Frequently asked questions
Straight answers—your consultation fills in the specifics of your profile.
Admissions
Ideally 10–14 months prior. Exams, translations, and faculty outreach often take longer than families expect.
Visa
The Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is issued in Japan; your student visa is stamped at the embassy after COE approval. Both narratives must align.
Costs
Plan tuition plus roughly ¥120k–¥180k monthly for living, depending on housing choices and lifestyle.
Language
Student visa holders may work up to 28 hours/week during term with proper permission. We brief you on permitted roles.
Accommodation
Dorms offer structure for first-year students; share houses teach independence. We weigh cost, commute, and family comfort.
