I applied for a training camp in order to get my medium-sized motorcycle license. I came here with a lighthearted mindset, but it was a difficult study, but the kindness of the teachers saved me from the rigor of studying. Thank you very much for your help. Also, the nature around the driving school is beautiful, and you can rent bicycles for free, so it's fun, so I recommend this driving school.

We have three boys!
At first, I was scared of some of the instructors, but I was able to become friends with them, receive proper instruction, and demonstrate my abilities! It was great!

The instructors and receptionists are all kind. They are really kind and I felt like I could talk to anyone. At the reception, there was a guy who looked like Hamaya from Kamaitachi, and the instructors around numbers 39, 133, 146, 145, and 130 were particularly easy to talk to and popular. It's a rural area and there's nothing around, but there are buses to supermarkets and convenience stores every day, so you can go out to do some shopping. The air is also fresh. I stayed in a deluxe twin room, so it was very clean and comfortable, and the cleanliness was so good that I was motivated. The shampoo and conditioner were cheap and not squeaky, so I'm glad I didn't bring them! I thought. There are gel balls for laundry, but there is no fabric softener, so your laundry is hard and dry! (lol) If you are concerned about this, you might want to bring your own fabric softener. Also, there is only a small drink bar at the driving school, so you can either bring your own bottled drinks or go buy some on the way. Lunch boxes are provided for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I probably wouldn't recommend this to people who are picky eaters or who want to eat a hearty meal, but the menu was nutritious, varied, and delicious.

I have some stray cats, and I'm worried about them, especially the kittens, because they're so thin. If they continue like this, they'll just keep multiplying, so I'd like to get them neutered and spayed so they can become community cats.
If I send them food, will they be able to give it to me? I think it might be a good idea to ask for donations. I'm very worried because there are so many of them. I hope you'll consider doing something to help the cats live a happy life.

I took regular motorcycle driving lessons at a training camp!
The instructors and receptionists were all very polite and helpful, making it very easy to follow.
The only downside is that it's a little far from the station, but there is a free shuttle bus, so I recommend it.
It was a very good experience for me during these 10 days. Thank you very much.

I went with two friends.
The lessons are easy to understand and the instructors are all nice.
When I checked the reviews and reputation of driving schools, I was worried because there were a lot of comments about the instructors being scary or having bad attitudes, but that's not the case here at all.
All the people taking the class with me seemed to be satisfied with their instructor.
The meal was a bento lunch, but it was very delicious.
The seasoning was similar every day, but the menu had a wide variety so I never got bored and the food was always delicious.
The accommodation was a deluxe twin room. It was really clean, well equipped, and had good security.
So, it is a driving school that women can use with confidence. I think the deluxe level is better even if it is a little more expensive.

I used it for a training camp, and it exceeded my expectations in a good way.
Anyway, the dorm (environment aside) was so clean that I wanted to live there myself.
As for the environment, there are no convenience stores nearby, which is really inconvenient. (There are plenty of home appliances, so I think it's fine to bring what you need in advance.)
For people who like alcohol, the ban on drinking is a tough one.

The teachers at the school taught me with enthusiasm. I made a lot of friends and had a really fun two weeks! Some people may not be able to eat rice because it is a lunch box every day! The stray cats were also really cute.😍

The instructors were generally very kind and their teaching methods were easy to understand.
There are smoking areas outside the school, so smokers can feel safe.
Although the teaching methods may differ from person to person, the basics are generally the same.
Dormitories vary in whether they have separate smoking or non-smoking areas, but there is a smoking area outside so it doesn't matter which dormitory you stay in.
I thought that West Compote might be a better choice for people who don't like unit baths.

I stayed here for 9 days with a normal motorcycle license. There's no convenience store nearby, so I'm satisfied! ! thank you very much!

I graduated on January 26, 2013. I was very relieved by the reception and the polite response from the instructors! If you are having trouble choosing a driving school, we highly recommend this place!

Mr. EU (20 years old) Semi-medium size (February)

I took the semi-medium class on Driving Camp and graduated on February 24th. Anyway, the dormitory was cleaner than I expected and the food was perfect, so if you don't have enough food, you might want to buy some food at a nearby supermarket. The subjects and skills are easy to learn, so I highly recommend them.👍

thank you for helping me. All the instructors taught me carefully and I was able to learn smoothly by teaching at my own pace! The instructor who called 119 was especially happy to teach me enthusiastically and give me words of encouragement! The instructors at the time of my graduation exam also gave me advice, which helped me gain confidence! ! thank you very much!

