About Green Space Kitano
A friendly, safe place in Kobe for kids and families to learn through English — built around real play, music, art, yoga and ideas. We're bilingual through and through, supporting all ages from babies to adults.
Thakral Bldg #100, 1-5-22 Kitano-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe-shi, Hyogo 650-0002. We're a short walk from Sannomiya, Shin-Kobe and Motomachi stations.
Babies, children, teens, parents and adults. All levels welcome — from total beginners to advanced.
Not at all. We use games, projects and routines so kids absorb English naturally. Most children build confidence in the first few weeks.
Programs & schedule
After School Kids Club runs Mon–Fri afternoons. Saturday School (Main + Junior) runs Saturdays. Music, Yoga, EIKEN and Minecraft sit on top of those — see the Schedule page for the full grid.
Spring, Summer and Winter — short, themed weeks during school holidays. Spring 2026 has wrapped; Summer is up next. Check the Intensives page for dates as they're confirmed.
Small group sizes so every child gets attention from the lead teacher and a bilingual mentor.
Both run inside the After School Kids Club and Saturday School — there's no separate timetable or fee. Enroll in the parent program and your child takes part automatically.
