Thanks everyone again for your replys and information, and thanks those links were useful. It seems after reading a few posts on other sites and lots of researching that there are the only two short courses options for a non (fluent) Japanese speaker to gain any sort of basic training in Shiatsu.
The full one year Japan Shiatsu College course http://www.shiatsu.ac.jp/english/school.html
would be great if it was offered to international students without Level 2 proficiency in Japanese speaking reading and writing and with a view not to practising in Japan, ie. not requiring a Japan Practitioners Licence on completion but only a Dip or some form of proper certification.
The Kimura Shiatsu Institute
http://www.shiatsu-k.com/english.htm
also offers a small course in English (for Y5000 an hour one day a week?).
The two courses offered for English speakers with both places look great for someone hoping to help people/family/friends privately but not on a professional basis. With only a total of 25 hours odd of training they can't be anything but casual hands on courses with no theory. Alas, I guess its just not lucrative for a school in Japan to offer long term serious Shiatsu training to non Japanese speakers.
Thanks again for your info! If any more options come to light pls let me know!

Hello,
Does anyone out there know of any longterm Shiatsu courses (6 months or more full or part time) offered in Japan that are taught in English and giving certification on completion?
I have exhausted all internet searching with no joy, any leads/information greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Cheers Dave for the reply, I had a hick up at the airport and was overweight 11kg with my board and kit, they wanted 350NZ$ so I told her to stick it and had to leave them in storage at the airport. Such is the times with airlines and weight restrictions. Bummer but theres always the next NZ season to look 4wd to,
Cheers dude
