With Asia-leading education quality, a safe and stable social environment, and geographical proximity to China, Japan has become one of the most attractive destinations for Chinese students seeking further study and personal growth.

We provide professional, personalized planning and application support across three main routes: high school to university, university to graduate school, and Japanese language school admission, covering the entire journey so you can proceed with confidence at every step.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about study planning and topics of concern to families
Q1. When is the best time to start preparing to study in Japan?
We recommend planning 1.5–2 years in advance. High school students should start Japanese and EJU preparation in grade 11, while students aiming for graduate school should get started in the second half of their junior year. The earlier you start, the more at ease you'll be.
Q2. Can I apply with zero Japanese proficiency?
Yes. Based on your target schools and schedule, we create a learning path from scratch up to N5–N1 and provide corresponding language school admission support.
Q3. How much does one year of studying in Japan cost in total?
Language school costs approximately RMB 120,000–150,000 per year, national and public universities around RMB 100,000–120,000 per year, and private universities RMB 120,000–180,000 per year, including tuition, living expenses, and basic costs. We'll recommend the right plan for your budget.
Q4. What is the SGU program? Is it right for me?
SGU is a government-backed English-medium degree program in Japan. Applications are entirely in English with no Japanese required, making it especially suitable for students with strong English scores who want to enter directly. We'll assess your fit based on your background.

Mainly the financial supporter's documents and bank deposit certificates. We provide a document checklist and procedural guide in advance to minimize hassle for families and ensure a smooth visa process.
