other on social media. We're planning a reunion trip soon. Of course, we'll meet up in Shizuoka!

"It's a pretty nice place.
Some people may have some complaints, but for someone like me it was just right.
Well, this story has nothing to do with school.
Shizuoka is a really great place.
It seems like it was worth coming just to be able to sightsee here.
By the way, I happened to become friends with some people my age and we went sightseeing together.
It may be that such encounters are possible only at a driving Driving Camp.

To be honest, my first impression was pretty bad... Is it okay to come to a place like this? I felt like that. But as you get used to it, it becomes more comfortable. The accommodations and school buildings also have a certain charm. Well, this is just my personal opinion, so I can't really comment. But, if you get along with people from other prefectures, Driving Camp is a lot of fun. Especially when I interacted with people from Kansai, I thought that it was the home of comedy. I laughed every day. I'm planning to go to Osaka to see him soon. By the way, there is a delicious menu at a nearby cafe. Please visit it.

I enrolled to get a manual, which is rare these days. After all, a man should have a manual! That's one thing, but I actually use it for work. Automatic seems easy and nice. However, it wasn't that hard because it was a manual, and the instructor explained it well, so it was no problem. Also, the accommodation was a bit old, but the room where I stayed was fine. It was pretty clean. The food was to my liking and I was satisfied.

"Maybe it's just me, but I felt quite comfortable at this school.
It wasn't a noisy or crowded place, so I was able to concentrate fully on getting my license.
The timing might have been good too.
The image I had in mind was that a large group of students would come and bring their friends.
This time nothing like that happened, and I was able to quietly and diligently devote myself to my studies.
However, I wish they would try a little harder with the accommodation and food.
It's not that it's dirty or tastes bad.
I feel a little lonely because I eat it every day.
There are restaurants just a short distance away, so I can go there when I get bored.
But again, it's not a bad school.

The accommodation and food were a bit disappointing! Well, maybe it just didn't suit me. But the staff and instructors were so helpful that it more than made up for that. I was a bit worried when I looked up reviews beforehand. There were a lot of bad things written there. But maybe it was because I had a good teacher. They were very kind and taught me carefully. That gave me a lot of confidence. And I was able to get my license without any problems. But as I wrote at the beginning, I think the accommodation and food are not for everyone. It's hard to say anything about this until you enroll. It just wasn't for me!

Surrounded by the nature of Shizuoka, you can concentrate and get Driving Camp. In terms of achieving that goal, this school has no problems. You can see scenery you don't usually see, sightseeing is fun, and there's nothing to complain about. The accommodation may be a little dirty, but if you're a man, it probably doesn't bother you much. In fact, it's clean and tidy compared to the rooms of men who live alone. I myself live in a messy room. Compared to that, it was a good place. However, the food may be a little questionable. Some people may find the lunch box delicious, but it didn't suit my taste. And about the instructors. This depends on the day. If you get a good instructor, it's quite fun and educational. If you get a bad instructor... I'll leave that to your imagination. However, I was never yelled at or subjected to power harassment. All the instructors teach the basics properly.

"My personal impression is that it's an average driving school.
Some people may say that the accommodation is old, but it's not a problem as long as it lasts, and best of all, it's the price.
I think that's enough.
Also, I was quite satisfied with the teaching method.
However, in my case, I studied on my own and was good at absorbing the practical parts (it's a bit embarrassing to say it myself), so I wasn't scolded very often, so that may be the reason.
By the way, since I usually live in Shizuoka, I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to do anything like "sightseeing during the training camp."
Maybe I should have gone to a school a little further away.

Anyway, I'm glad I got my license! I was quite nervous, but I managed to pass. I may have caused a lot of trouble for the instructor. But I knew I couldn't get my license until this timing, so I'm glad I was able to concentrate and do it.

"Very normal.
I don't really have any particular thoughts to share, but I enrolled with friends, so I had a pretty good time.
I'm sure my friends feel the same way.
However, I thought I should have done a little more sightseeing in Shizuoka.
Because I spent my days off hanging out with my friends at the dorm.
Well, I guess you could say it's a good memory.

