Program Overview

You want to really improve your Japanese and study directly in Japan? This program offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the language and culture through a long-term study program.

Partnering with accredited language schools in major cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Nagano, our program allows you to obtain a student visa, enabling you to stay and study in Japan for 6 months to 2 years. To be eligible for the student visa, you must have a high school diploma, be no older than 55, and have sufficient financial means to afford your stay.

You can choose from a variety of courses, including Conversation and Intensive Japanese, catering to all levels from beginner to advanced. Our program also provides comprehensive job support, helping you find part-time work to cover living expenses. If you stay for longer than a year, this support comes at no extra cost!

Furthermore, we offer convenient accommodation options in shared houses and homestays, but you can also arrange your own accommodation! This gives you full flexibility over your stay.

With support available every step of the way, this is a fantastic opportunity for serious students of Japanese.
