I thought that Driving Camp would mean taking lessons while living in the countryside, but this one was in a very convenient location. There are many facilities nearby, and it's quite a city. However, the school building was large and the course was open. Is the dormitory normal? The facilities were well-equipped, so I was able to live comfortably. The food was very delicious and there were many variations on the menu. So I didn't get bored of it at all after about two weeks. Most of the instructors were veterans. Thanks to the careful and easy-to-understand guidance, I was able to graduate in the shortest possible time.

I was able to do. It's great to be stress-free no matter what you do. The training schedule seemed quite tight, but when I actually took it, it wasn't at all. It was a reasonable schedule. The lessons were so much fun that every day was fulfilling. Of course, I was tired at first, but once I got used to it, it was much more comfortable and easier than my normal life.

This is a driving school that provides an environment where you can concentrate on your lessons.
Anyway, there was very little stress in my life.
There are many facilities nearby, so it was very convenient, and the rooms were comfortable.
It really felt like I was living on my own and attending driving school, so it's safe to say that there was absolutely no stress like you might imagine from the word "training camp."
The only thing I was dissatisfied with was that the heating didn't work very well.
It was still a little cold at the time, so it would have been nice if the heating had been a little more effective.
But other than that it was good and I have nothing to complain about.

I thought there wouldn't be any free time at the training camp, but that wasn't the case at all.
In fact, I was so surprised at how much freedom there was!
Despite that, I was able to graduate in such a short time, so I have no complaints.
The accommodation is Leopalace.
It's not particularly nice, but again I had a lot of freedom and didn't feel stressed.
It was very good.
There was a lot of freedom in terms of food, so I could eat whatever I wanted.
This was also a nice point.
I think that because I didn't have any stress in my daily life, I was able to concentrate on my lessons.

The driving school was in a much more convenient location than I had imagined. I was surprised because it was close to the station. This time it was a training camp, but the accommodation is an apartment, which seems convenient for commuting. It was a fairly new building and had good facilities. It was a bit chilly, but I had a comfortable time. Of course, I was able to sleep soundly. The food was also good. The portion was also sufficient, so I didn't feel hungry. The training schedule is a bit strict, but I can graduate in less than two weeks, so it can't be helped. Of course, it's not an impossible schedule. I was able to do it well.

Overall it was a nice and comfortable driving school.
I hardly had any problems, and it was so comfortable that I didn't want to go home.
At first, I was scared of the lessons.
After all, it was my first experience...
However, the content of the lessons was very comprehensive and intensive, so I was able to get used to it in a short period of time.
The accommodation was also quite comfortable.
The food was delicious and I had a great time during my studies.
I was also happy that I could graduate in such a short time.

In addition to training camps, we also offer commuting lessons, so there were many trainees every day. The vibrancy was amazing. However, it wasn't that crowded, it was comfortable, and the atmosphere was nice. The instructor was very nice and gave instructions in a way that was easy to understand. It seems that most of the instructors are veterans. The dormitory rooms are quite large. It was a bit too spacious and felt lonely. There was enough private space to live normally.

I'm clumsy, so I was really worried about whether I would be able to keep up with the lessons.
However, since it was Driving Camp, I was able to receive lessons every day in a row, which helped me get used to driving naturally.
If I hadn't been able to get behind the wheel every day, I don't think I would have been able to complete my training in such a short time.
So I guess Driving Camp was right for me.
The accommodation is a normal apartment, so I have no complaints.
If you have ever lived alone, you will probably be able to get used to it quickly.

I think living conditions such as lodging and meals were normal. I never felt uncomfortable living there, and I didn't have any problems. However, it wasn't particularly luxurious lodging or meals; it was just normal. I was able to concentrate properly on my lessons, so I think this is a good thing. I think the instructors and staff are very responsive. They made me feel very welcome from the beginning, and I was really taken care of during my time at the school.

The atmosphere was very nice.
Right from the start, I was welcomed by the staff and I was really excited.
Some of the instructors were a little strict, but overall they were kind.
This also depends on the compatibility though.
My friend who took the lessons with me didn't seem to get along very well with the instructor.
My accommodation was an apartment, but it wasn't very nice or spacious.
This is fine for about half a month, but it's not the kind of place I'd want to live in forever.
I felt a little bit stressed.
The food was also average.
Well, it’s good to be normal.

I chose this location because it was easily accessible from within Tokyo.
It was close to the station so there was very little stress when traveling.
There were other potential locations for the training camp, but the great location was the final deciding factor.
There are also many convenient facilities and shops in the surrounding area.
The atmosphere in the school was also quite good.
There was a sufficient number of staff members, so the service was excellent.
There were more instructors than I expected, and a lot of training cars, so it felt like a big driving school.
Of course, I was able to keep to the schedule without any problems.
There were times along the way when I wasn't able to continue with the lessons smoothly, but I was glad that it remained the same until graduation.

This driving school has a problem with the difficulty of the provisional license test questions, ranging from easy to very difficult, with few general questions, and there is a large difference in the difficulty, and regardless of the amount of time the test taker spends studying, it is down to luck from the moment the test taker receives the questions, with only a 30% pass rate (the general pass rate is about 80%). The data clearly shows that there is a difference in the questions, and it has become common to fail the first time, and according to people who have taken the test, there is a huge difference between incredibly easy questions and questions that seem to be a collection of questions that come up once or twice after studying for about 50 hours. Unless something is done about this situation, the pass rate for the provisional license test will not increase and students will continue to criticize. Above all, I understand that people fail because they don't study enough, but there are many easy questions only for those who have not studied at all, which is a big problem among students, so if you are thinking of attending this driving school, it would be better to give up and go to another driving school.

I used it during a training camp. First of all, even though it said that amenities were available, after I paid, they were unilaterally told that the amenities had ended, and there were no amenities at all. It was especially painful that there was no hair dryer. It is difficult to obtain a hair dryer locally, so I would like them to provide one. Furthermore, in the apartment I moved into, there were still traces of the previous person's use, such as hair, dust, water droplets, and black mold in the bathroom. I recommend that those who are going to start studying here clean the room on the first day. I was told that the room would be cleaned halfway through the training camp, but there was no sign of it being cleaned during the training camp. I would like them to at least do a thorough cleaning when changing tenants.

In addition, the facilities of the school itself are so old that it seems to have been closed down, and there are some unsanitary parts. The toilets are also outside, which is inconvenient and unsanitary. Most of the driving school cars are also old. Spending two weeks in an old, unsanitary driving school and unsanitary dormitory was nothing but painful. We were not allowed to return to the dormitory until the evening, and there was no place to relax nearby, so it was really suffocating.

Furthermore, I felt that the quality of the instructors varied greatly. Some instructors were kind, polite, and concise, but there were also a few instructors who were rude, didn't teach me anything, and simply made me feel uncomfortable. One instructor, Mr. Ueki, was particularly bad. I would appreciate it if you could improve this as soon as possible. Also, the content of the instruction varies depending on the instructor, and there is no correct answer, so I was forced to make some kind of correction every time I took the driving test, which was very confusing. I would like you to standardize the content of the instruction. If there are any owners who are reading this review, I would like you to improve the above points as soon as possible for the sake of future students.

The rooms at the training camp are dirty, and even though lessons only start in the afternoon, you're not allowed to go back to your room and have to wait inside the driving school, which is the worst.
Even if you don't have any lessons, you have to wait at the driving school from morning to evening.
For those taking the training camp, we recommend other driving schools.
