Makawao Hongwanji Saturday Japanese School is Back!
February 17 - May 10, 2024

We are delighted to announce Makawao Hongwanji Saturday Japanese School is back in action with our Sensei Yuko Sakata-Wheelock.  Born and raised in Japan, Yuko-sensei previously taught Japanese at adult schools for the County of Maui, worked as a flight attendant, and is a licensed real estate agent. Yuko-sensei hopes to contribute to the greater Maui community by sharing her love of Japanese language and culture.

OPEN HOUSE AND BOOK FAIR: February 17, 2024 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., Social Hall at Makawao Hongwanji

CLASSES: We try to group students together by fluency level (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Classes will be held in the Project Dana House, which is located behind the Social Hall.

MONTHLY GATHERINGS: “Let’s Speak Nihongo!” We hope to have native and fluent speakers of Japanese gather once a month so that students will have the opportunity observe and listen to “real” Japanese, as well as to try using the Japanese they have! Coffee, tea, snacks (potluck).
