I was taken care of by someone from a neighboring prefecture for two weeks for Driving Camp.
It seems that it is an empty period now, so there are no students enrolled at the same time.
There was no one there.
Both the teachers and the receptionists were kind and explained things to me carefully, making it an easy experience and I'm glad I was able to attend this driving school.
Although there were some teachers who spoke harshly at times, most of the teachers taught us kindly and carefully.
I didn't have any acquaintances or friends so at first it was lonely and difficult for me, but I found it soothing and enjoyable to talk to the teachers who spoke to me during lessons.
I was very happy that he was willing to give me advice on driving and my personal life.
I had a lot of fun walking around the park with my teacher and taking photos of the autumn leaves.
I didn't have a day off and it was a very busy day.
I had a lot of free time, so I used it to study in the study room or go back to my dormitory.
I ate my meals in the dining hall. When I had to go home and come back, I bought food at a nearby supermarket or convenience store and ate it at the accommodation! The people in the dining hall were very kind and always called out to me in the evenings, which made me happy.
Thank you for your help. Thank you very much!

I attended your regular driver's license training camp in May.
The receptionists, instructors, and cafeteria staff were all really nice.
I got a low score on the mock test before getting my provisional license, so I talked to my teacher about it, and he prepared a lot of review questions for me.
Even during Final Driving Test, I was feeling nervous while waiting in the waiting room downstairs, but a teacher gave me a drink and said, "Have a drink of water and relax," and all the teachers were very kind.

It seems that the instructors are mostly younger than those at other driving schools. I also had a lot of fun talking to the various instructors during the rides, so I would especially recommend this to people who like to communicate!

The dormitory is not very large, but I personally found it comfortable as it was a relaxing space where I could concentrate on my studies.
There are supermarkets and drugstores nearby so you can stock up on daily necessities.

Thank you to the staff at the cafeteria who prepared delicious meals every day.
It was so delicious that I ended up eating too much, and when I weighed myself after graduating, I had gained 2kg (lol).

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me!
Thanks to this, I was able to pass the driving test on the first try.
Someday I'll go for a drive and visit Okamoto.

I took a driving license course at Okamotodai Driving School for 18 days. The teacher who I thought was a little scary turned out to be really interesting when I talked to him, and I had a great time every day! Thanks to him, I passed the driving license test in my hometown on the first try!
When I told the teacher about the things I was not good at about driving, he taught me until I could do it, and I learned how to drive. I will always drive safely! Thank you very much!

This is the only place to get your license!
Please come to Okamoto Driving School

Maybe I'll come see you again~^_^

I came all the way from Yamanashi Prefecture for the training camp, and it was a really good driving school! At first I wondered if I could last two weeks, but now I'm really sad to leave.
I graduated today and will be taking my driving test tomorrow, so I hope to make the most of what I've learned here!!
I'm really grateful to Professor Hayashi who taught me gently and carefully even though I was a poor driver in the first stage, and Professor Ishizuka who was scary and didn't talk to me at first but became very friendly with me in the end! I'll do my best tomorrow!

We were taken care of by Tokyo for a regular AT training camp.

Thanks to my supervisors, I was able to graduate in just 14 days.
I made an appointment at the driver's license center immediately after returning to Tokyo, and received my license today without any problems.

The best thing about this school is that it has a diverse and caring team of teachers.

There are so many to list, but
The teacher talked about the content of the lesson and his own personal experiences.
A teacher who is good at teaching and has both humor and kindness.
A friendly teacher who loves Kyoto.
There are a variety of teachers, including those whose stories about theoretical training are simply fascinating.

The receptionists were also very kind.

Although I enrolled alone, I was able to have a good amount of interaction with the teachers and students, and my days were full of fun and excitement.
In just two weeks, I made so many memories that it's impossible to write them all here!

As long as the students are serious about their studies and have the desire to graduate, the teachers will provide patient and kind guidance.

It was a great experience to actually drive on the highway instead of just doing a simulation during the highway lessons.

Also, for the course content that you need to memorize at the beginning, there are videos in a certain short video app that are shot from a top-down perspective and from inside the car, which are very helpful.

When I remember the faces of the teachers who trained me in driving skills, I realize that I could never drive recklessly, and I truly believe that I made the right choice by choosing Okamotodai Driving School.

I will use the experience I have gained here to strive to have no accidents or violations for the rest of my life.

Thank you for your help with my Driving Camp.

All the teachers are nice people, and even if there is a scary teacher you can always block them, and they are on TikTok, so if you see them on there you won't be so scared.

The shower in the single dormitory is difficult to use and requires some skill. There is a karaoke shop (Maneki Neko), a supermarket, and Okamoto Station nearby.

If I had a question, they would carefully answer me and use a teaching method that suited the student, so it was very easy to understand. The reception staff and the shuttle bus driver were also very friendly, so I highly recommend this school. Thank you very much to the teachers for all your help🙇♀️

I was taken care of during the training camp and graduated yesterday.
At first, I chose this driving school thinking, "Maybe I might as well go somewhere I've never been before," but it turned out to be a very satisfying choice.

Comprehensive training in a short period of time
I was able to receive high-quality instruction in both theory and skills through a curriculum that allows me to graduate in as little as 14 days. The instructors were kind to everyone I encountered and patiently taught me, so I was able to learn with confidence. Thanks to them, I gradually began to feel that driving, which I was nervous about at first, was fun.

