Average Age of Students Studying in Japan
34% of students are aged 25-29
While that's the average age range, we've helped students of all ages, from 18 years old (the minimum requirement to study in Japan) to 50 and older. Every student is unique, and immigration or schools may want more information depending on age, but we're experienced with this.
Where Our Students Come From
Supporting students from 90 nationalities
52% of our students are from the United States, United Kingdom, and France, but we've helped students from Colombia, Switzerland, Italy, Brazil, the Netherlands, Canada, South Korea, India, and dozens of other countries navigate the process of enrolling in a Japanese language school. Each nationality comes with its own visa requirements and documentation, and our multilingual team is equipped to walk you through yours.
Starting Japanese Level
Most of our students come to Japan as beginners
Three out of four students we work with are just starting their Japanese language journey. One of the most common questions we get is about the minimum Japanese study hours required before enrolling in a language school in Japan. Our team stays current on these requirements and helps you meet them before you apply, so a lack of experience doesn't hold you back.
Education Background
Two-thirds of our students hold a university degree
68% of our students hold a bachelor's or master's degree, often with the goal of working in Japan after completing their language studies. The remaining students come to Japan with a high school diploma, which is enough for enrolling in most Japanese language schools.
Your education level shapes your options and long-term goals in Japan. We help students understand what their background qualifies them for and map out next steps accordingly.