I came from Tokyo. At first, I was busy, didn't know what to do, and it was a long stay, so I was just anxious. But as I took classes and rode in cars with the students, I made some friends and was able to graduate with a smile in the end! I was able to make friends with both the locals and the students who came from far away.
Some teachers are scary, while others are kind.
Even if you're worried about coming alone, why not be brave and take the first step!
Kazusa, it was a very good school for me. Thank you very much to everyone.

First of all, the atmosphere of the school was great.
The surrounding area had the feel of an old castle town, neither too urban nor too rural.
I have always longed to live in a town with this kind of atmosphere, so I was incredibly excited when I arrived.
Although the lesson schedule was tight, I had a lot of free time.
So I had a great time with the friends I made here.
Even though I had a lot of free time, I was able to take lessons every day, so I was able to graduate within the scheduled period.
The accommodation wasn't a dedicated training camp, but more like an apartment.
It was quite spacious, and the surrounding environment was nice, so I was able to relax.
After considering it from various angles, I believe I was able to choose a really good driving school.

Most of the teachers are kind. The station, convenience stores, and supermarkets are far away, so you have to take Free Shuttle Bus from the driving school. There is nothing at the station. If you want to go to Oedo Onsen, you can also take the same shuttle bus. That's about all the entertainment. Lunch boxes are provided for every meal. There aren't many vegetables, but the taste is good. There is a curfew at the dormitory, and you will be quite angry if you don't return by 10 p.m. In the first place, there are no stores open at 10 p.m.
There are many opportunities to make friends with teachers and classmates, so it's fun when relationships go well. The kindness of the people is the best thing about this place. It was fun.

[Accommodation]
・Although WiFi is available, there are many residents so the connection tends to be heavy at night. It's fine for normal internet browsing, but it may not be enough for watching videos or playing games.

・I stayed in a single room, but the room was quite spacious. It was equipped with a TV, refrigerator, bed, safe, unit bath, built-in desk, and two folding desks. I don't know what the double rooms are like, but I think you'll be able to stay there comfortably. The soundproofing means you can't hear the noise or voices of your neighbors, but there is some sound leakage from outside the room, so be careful about the volume and voice volume.

・The unit bath only has a toilet brush, but no detergent or deodorant. You can either bring your own in advance, or buy them at a large pharmacy near the station, or you can use the toilets at the driving school, which are equipped with washlets. I bought everything at the pharmacy.

・Smoking areas are located outside the dormitory. Please be aware that smoking is not permitted after 10pm.

【meal】
・You will be provided with lunch boxes for all meals. They will be left out at set times, so be careful not to forget to pick them up.

[Surrounding area]
・Because it is in the mountains, the nearest convenience store is 2km away... quite far away. If you want to go to a convenience store or a small supermarket, you can rent a bicycle or take the bus, whichever you prefer. However, if you go by bicycle, the uphill climb on the way back is tough, so please consider your physical strength.

・There is one private house near the driving school, and there are three vending machines lined up there.

[Driving school]
・The facility is quite old. There is construction going on soon.

・There are quite a few classrooms, but the department only uses classrooms 1 and 2. The other classrooms are generally not used except during exams.

・Classroom 1 has a large TV, so it's easy to watch the instructional videos. The desks and chairs are like those you used in elementary and junior high school.

・The second classroom is spacious, but the TV is very small, so if you have poor eyesight, it is best to sit near the front. The desks and chairs are conference tables with metal chairs.

・The driving simulator used in the first stage is made in the Showa era, so the video stops and the speed goes too fast. I wonder if there's anything I can do about it. Well, you can get the basic operation, so don't rush and do your best.

・The simulator used in the second stage is new, but it is designed for automatic transmissions, so manual transmission drivers may be a little confused. Also, be careful as your sense of balance may be slightly disturbed.

[Instructor]
・I get the impression that most of the students are over 50 years old. As far as I know, there are only two of them. There are also female instructors, but I didn't meet them except during the academic department.

・Each instructor has a different teaching style. Some instructors teach each movement in detail, while others teach in a general way. It all comes down to compatibility.

・There are some instructors who are overbearing. I only had this happen to me once, but I've seen some people who have been hit by it many times and are feeling down. I think if you tell the receptionist, they will probably make arrangements to ensure that you are not assigned to that instructor.

・The course will basically be taught by video. The instructor will use videos and PowerPoints, and occasionally supplement with textbooks. However, both the first and second basic levels can be completed in about three days, so exam preparation is self-study. I recommend using your free time to progress through "Perfect Points" or install a study app to study.

・The practical training will involve following the instructor's instructions. The second stage is mainly outdoor training, with turning and parallel parking only done twice at the end.

【comprehensive evaluation】
Basically, I think you will have a comfortable stay! Good luck until you get your driver's license!!!

