As in your home country, you will find a wide range of classes for just about anything you want to learn. More specific to Japan are classes such as Japanese cooking, flower arranging, and the martial arts, which seem most popular with Western women. Some classes are held in English, but these tend to be expensive when compared with classes held in Japanese that Japanese people attend. Most Western women prefer the Japanese classes, finding that the classes in themselves are a good way to learn Japanese in a natural environment and to meet non-English-speaking Japanese people that they would usually never encounter. Ward offices hold a variety of classes at really cheap prices, sometimes for free.
