    Regular Manual(May)
    The teachers were very kind, easy to talk to and gave good advice.
    What's more, in the department, we could learn by watching videos, which was even better.
    The training camp location was clean and easy to live in, and they also provided transportation to and from work every morning, which was great.
    There is a supermarket nearby, so you can go shopping after finishing work early in the evening.

    Class 1 Large Vehicle(January)
    During the training camp I took the large vehicle and towing classes.
    He taught me the lessons carefully and without any problems.
    There was one person who was strict, but I think it was good guidance because getting behind the wheel comes with a lot of responsibility.
    I was right to choose the deluxe dormitory; it was new, spacious, very clean, quiet and comfortable.
    I recommend you don't skimp on the money and choose the deluxe option.
    There are several large supermarkets near the dormitory, so I recommend checking them out.
    3 Meals Provided, but I didn't think they were very tasty. Still, I'm grateful for whatever is available.

    One thing that could be improved is that with the training camp, you don't know what time the practical training will start until the morning of the day. The dormitory is located far from the driving school, so I recommend bringing something to kill time.
    There was one bus driver who was driving recklessly, but I think he will be disciplined soon.

    The driving school itself is by no means the cleanest, but I'm glad I went there.

    Semi-Medium(February)
    I successfully graduated from the semi-medium-sized class on February 21st! All of my instructors were very kind, and I would like to thank Instructor Aoyagi for his kind guidance! I regret not being able to say goodbye to him at the end.
    During the lesson, Instructor Ishikawa had a fun conversation with me, so I was able to drive in a relaxed atmosphere! Thank you very much! If I have the opportunity, I would like to come to this driving school for a license training camp again. I look forward to seeing you then!

    Class 2 Heavy Vehicle(January)
    Since there were no large-scale Type 2 training camps in Okinawa, I came here.
    Pros
    The dorms are clean. The men's dorm Flora is close to a supermarket and is within a 10-minute walk from the station. There is also a convenience store nearby. The women's dorm and the other men's dorm are a little far from the station, but it seems that the convenience store is close by. The Flora dorm is new, has a bathtub, and has Wi-Fi, which was nice. There are sofas and other things to relax on. If you bring an Amazon Fire stick, you can kill time.
    Most of the instructors are veterans. If you don't understand something, please ask. It's no good waiting for them to tell you. If you ask about something you're unsure about, they will tell you.
    In the morning, the menu changes daily and includes bread, rice balls, small bento boxes, noodles, etc.
    I have a bento for lunch.
    In the evening, I either eat the same company lunch as I did for lunch, or a different company lunch.
    It's included in the camp fee, so there's nothing to complain about. It's delicious.
    There are convenience stores and small supermarkets near the driving lessons, so that's nice too.

    Cons
    There's nothing particularly bad about it, but just my opinion.
    First of all, this may be the case for other training camps as well.
    In the morning, someone came to pick me up and take me to the driving school.
    I arrived at 7:30 and my first class was in the afternoon.
    This kind of thing happens quite often.
    Nebosuke will probably just want to go to sleep, but we need to go together in the morning, even if it's from noon.
    The schedule for the day will be announced on the day, so unless you go in the morning you won't know whether you will be teaching in the morning or afternoon.
    However, if I knew in advance that it would start in the afternoon, I think I could spend my time more meaningfully.
    Cleaning of the dormitory comes every day, so it has to be in the morning, but if I knew from the beginning that it would be in the afternoon, I could go to the driving school on my own and go sightseeing somewhere in the morning or kill some time.
    In my case, on days when I finished early, I would go see the planetarium in Omiya.
    However, if you get caught in traffic jams and can't make it in time, even though it's only from noon, the camp schedule will change. It's a difficult situation. So rather than asking for improvements, please come prepared for that. I think it's better than finding out after you've arrived.
    There are buses from the driving school to Kawagoe, Omiya, and Minami-Furuya. It takes less than 30 minutes to walk to Minami-Furuya. There are not many places to kill time near the driving school. There is a McDonald's about 20 minutes walk away. On the other hand, depending on the content, there are days when you leave after 10 o'clock. On days when you finish early, you can get the key and go home. If you want to go to Kawagoe at night, you can just get the key and not take the shuttle bus.

    The rest area for the boys' camp is a little cold. It can't be helped since it's an old building. Please dress warmly.

    Depending on the situation, you may have a lesson first thing in the morning and the next one in the evening (leaving a gap of more than 6 hours).
    I think there are various reasons for those attending the training camp and those commuting to the school.
    This is a possibility, so be prepared to kill time.
    I was reading manga on my phone all the time.

    The dormitory is very clean, but it only has the bare minimum. Even if you want to cook by yourself, there are no pots or pans (my ex doesn't want me to cook).
    Well, I guess it can't be helped since three meals a day are included.
    If you really want to cook, there are kettles etc., so a cheap pot from Daiso would be fine.