The instructors were all really nice and I really enjoyed the driving time! I had fun every day for about two weeks! Thank you for all your help. I'd like to come here again when I come to get my license again!

I had fun taking lessons!
I was staying at a place called Leopalace, and there was only one shuttle bus a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, so it was difficult to get home before the time was up, but when I had free time during the day, I could take a walk to Kururi Station, which was fun.

All the instructors were very enthusiastic and taught me well, and I was able to spend two very meaningful weeks. Every day was so enjoyable that I almost felt sad to graduate!
thank you very much!

I went with two friends!
I was able to become very close with both boys and girls and have a lot of memories! I had some complaints about the facility, but I think it's up to the individual whether they enjoy it or not!
Many people came alone, and I was able to make friends regardless of age, gender, or nationality.🎶
When I met a scary old teacher, everyone comforted me.
In my free time, I enjoyed running along the rice paddy paths.
There are free shuttle buses to supermarkets and convenience stores, but they are not too far to walk to, so if the weather is nice, I recommend walking there to refresh your mind.🎵

Two women applied for a driver's license training camp. There were many foreigners at the school, so it was lively and had an international feel. The accommodation we stayed in had just been completed and was very clean and comfortable. I was nervous at first, but the teacher was kind and the receptionist was friendly and nice. There wasn't much in the area, but there were vendors who came every day to sell sweets, etc., so life was fun. It was generally good and I have good memories.

Used at a training camp to get a motorcycle license at the end of October.
It is a deluxe single room, probably a 1LDK layout.
We get three bento meals a day and the driving school is just a minute's walk away.
Basically everything you need to live is provided, but here are some things you should bring to make your life more comfortable:
・ Spare bath towels and hand towels
・Fabric softener and Wide Haiter
・Toothpaste
・People with big appetites eat rice and instant noodles.
Please refer to the photos for the room facilities.
There is a freezer and a rice cooker, so if you don't mind, feel free to use them.
There is nothing nearby, so if you don't have a car, it's a good idea to bring some drinks and snacks with you.
If you are sensitive to smells, don't forget to use Febreze.
There is nothing around so it is comfortable for those who have a car, but difficult for those who don't.
Accommodations rated on a 10-point scale
★★★★★★★★☆
I'm grateful for the gel balls. Overall it's comfortable.
Next, regarding the driving school, the building is very old and appears to have been used since the end of the war.
The only instructors I got right were 119, 139, and 145, and although 139 was speaking broken Japanese and I couldn't really understand what he was saying, the other two were really nice.
It was helpful that the lessons were scheduled consecutively.
I have obtained various licenses in various places, but this place is not strict so I recommend it even for those who are not confident.
Because the tough parts are tough.

I'm glad my best friend told me about it. It's a good school.
It's great that it's an online course so you can do it from home.

I feel like I was able to get into a really good driving school.
I came to the training camp during my summer holidays from university, and the surrounding environment was so nice that it felt like I was at a resort.
Although I still had to take lessons every day, I still had days off, so I still had time to enjoy a little sightseeing.
I also made some friends here, so being able to take lessons together was a good thing.
I was able to get my driver's license safely during the summer vacation.
I was considering commuting to a school, but I'm glad I went to a training camp.

The lodging and meals were very comfortable. That part was very nice. The instructors were kind and the atmosphere was great.I have nothing to say about it. However, the most enjoyable part was the food. It's just a normal bento, but the seasoning was perfect to my taste and I was happy. There was a good amount of food, so I never felt hungry during the lessons.

Mr. W (20 years old) Regular Automatic (August)

I was surprised that there were so many trainees from the first day, probably because it is a popular driving school. However, with Driving Camp, the training schedule is determined from the beginning, so there is no problem at all even during the busy season. I was able to complete my lessons as scheduled and successfully graduate. This is a unique charm of Driving Camp. The meal was a bento box, and I was a little disappointed at first, but when I actually tried it, the taste was outstanding. It looked like something from a specialty bento shop, and I now look forward to it every day. The accommodation is an apartment. It's not very spacious, but it's extremely comfortable. I was able to sleep soundly at night. I think this is Driving Camp that can be highly evaluated overall.

I never imagined that I would be participating in Driving Camp after becoming a member of society. However, due to family circumstances, I needed a driver's license, and I didn't have much time, so I attended a training camp. I was worried that there would be only students around, but surprisingly that wasn't the case. There were many adult trainees, so I was able to fit in quickly. The accommodation was clean and the food was delicious, even though it was a boxed lunch, so I have no complaints at all. Everything is a fond memory now.

