Is it really free?

Yes. Our partner schools pay us a commission when you enroll, so our help costs you nothing. You only pay the school’s own tuition and fees.

For a long-term course on a student visa you need basic Japanese — level A1, for example JLPT N5 or JFT-Basic A1 — confirmed by a test or an interview. Most short-term courses accept complete beginners.

Start 6–12 months before you want to begin: the school needs time to apply for your Certificate of Eligibility. For the April 2027 intake, applications close on 31 October 2026.

Yes, with a student visa and work permission from immigration: up to 28 hours a week, and up to 8 hours a day during the school’s long holidays.

Many partner schools offer a dormitory or a share house for the first months. We help you choose and apply.