    Most of the staff are nice people too.
    However, some people are a bit unfriendly.
    Although it's a school, it's a paid job, so I think it would be okay if they could improve their communication skills a little more. It seems like there are people who serve customers with a smile and people who serve customers with a sulky look.

    There are also quite a lot of young students, so some of them seem a bit cocky.
    I guess he's at the age where he wants to show off.
    Please watch over them with a little warmth.
    However, some children just put their feet on the desk.
    In that case, please be gentle and careful.

    Overall, I think it's a good school.
    I'm glad that I was able to get the large Type 2 license here.
    thank you very much.

    I graduated from the training camp on March 6th and successfully obtained my driver's license!
    The teachers are very kind and will help you relax if you are nervous!
    Thank you to all the teachers who were involved!
    In particular, I would like to thank Professor Kaneko, Professor Kamata, Professor Goto, Professor Aoyagi, and Professor Sato!
    I'll come and show it to you when I buy an 86 and get my beginner's mark removed haha

    I'm really thankful to you!!

    Thank you for your help during the training camp!
    It was great that everyone was able to teach me so carefully!
    I was worried about whether I would be able to graduate on the set date, but it seems like most people are able to graduate without having to stay overnight, so I don't think there's any need to worry too much!
    It may be difficult to get used to your new environment and driving and academic studies, but once you get over that, it's not that difficult and it will be over rather quickly, so just do your best at the beginning!
    Generally, all driving schools were air-conditioned, so I was able to concentrate on my studies.
    We were given a variety of amenities, and there were plenty of laundry supplies and home appliances available, so it was much easier to live there than I expected!
    As for food, we were given a bottle of tea in the morning, and the food was warm and delicious. Personally, I thought the soba, udon, and curry were delicious! The portions were ample, so I didn't have to buy my own food, which was nice.
    Due to the coronavirus, the station isn't that close by, and the academic and practical classes are quite packed, so I basically just go back and forth between the dormitory and the driving school and can't go out much.
    I thought it was pretty tough for the first 2 days until I got used to it, but when it was over I even thought it might have been a little fun, so I think it was a good experience! Thank you!

    I got my regular Class 2 driver's license at the training camp.

    This is a retro driving school with a Showa era feel. Although the facilities are old, you can enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere.

    The instructors are kind and provide thorough instruction, so I think it's a comfortable learning environment.
    I had the impression that driving school instructors were often sarcastic and made unnecessary remarks, but the instructors here make sure you can concentrate on driving.
    Thanks to the accurate instruction, I passed the final exam on the first try. I was prepared to have to stay longer because of the points deducted for failing to pass the sharp corner, but I'm glad I was able to overcome the final test. To be honest, I'm half happy and half sad, and if I had a meaner instructor, I would have definitely failed lol

    As for the meals, for breakfast, bread, rice balls and drinks from Family Mart are provided. Lunch and dinner are delivered by a company, and the taste is rated 2 out of 5, and the volume is also 2nd, so it may not be enough for men.

    Also, the indoor environment of the men's dormitory was very clean, the rooms were spacious and comfortable. There is a Lawson within a 5-minute walk. A short walk from there is a Chinese restaurant called Manmantei. The fried rice, yakisoba and stamina ramen there were excellent.

    Lastly, the director is a very kind person. On the first day, I picked up the wrong key to my dorm room, and even though it was outside of business hours, he returned it to me without any complaints. Even when I was worried about the camp life, he was concerned about me and I was happy to receive words of encouragement.
    I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity. Thank you very much.

    I graduated in June.
    I went to the training camp alone, but all the instructors were very kind and I had fun driving. There were a lot of interesting and quirky instructors, so I looked forward to checking the morning schedule wondering who would be in charge that day.

    Of course, the driving on the first day was so funny that I wondered if I could even drive a car.
    Veteran teachers will teach you the tricks so you'll improve quickly!

    The girls' dormitory may or may not be listed on the website.
    There is a kettle, laundry rack, hangers, a mirror, a microwave, dishwashing detergent, a sponge, and a regular hair dryer!

    I went there with a lot of luggage without knowing.
    If you are going, I think it's enough to bring a change of clothes, laundry detergent, and other things you need.
    (Even if you bring a curling iron to curl your hair, you won't have time to do it, so if you're not good at mornings, it's better not to bring one and reduce your luggage! I never curled my hair even once lol)

    There is a large pharmacy nearby that has everything you need, and there are also convenience stores nearby, so don't worry!

