K Village Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo; CEO: Motonari Kuwahara), operator of Japan's largest Korean language school 'K Village Korean Language', opened its 7th franchise (FC) branch, 'K Village Korean Language Chiba Ekimae School' (Operator: SHINATOS LLC; CEO: Ryuta Egawa), on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture.
### Strategic Location
The Chiba Ekimae branch is located in one of the most convenient areas in the prefecture, just a 3-minute walk from JR Chiba Station. It aims to provide the joy of learning Korean to the residents and commuters of the Chiba area through community-focused service.
### Background and Purpose
K Village's mission is to realize as many 'wants' as possible and contribute to society by creating a positive impact. In Chiba Prefecture, interest in Korean culture such as K-POP and Korean dramas is rising annually.

### Concept: A School Like a Trendy Cafe

With a white-based, clean, and 'Instagrammable' aesthetic, it provides a relaxing space for all ages, from children to seniors. The goal is to make a trip to the school feel like a quick trip to Korea in the middle of a busy daily routine.
