Study and live in Japan is an exciting step—but planning it can quickly feel overwhelming. From choosing the right language school and meeting application deadlines to finding accommodation and understanding part-time work rules, there’s a lot to consider before you arrive.
To make the process easier, we created the Coto School Finder Study & Live in Japan Guidebook (2026). This free guide is designed to support you at every stage of your journey, whether you’re just starting your research or preparing to submit your application.
