I enrolled in Nishiwaki Driving School in March hoping to get my license during spring break. I wanted to keep my budget down so I chose the cheaper shared room option. The instructor gave me careful instruction. The reception staff were cheerful and the overall atmosphere of the facility was good. I stayed at Leopalace, a 10-minute walk from the driving school, so the room was very clean. I was a bit worried about what my roommate would be like, but he was a nice person and I quickly became friends with him.

I had been aiming to get a license for a standard manual vehicle for a long time. I happened to have a long vacation, so I took the opportunity to enroll in a Driving Camp. I decided to go to Nishiwaki Driving School because it was easily accessible from my home. As soon as I enrolled, I thought "I'm glad I chose this school." The instructors and staff are kind, and the facility is clean. The accommodations were also relaxing and comfortable, just like home. I didn't decide on this driving school without thinking, but I'm really glad I chose this one.

As this was my first time at this driving school, I was very nervous at first. However, once I actually started, that nervousness quickly disappeared! The instructors and reception staff were friendly and easy to talk to, and I became close with the other students who started at the same time as me. I chose a hotel-type accommodation so I could relax. I was able to use the hotel's buffet in the morning. I was given a 500 yen subsidy for lunch and dinner. It's a women-friendly driving school, with a waiting room exclusively for women!

"I needed to get a driver's license for work.
I chose Nishiwaki Driving School because it had good reviews.
We have an environment where women can feel safe using the service alone, including advisors and a waiting room exclusively for women.
The accommodation was a Leopalace-type room near the driving school.
The room is small but clean and comfortable enough.
The instructor's guidance was thorough and easy to understand, so I was able to graduate without any problems.
Thank you for your help.

Nishiwaki Driving School had a very friendly atmosphere, with friendly instructors and staff. My roommate was quite eccentric, so I wondered if I should have stayed in a single room, but we didn't interfere with each other, so I didn't have any major complaints. Food was only subsidized, so I had to buy it at convenience stores or supermarkets, but since I'm picky, it was actually a good thing. Driving Camp allows you to aim to get your license in a short period of time, so I'm glad I decided to take the plunge and enroll.

"Influenced by a friend, I wanted to ride a motorcycle and decided to get a license, but the local driving school was always crowded.
So I decided to take advantage of Driving Camp and decided on this driving school which had good reviews.
Since it was spring break, there were many students around my age, so I was able to become friends with several of the students.
Meals were subsidised in cash so we had to prepare our own meals which was a hassle, but the room was clean and we were able to relax.
Now that I've graduated successfully, I want to get my license soon and go on a tour with my friends.

"I was very nervous about my first driving lesson, so I went to Driving Camp with a friend.
It seems that instructors can be good or bad, and the instructor who was in charge of me was the type who would get angry if you made a mistake, so he was a little scary.
The reception staff was friendly.
I shared a room with a friend at the accommodation.
Because it was a Leopalace property, I was able to live freely as if I were at home and it was very fulfilling.
Meals were provided with cash subsidies, so I was able to enjoy some Banshu ramen, a local specialty.

I took Nishiwaki Driving School Driving Camp camp from Osaka. There was a free school bus running from Shin-Osaka Station, so I used it and it was very convenient. The driving school had a calm atmosphere and was comfortable. All of the instructors were friendly and gave me careful instruction. The accommodation was an apartment-style building with a certain level of facilities, so I didn't feel inconvenienced. It was an average driving school, so I would especially recommend it to those who live in the Osaka or Kobe area where there is a bus.

I needed to get a driver's license for work, so I enrolled in Nishiwaki Driving School I could graduate in a short time. I'm from Kobe, and there was a free bus from Kobe, so I thought it was a good deal and used it. The atmosphere inside the driving school was calm and comfortable, even for someone my age. The accommodations were apartment-style, so I could relax. Meals were subsidized with cash, so I ate at nearby convenience stores, supermarkets, and ramen shops. Thanks to the instructor's careful instruction, I was able to graduate and get my license in the shortest possible time. Thank you for all your help.

"I took Driving Camp with a friend.
We got a little something out of it as we were given a group discount for bookings of two or more people.
The facility is well-cleaned and has a calming atmosphere.
We stayed at Leopalace, sharing a room with a friend, so we had a great time together, just like on a school trip.
We were given a subsidy for meals, so I went to a nearby ramen restaurant and had the local specialty Banshu ramen.
I was with a friend so I had a fun time completing my lessons.

Overall, it was not a bad driving school. The instructor was kind and gave easy-to-understand instructions, but the dialect was strong and it was sometimes difficult to hear what was being said. The reception staff were friendly. The accommodation was a little old, but it was an apartment-style room where you could relax. Food was subsidized, so you had to buy it yourself. There were few restaurants in the area, so I ended up eating the same things all the time. The prices were relatively reasonable, so it's a good choice for those looking for a general driving school.

"Some of the instructors spoke in strong dialects, which was refreshing and interesting in its own way.
They will provide proper guidance, so even those with no prior knowledge will be okay.
The accommodation is located near the driving school.
There are some facilities available, but you will need to provide your own shampoo, conditioner, etc.
All meals are subsidised in cash.
I wish they had at least provided bread or something for breakfast.
Although I did have a few complaints, I think it's a pretty good driving school if you're just looking at Driving Camp.

I took advantage of Driving Camp as a woman. The instructors have various teaching methods, so I think compatibility will vary depending on the person. The accommodation was a Leopalace property, so I was able to relax as if it were my own room. There was a TV and other amenities, but there was no hair dryer, so I had to bring my own. So my luggage was bulky, which was a bit disappointing. I think it would be even better if the accommodation facilities were a little more complete.

It seems like a typical driving school. The instructors and reception staff vary from person to person. I've encountered both friendly and unfriendly people. The accommodation feels a bit cramped when sharing a room. People with a lot of luggage may have trouble even unpacking it. Meals are provided but you have to buy them yourself each time. The amount is small and there are few shops nearby, so the food options are limited. It may be better for women not to enroll, although it may be better for men.

"My first driving lesson was awful.
My goal was to get a driver's license to drive a regular automatic car, so I chose Nishiwaki Driving School because it was easily accessible from my home.
I had high expectations because there were many positive reviews, but many of the instructors would yell at you if you made a mistake, and the reception staff were not very friendly.
The website states that it has a calm atmosphere, but in reality it is just deserted.
Since the subsidy for meals was small, we mostly ate cup ramen.
It might be best for women to refrain from using it alone.

Also, the dialect was strong and there were times when I couldn't understand what they were saying.
I tried to keep costs down by sharing a room, but it was quite small so I had to share with my roommate.

I successfully graduated and got my license, but I had high hopes for the course and had read some good things in reviews, so I'm disappointed.