I went to the driving school with three friends from Osaka. First of all, the instructors were very unique and interesting. By the time we graduated, we had become very good friends.
After,
There is a ramen shop.
There is an eel restaurant.
There is a delicious yakiniku restaurant.
There is a hot spring.
There are encounters.
On days when your lessons finish in the morning, we recommend going to karaoke or an outlet mall.
We also recommend trying your courage in the men's dormitory.

It became a precious memory that I will never forget. Thank you so much!

Instructors are assigned numbers. Some are good, but others are not. I was nervous every morning because I didn't know who my instructor would be until the day of the class. It was especially tough when I got a bad instructor, and I almost gave up. I can't say for sure, as it depends on whether you like it or not. The accommodation is old and women might not be suitable. You can use some electrical appliances, so it was fine for a place to stay. The meals are prepared by a nutritionist, but the amount is small and the taste is so-so. I ate udon noodles at a Japanese restaurant next to the driving school several times. There were some bad points, but there were also some things that made me glad I came here. For example, being able to do some sightseeing in Shizuoka is a good memory.

"I chose this place because it was cheap, but I wish I had spent a little more and gone somewhere better.
The driving school is old and has a Showa-era feel to it.
Instructors also have a hard time because their teaching methods vary depending on the person.
Maybe it's okay for some people? It just didn't suit me.
The accommodation is very old.
At first I thought I would just need to sleep, but after a few days it became painful.
All meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) will be provided by the car.
The bento boxes and instant miso soup all look similar, so you get tired of them after a few days.
Even going to a convenience store is difficult because it's so far away.
Thanks to this, I have been on a good diet.
That might have been a good thing about going there (laughs)."

The service at this driving school is really awful! I don't recommend it at all.
The instructor had a bad attitude, was unfriendly during the lesson, and did not teach me driving skills properly. The most disappointing thing was that the food at the driving school was very bad, monotonous, tasteless, and inedible.
The accommodation is also very bad, the rooms are dirty and don't look like they've been cleaned.
The overall experience was very bad and a waste of money.

My daughter was very well looked after at the training camp. As I was listening to her talk about the camp, there was something that really caught my attention, so I would like to post about it.
Is it true that the students in the training camp always take the first bus to school in the morning to check the class schedule for the day? And it seems that it is impossible to go back to the dormitory immediately after that. What does that mean? Isn't it the same as saying, "Wait at the store from 8 am for a reservation at 5 pm or 6 pm"? What do you think each person's time is? Time is not infinite. Surely there are things you can do and want to do with that time? I would like you to think about it for a moment.
I hear that commuter students have a schedule in advance. If that's the case, they should be treated equally by saying, "Commuter students, please come first thing in the morning and wait."
My daughter consulted with several teachers during her lessons. It seems that many teachers, like the students, felt that something was wrong, but since they are a group, it seems that one school cannot take special measures. I understand this as a system. But who is this system for? I think that as long as they are receiving money from the students, they should provide an environment that is as good as possible for the students.
Some people say, "Watch the online class and wait." It's online, right? You can't only watch it on the school's computer, right? Is there a reason you have to watch it at school? I think it would be better to listen to it in a relaxed atmosphere in your favorite place.
And I think it would be better for students who are not used to driving and get nervous just by driving a car to be aware of the stress of waiting for hours in an unrelaxing environment, and then the dangerous environment of driving afterwards. It would be a different story if the school policy was that it would be better for them to practice driving in a dangerous environment.
It seems that you are making new efforts recently, such as renovating the dorms. When you buy new things, they become new quickly, but systems and people don't change quickly. I think it will be a long-term battle. I think it's something that you should know as a manager, but I hope that you will take another look at the current situation and come up with new measures.

You should definitely not come. The lessons themselves are mostly fine, but the boys' accommodation is in such a bad state.
Also, the food that is handed out is not what you would call delicious, even as a compliment.
