Benesse Corporation (Headquarters: Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture; President: Daisuke Iwase) has announced that Kazuyoshi Iritani, head of its study-abroad cram school 'Route H' for top international universities, will speak at a talk event held at the 'International Education Fair 2026 Spring' in Tokyo on Saturday, May 30, 2026.

The International Education Fair 2026 Spring is one of Japan's largest educational events, providing the latest information on international education, English language learning, and studying abroad. The event will feature a variety of exhibits, talks, and workshops for school officials, educators, parents, and students.

The talk event featuring Iritani, head of Route H, is part of a program where experts from various fields—including school leaders, admissions professionals, entrepreneurs, and educational influencers—deepen discussions on topics gaining attention in international education. The title of the session is 'Considering Overseas University Study with Yanai Tadashi Foundation Scholars—Real Presentations from Future Top University Students.' As a pioneer in study-abroad prep with a track record of producing numerous successful applicants since its founding in 2009, Route H has organized this program to invite several graduates who are scheduled to enroll in top overseas universities this fall as Yanai Tadashi Foundation scholars. Together with staff from the Yanai Tadashi Foundation, they will share real, up-to-date experiences on why they pursued overseas study, how they approached their learning, extracurricular activities, and exam preparation.

Iritani will serve as the navigator, facilitating the discussion, as well as providing explanations on the latest trends in overseas study and key points for junior and senior high school students considering global career paths.

Speakers: - Route H Graduates (Yanai Tadashi Foundation Scholars) - Yanai Tadashi Foundation Staff - Kazuyoshi Iritani (Head of Route H, Benesse Corporation)

Additionally, Momoka Matsufuji, the official ambassador for 'Benesse's Online Cram School' brand (including Route H) since the 2025 fiscal year, is scheduled to visit the Route H booth around 15:00 on the day of the event.
