Well, if you’re American at least. Our highly placed sources in the international finance community tell us that the yen to dollar rate hasn’t been better for a long time now. At the start of this year, it was 103 yen to the dollar; this week we’re at 120 yen per greenback! What does this mean to you, the American consumer? Study at GenkiJACS (and, logically, all other Japanese language schools that accept payment in yen) is now only 86% of the cost that it was in January! A 14% discount, just for waiting a year…
Of course, who knows what the future will hold, so if you’re considering coming to GenkiJACS next year, even next summer, it might be for your own benefit to book early and pay early! Of course, we’re not exactly disinterested observers, so take our advice with a pinch of salt.
By the way, here are the same graphs for some other beloved currencies:
British pound to yen (7.5% reduction in cost of GenkiJACS study)
Euro to yen (4.5% reduction)
Canadian dollar to yen (19% reduction!)
Australian dollar to yen (12% reduction)
New Zealand dollar to yen (15% reduction)

Now we really wish we’d listened during high school economics classes.