Impressive subject classes
In the academic classes, many of the teachers explained things using their own experiences, and I was particularly impressed by the lectures that began with, "Let me tell you a little personal story." Don't neglect to check your car. Some teachers chose to teach in a designated format, which helped me to better understand the subjects, which tend to be passive. There was also plenty of extra lessons after the mock test, so I was fully prepared for the actual exam.

What I learned from Driving Lessons
During Driving Lessons, all the instructors gave me polite and accurate advice. In particular, when I was driving around a curve, the instruction was very specific and easy to understand, such as "proceed slowly so that the license plate approaches the corner." Also, when I suddenly braked in the hall and apologized, the instructors calmly told me, "It's okay," which helped me relax and focus on the course.

It doesn't snow in my hometown, so driving in the snow was a valuable experience. I was nervous at first, but thanks to the instructors' appropriate advice, I was able to drive while feeling the importance of safe driving.

The warm support of the restaurant staff
The cafeteria staff who prepared our meals every day were also very kind and considerate. Even though I was living in an unfamiliar environment, I was able to feel at ease thanks to the warm meals and thoughtfulness. I felt that mealtimes in the cafeteria were a relaxing time during the busy training camp life.

Advice for future students
・Actively taking supplementary lessons after mock tests will lead to improved scores
・Reading the textbook before class will deepen your understanding
・We recommend using "Manten-sama" every day
・If you have any questions about the subject or skills, it is important to check with your instructor as soon as possible.
・You should focus on learning about trams, hand signals, and the differences in the types of vehicles you can drive with your license.
・The more effort you put in, the better the results, so plan your studies accordingly.

When choosing a driving school, the environment and teaching methods are important points, but this school had a very easy-to-learn environment. Although it was only a short period of two weeks, it was a very meaningful experience. I would like to thank all the instructors and the cafeteria staff.

My daughter graduated today from a single room retreat.
The room was clean and comfortable. The food was delicious and there were lots of side dishes, so I never got tired of it.
All the teachers were kind.
There was no intimidating instructor.
At first, everyone was quiet because they didn't know anyone there, but from the second day they started talking and made friends.
It seems like it was a fun two weeks.
I am truly glad that I chose Okamotodai Driving School.
Thank you very much to everyone involved for your help.

I had heard that reading manuals for regular cars was difficult, so I was very nervous. However, when I thought about finding a job, I really needed a manual driver's license. However, I have to look for a job, so I don't have much time to spare. So, I decided to participate in Driving Camp. I was able to graduate in about half a month. Of course, since it was my first time doing this, the lessons were a bit difficult at times, but the instructor's instructions were easy to understand. Thanks to this, I was able to acquire driving skills even in a short period of time. Of course, the same goes for faculty. I was able to pass the exam on the first try. When you get your license, you'll definitely be excited! Thanks to this, I was able to apply myself to job hunting.

I was a bit worried about taking lessons during the hot summer months.
In fact, the temperature was quite high.
But the air conditioning worked well.
Of course, it was cool inside the car so I didn't have any problems during my lessons.
What I was happy about at the accommodation was that the security was very good.
I was concerned about this, as I was the only woman participating.
This driving school gives the impression of being very strict, perhaps because it has many female students.
Thanks to this, I was able to spend my time in peace.
The lessons themselves were easy to understand and the staff were very polite and helpful.

When I thought of a driving school, I thought it would be the most dry and administrative, but this driving school was nothing like that. If anything, it had a homely atmosphere. Some people may not like this atmosphere, but it was very good for me. The instructor was strict and scary-looking, but the lessons themselves were average and even kind. I was glad that my training schedule was more flexible than I had imagined. The food and lodging were comfortable, and I was able to do things that refreshed me, so I didn't feel overwhelmed. It's a good driving school.

The living conditions, including the accommodation and food, were far better than I had imagined.
The food in particular was excellent.
Not only does it taste delicious, but I could see that they had also taken the quantity and nutritional balance into consideration.
Although my usual eating habits have been irregular, I feel like my health has improved for about two weeks.
That was such a good diet.
Thanks to that, I was able to concentrate on my lessons.
The instructor seemed strict, but he never got unreasonably angry.
They taught me thoroughly, so I'm glad I was able to graduate on time.
I'm glad I chose this driving school.

There are many Driving School.
There were many good things about it, but the accommodation and food were especially good.
When I think of training camp, I imagine a cramped life.
But the accommodation was very good and the food was delicious.
I was honestly surprised because I never imagined that such an enjoyable life would be waiting for me.
The instructors were very kind and I am very satisfied overall.

Although the atmosphere was not good, I was able to graduate in a short period of time, so I'm glad that I did. There was variation among the instructors. Some people were kind and gave me very detailed instructions, while others were a little hard to understand. However, I was able to graduate properly in the end, so I have no complaints. I had a good diet, so I didn't have any problems with my daily life, and I have the impression that my standard of living was quite high. I was able to sleep soundly at night, so I didn't have to carry the fatigue from the lessons into the next day.

First of all, I wonder if I can really get a license with this? I couldn't do anything at all, so much so that I had doubts about it. However, thanks to my instructor's careful guidance, I was able to become a full-fledged driver by the time I graduated. Lodging and meals are normal. There were no problems at all. It was actually quite fun. I am very satisfied because I was able to graduate in such a short period of time and I was able to spend such a fulfilling time. I'm really glad I chose this driving school as my training camp location.