    However, there are few buses
    What if I oversleep and miss the shuttle bus?
    Be prepared for it to be hectic! LOL
    I made it to the shuttle bus just in time, but I was a bit worried when I woke up 5 minutes before the bus arrived 😂

    Whenever I have a question about my studies, I am very grateful that they explain it to me until I understand it!
    Don't worry about what to do, just ask the teachers and they will teach you anything!
    Whenever I would look at Chika-sensei with a "what should I do, help me?" look on my face, she would always kindly ask me what was wrong and help me out 😂
    When the teachers seemed busy, we studied together with the students who were at the camp, checking answers and so on!

    The students at the camp were all very kind, so I didn't feel lonely even though I went alone!
    Don't worry! You can make friends!
    It's totally fine if you don't mind being alone☺️
    (I was one of the people who thought it would be rude to be alone at first lol)

    When I had free time after a day of studying, I would go to Kawagoe by bus with some of the kids I had become friends with during the training camp and eat yakiniku.
    I enjoyed it as if I was a student 😊

    Three meals a day were provided and bottled drinks were provided every morning, so it was easy to get through the day.

    However, since there is a lot of fried food, you might get a little tired of the rice, but it will still fill you up!

    Thanks to the kind instructors, I can now drive properly outside! Probably! Lol
    On the day I decided to graduate, the teachers who had been so kind to me were on vacation or in classes, so I was unable to properly thank them or say goodbye, which is a shame😞💦

    Thank you everyone so much for the past two weeks!
    I highly recommend this driving school.

    P.S. I kept my promise to write a review, Dr. Kaneko 😊 lol
    I was crying so hard when I got my provisional license, but I got my full license on the first try! I'm so impressed! lol

    It's a fairly large driving school, but the building is old. However, I didn't feel uncomfortable; in fact, I was able to take lessons comfortably. There were a lot of trainees and the staff seemed busy, but I was glad that most of them were veterans and were able to take good care of them. There were many instructors, but they all had a nice atmosphere and the lessons were easy to understand. It was a pretty tight schedule, but I think it was thanks to the instructors and staff that I was able to complete it without any problems. The accommodation was quite comfortable and the food was delicious!

    There were many teachers who were good at teaching, so even though it was a short period of time, I was able to feel that my skills were improving.
    The two weeks went by in a flash, but it was a lot of fun.
    It was a place I would recommend to friends.

    I attended this driving school's training camp to get Regular Motorcycle license. Since I had a regular car license, there were many exemptions and I was a little bored at times, but in the practical training, many instructors taught me in detail the detailed operation methods unique to motorcycles in addition to the basic knowledge. If there was something I didn't understand, they were there to teach me anything, and I was able to have a fulfilling license training camp without any inconvenience. Thank you very much.

    The building is quite old and feels like an old-fashioned driving school. However, the equipment was new so the atmosphere was not bad. Of course, the staff's response was also very good. The Driving Camp for a long time, so I got the impression that they were very used to dealing with the situation. The accommodation is Leopalace. It wasn't that big, but the facilities were good and it was clean. It's not a bad environment to rest after finishing your lessons. The meal was like a school lunch, but the portion was quite satisfying. Overall, I was satisfied.

    I was taken care of when I obtained Regular Motorcycle license! At first, I was worried whether I would be able to graduate as planned, but thanks to the instructors' careful teaching, I was able to graduate safely! I was impressed by how delicious the lunches were and how clean Flora WEST (the dormitory) was. I would recommend this driving school if you are going to get your license at a driving school camp with friends. Thank you!

    This time I participated in a training camp.
    Among the teachers who taught me in theory and practical training, there were various teachers, such as teachers who were interesting to talk to, teachers who taught me kindly, and teachers who were a little strict. This time, I was able to do my best until the end because I was riding with teachers who were kind and often praised me!
    I don't like curry, so Sunday dinner was a struggle for me (laughs).

    The accommodation was especially nice. We shared a room at Leopalace, but it was really fun because I was able to quickly become friends with the people in the same room. This is something you can look forward to in a shared room. I don't often get the chance to live together with friends, so it was a very fun memory for me. The food that followed was delicious. It was very filling and the taste was quite good. It's not luxurious, but I have no complaints. Although the school building is old, it has a great atmosphere and the lessons were fun. I didn't have a lot of leeway in my schedule, but it wasn't an unreasonable plan at all, which was great.

    I think it was pretty good as a driving school. The instructor's guidance was very appropriate, and when I didn't understand something, he answered my questions over and over again until I understood it properly. I was worried because I am quite clumsy, but I was able to graduate without any problems. It seems like the period is short, but I had more time than I expected. I wasn't able to clear everything in one try, but I'm glad that I was able to pass the exam within the time period. The food and lodging are not bad either. It's not luxurious, and the rooms aren't huge either. However, I think it was all I needed and I was able to calm down and concentrate on my lessons.
