You know that feeling when you meet someone
who just gets it?

Same obsession with the perfect eyeliner.
Same excitement over a killer outfit.
Same feeling that this is who I am.

At BLEA, a classroom full of those people
is waiting for you. No special treatment, no tourist program
just you, joining their everyday life.

Don't speak Japanese? You don't need to.
Style has no language. A smile and a shared passion
are all it takes to belong.

Be you. That's enough. That's everything.

TOKYO'S MOST
CREATIVE SCHOOL

BLEA is a school at the center of Harajuku and Shibuya culture — the epicenter of Japanese youth culture. With departments in fashion, beauty, entertainment & modeling, hair styling, and more, BLEA covers the full spectrum of creative careers. Every class is taught by working professionals who are active in the industry right now.

Our graduates are making waves across fashion, beauty, entertainment, and media in Japan and beyond. And now, for the first time, we're opening our doors to international visitors for a short-term experience — a chance to taste the BLEA life for a few weeks.

A FEW WEEKS THAT
COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.

01

SAME CLASS, SAME VIBE

No separate curriculum for visitors. You'll sit in real BLEA classes alongside Japanese students — fashion, beauty, modeling, hair styling, and more. Same lessons, same energy, together.

02

FRIENDS, NOT TEACHERS

The real value isn't the lessons — it's the connections. Hang out with students your age who share your passion for fashion and beauty. Grab lunch together. Explore Harajuku together. That's where the magic happens.

03

AN EXPERIENCE YOU CAN'T BUY

No tourist package can give you this. Sharing the daily life of a BLEA student for a few weeks, surrounded by creative peers who become real friends — that's something you'll carry with you forever.

YOUR EVERYDAY
AT BLEA

MORNING — CLASS WITH YOUR PEERS

Join regular BLEA classes — makeup, hair styling, fashion, modeling — the same lessons Japanese students take. Your instructors are working professionals active in Tokyo's industry right now.

LUNCH — JUST HANG OUT

Eat with your classmates, swap beauty tips, laugh about the morning's styling challenge. These casual moments are where friendships — and the best memories — are made.

AFTERNOON — EXPLORE TOGETHER

Hit Harajuku's vintage shops, check out the latest Shibuya trends, grab crepes in Takeshita Street. No guided tours — just you and your new friends exploring the city that sets the trends.

THE RESULT — WEEKS YOU'LL NEVER FORGET

Skills from real pros. Friendships with Japanese students who share your passion. Confidence in your own style. And stories you'll tell for the rest of your life — all from a few weeks in Tokyo.

* We're preparing a short-term experience program (a few weeks). Details on duration, dates, and fees coming soon. Join the waitlist to be the first to know.

Student Voice
I barely spoke any Japanese, and it didn't matter at all. The girl next to me in class taught me a makeup technique just by showing me — and I taught her my braiding style. By lunch we were best friends. No words needed.