I'm really glad I chose Driving Camp. Due to work circumstances, I had to get my license in a hurry. At first, I thought about going to school while working, but considering that I could only attend classes in the evenings, it was obvious that it would take a lot of time. So, I decided to take a break and attend a training camp. Due to my work commitments, I was worried about what would happen if I couldn't graduate within the time limit, but I was able to take lessons every day, so I was able to graduate within the time limit. The driving school was in a very peaceful location, so it was a good opportunity to forget about my daily work and refresh myself. I'm really glad I chose this driving school.

My first impression of the instructor was terrible.
I thought he was a very scary person.
However, once I actually started taking lessons, I realized that although he had a bit of a rough mouth, he was a kind instructor.
I am very satisfied with the accommodation and food.
I never expected to have such a comfortable stay and eat such delicious food at the training camp, so it was a pleasant surprise.
The surroundings were nice and it was comfortable and fun.

The lodgings were quite comfortable. It felt like a normal apartment, but I was surprised because I was imagining a more cramped place like the training camp I used when I was a student. Meals are provided, so you don't have to prepare your own. I thought it would be okay to cook my own meals, but it would be nice if you could prepare everything so I could concentrate on my lessons. There are many sightseeing spots in the surrounding area, and I enjoyed leisurely strolling around on my days off.

I imagined that I would have to study every day and have no free time at all, but that's not actually the case. There was even enough time to go sightseeing around the area. I had a lot of free time outside of holidays, so I was able to take a break. The atmosphere at the driving school isn't too bad either. The staff were kind. However, there were so many people that I sometimes felt a bit uncomfortable. The instructors were also approachable and friendly. Well, the lessons were a little difficult, so I had a little hard time.

Mr. U (20 years old) Regular Motorcycle MT (September)

The lessons were difficult. However, the motorcycle instructor was very kind and took his time to teach me, so I was able to steadily grow. Although I sometimes felt bored during the academic lectures, I was able to pass the academic exams, so I think I was able to master the subject. The dormitory was spacious and comfortable. The food was well prepared and delicious.

The time I spent here really flew by. I was busy with lessons every day, and before I knew it, I was already graduating. Since it was my first time driving, there were a lot of difficult things, but thanks to the instructor's careful teaching, I was able to graduate successfully and get my license! I was also able to join the ranks of drivers. The lodging was a hotel. The room was small, but quite comfortable! The meal is a bento box. It wasn't fancy, but it was delicious.

I thought the location was great, but the atmosphere of the driving school wasn't so good.
The attitude of the staff was cold.
If they had been a little more friendly, I think my impression would have been different.
It's not that I had a bad experience, but it was disappointing.
The instructors' guidance also had a somewhat bureaucratic feel to it, and was not at all approachable or friendly.
Because of this, I was a little nervous during the practical training.
The academic lessons were also hard to understand.
The atmosphere in the classroom was not very good either.
The accommodation facilities were very good and comfortable.

This is a driving school where you can obtain various licenses. I got Regular Motorcycle manual. The pace of the lessons was a bit fast and I felt rushed at first, but once I got used to it, I was glad that the lessons seemed to be progressing at a good pace. Lodging and meals are normal. I didn't have any problems, but it wasn't particularly good either. However, my goal was to get my license, so I have no complaints. In fact, I am very glad that I was able to graduate so easily.

The teacher's teaching method was not good at all.
There were so many things I didn't understand and the atmosphere was not great.
It's summer vacation, so there are a lot of students, and it seems like they don't get proper support.
I didn't have time to ask the instructor any questions.
In principle, you can take lessons according to the schedule set by the school, but other than that it feels like there is nothing.
The schedule was pretty tight, so I was always on edge.
The accommodation and food were average, and I was able to live quite comfortably.

I had no free time at all.
Even though it was a training camp, I thought there would be a bit more time to play and have some free time, so I was really disappointed.
There is some free time in between, but it's too short to get anything done.
There were many tourist spots near the driving school and the dormitory, but I didn't have time to enjoy them at all.
I made some friends during the camp, so I wish I could have spent more time with them.
Well, considering that you can get your license in a short period of time, I guess you can't ask for such luxury.
Of course, I was able to graduate in the shortest possible time.
It's not a bad idea if you're just thinking about getting a license.

I can't recommend this school enough. It's further away and in an inconvenient location than I expected. The environment may have been good for that reason, but I regretted that I should have chosen another driving school. It's a shame that the instructor is also a bad person. And he was angry. Some of the staff were also unpleasant. Thanks to you, the atmosphere is the worst. The dormitory doesn't feel like a place where you can feel at ease at all. I don't want to come to this driving school again, and I can't recommend it to anyone.
