# Coto School Finder

> Coto School Finder is a free Japanese language school matching and student visa support service, powered by Coto Academy. It matches prospective students with the right Japanese language school in Japan and guides them through the student visa process from application to arrival.

Coto School Finder draws on 25+ years of Japanese language teaching experience to recommend schools based on a student's goals, budget, and timeline rather than commissions. The service has supported 5,000+ students from 90+ nationalities. It covers school matching, document preparation, Certificate of Eligibility (COE) support, visa application guidance, and post-arrival community support through the Kizuna Network.
