The appeal of this place is low cost of living andenvironment where you can focus on studies.
Learn Japanese while enjoying nature.

In addition, the cost of living is low and I have a lot of fun

to do my best in my studies at the university.
I participated in the University Preparation Program at MANABI Language School
Tokyo for two years. I am currently a first-year student at Nishogakusha University,
studying in the Department of International Politics and Economics. International
Relations is especially interesting because I can understand world history andrelations. Law and Japanese history are difficult, but I am doing my best.
I have made many friends, both Japanese and from other countries, and I am
enjoying my time.
Some of the studies at MANABI were difficult, such as Kanji and EJU reading
comprehension classes, but the teachers were all kind and taught me many things,
which I enjoyed.
I also enjoyed the activities to experience Japanese culture before graduation, etc. I
learned many things at MANABI and my Japanese level has improved, which has
helped me to do my best in my current university life.

Each month, an individual schedule is set with the instructor. This
made it possible for me to smoothly prepare for practical examinations
and interviews. I successfully passed both Tama Art University andJoshibi University of Art and Design!
In MANABI's art classes, students speak only Japanese with Japaneseteachers. Thanks to this, I was able to naturally acquire art terminology.
I also learned how to express myself in Japanese in art Japanese, so I
was able to make use of it in my essays and interviews.

I struggled with the interview test. It was mycareer support teacher who helped me.
The students around me in the class spoke
excellent Japanese, and we enjoyeddiscussing not only Japanese language but
also Japanese culture and customs with eachother in friendly competition.
I did not know anything about finding a job inJapan at first, but the teachers provided mewith various support such as how to prepare
my PR, how to look for a job, and how topractice interviewing. Without this program, I
might have given up on finding a job in Japanand chosen to return to my home country. I
made many mistakes, but with the support andencouragement of my teachers, I believe that I
am the person I am today.
For those of you who are thinking about findinga job, I encourage you to take on thischallenge with the determination not to give up
until the very end!
