International College of Dual Business

We are a two-year vocational college offering courses in the hotel and tourism industries.

For more than 30 years our school has trained students in the service industry. We have a strong commitment to overseas employment. Since 1970, over 800 of our graduates have gone on to work overseas. They work at well-known hotels, restaurants and travel agencies after receiving work permits from government authorities abroad.

Some students have even attained positions as general managers or sales managers. Others have acquired various positions in top companies in Japan.

With students from more than 20 countries, we strive to maintain a very international atmosphere in our school. We hope that by studying side by side, students will gain a greater appreciation for each other and the world around them.
