This is the best experience I could have asked for! They have so much information to provide, and I feel very prepared for my upcoming study abroad journey. Not only do they help you find a school and connect you to accommodations, they also provide step by step help when you make your tuition payment and getting a visa! My coordinator is always ready to answer any questions I have and is very nice! If you are thinking about studying in Japan, this is the best way to do it!

Recommandé par ma meilleure amie qui a étudié au Japon 1 an dans une école à Tokyo, jusqu'à présent (mon inscription à l'école viens d'être validée) la personne nommée Pauline a répondu à mes (très) nombreuses questions au sujet des écoles et ce, toujours dans des délais très courts. Les retours sur mon dossiers ont également toujours été rapides concernant les pièces manquantes et semble efficace puisque je viens d'être accepté par l'école. J'espère que cela continueras ensuite au moment de la décision des logements et autres démarches qui suivent mais pour l'instant aucun problème !
Response from the owner: Bonjour Tommy, merci pour votre commentaire ! C'est avec plaisir que nous vous aidons dans vos projets d'études au Japon.

Great service! Applying for schools in another country is a daunting process and it was really helpful having a team to hold my hand through everything.My coordinator Sean was always quick to respond and able to answer all the random questions that came up. He also caught a mistake in my application, which may have saved me from delays, complications, or maybe even rejection.I'm grateful for this service and I definitely recommend going through them for additional convenience and peace of mind.

Go! Go! Nihon has made the entire process of applying to a Japanese language school so much easier for me and my sister!Since it was our first time, we had no knowledge of the process of sending important information and documents to the language schools, but with the help of Go! Go! Nihon and our amazing coordinator, May, we were able to understand each step to successfully transition into Japanese language school.Not only did Go! Go! Nihon and our coordinator, May, help us apply for language school, but they also assisted me and my sister in find a suitable Homestay that could accomodate both of us living together! Before this, I was wondering if it was possible to live together in this way, but we were happy to find out that it is as long as you start the process as early as possible.Overall, we are happy with the support of Go! Go! Nihon throughout every step of the process. Their guidance truly helped ease any worries or doubts we had. We feel much more confident and prepared for our new life in Japan, and we're very thankful for everything Go! Go! Nihon has done to help us get to where we are now and more. I highly recommend Go! Go! Nihon for anyone getting started with Japanese language school!

Using GoGoNihon!'s services to assist in our journey to live and study in Japan was the best decision we ever made. Every step of the way, they were able to help us navigate the endless trail of paperwork that was needed for the application process. Our coordinator, May, was the best - we couldn't have done any of this without her expertise. She was always very responsive, super-friendly and had an answer for any question we had for her. Highly recommended! Arigato gozaimasu GoGoNihon!!!

Moving to Japan to study super easy. They guided me through every step, and the process felt smooth and streamlined! They were quick to answer questions and explained things clearly, and it's really nice to have a middleman to help people get around Japan's complicated visa and immigration system!If you're thinking about studying in Japan but don’t know where to start, Go! Go! Nihon is a great place to begin. They helped me with making the whole thing way less overwhelming.

Extremely helpful, I thought I knew what I needed to do to apply for a language school before I found out about gogonihon but I was very wrong. The process is very long and difficult but with help from gogonihon it became easy. They are kind and patient. Everything has gone very smoothly for me and recommend using gogonihon if you also want a easy and smooth process

Hi! I participated twice at gogonihon’s studytrips 😉 one in Tokyo back in 2019 and one this year 2025 in Osaka. I stayed in Tokyo for about a month and a half and I had so much fun that I wanted to do it again in another city and why not in Osaka ! Osaka was sooo different than Tokyo, the people are more open, have more time and are so fun to talk to, just like in Italy where there are differences between northern and southern people… I really enjoyed every afternoon activity that we had, such as cooking class and the ninja experience and many more… we had Japanese classes in the morning, very challenging at the beginning, but with the time it gets better 🫣👍🏼 I really love the gogo team, because they’re so helpful and funny too!If you want to experience Japan as a local, but you don’t have so much time because of work, I recommend the studytrips that last 3 weeks. For sure my next time experience would be the Akita one 😉 when I have time again I will do that ! I just love Japan and to be able to experience it as local is a plus for me and I think for some of you too ! Book and you won’t regret it! Big thumbs up to Mara, Crystal, Ana and Jose ! Great people !Ciao from Michela 🥰✌🏼
Response from the owner: Hello Michela, thank you for your review! We’re so happy you enjoyed both your Study Trips with us and love seeing the photos of your trip 😊

Bonjour GoGo Nihon,Je souhaitais vous remercier dans un premier temps, tout d'abord pour tout le temps que vous m'avez accordé et les réponses qui m'ont été données à des moments où j'en avais le plus besoin (moments de doutes et d'anxieté) ces informations et ces réponses ont été très précieuses dans la décision de cette formation que j'attends avec impatience et qui débutera en juillet 2025.Je souhaitais remercier toute l'équipe de GoGo Nihon pour tout ce que vous m'avez apporté, et tout particulièrement Pauline qui a été en charge de mon dossier, qui a su m'aider dans les moments de doutes et d'incertitudes vis-à-vis de la durée que je souhaitais prendre.Aditionally, I wanted of course to thank my supervisor Ayaka from Japan who was in charge of my file and all of my paperworks for the Visa application. I wanted to deeply thank her because she was really kind to me during the interview in Japanese. I was a bit stressed during that moment because it was my real first time talking with a Japanese native. She spoke to me with patience, not too fast as in daily conversation but not too slow, in order to introduce my ears to the upcoming Japanese I will learn.So thanks for everything, thanks a lot everyone.We'll see each other soon while learning some Japanese.Gautier GUSTIN

My boyfriend and I used GGN to assist with the process of getting to Japan. Through a student visa, we have been able to apply for up to 1 year and 3 months, with potential for 2 years!We went language school route since we both already have higher education degrees and wanted to learn Japanese as part of our eventual move there. The fact that GGN lists all the information about the schools so you can choose is pretty cool. They work as the middleman for you in a process that can probably be very sensitive. School application, visa and Immigration stuff.They have places and businesses that they are partnered with but you don't have to use them and there was no pressure to.Saskia and Layna were super helpful when we had questions.Only issue was (maybe just for the April start term) but we were very stressed towards the end because of the Japanese process of getting the COE and Visa before you can get a place to live made the window really tight for getting a place and we ended up not having a lot of time to find somewhere to live for 2 years - because the COE came a month before school started and you have to make an appt with the Embassy to turn it into a Visa which can take a week or so. And most places require a month before move in (and several places said no because we were foreign students) so that was very stressful - but not GGN's fault!Overall its great that there is a tool to help with the process of moving to Japan and there was really no cost to utilize their services!Its a great took if you don't know where or how to start as they know all the steps and processes and even have a bunch of helpful tips and links and videos.
Response from the owner: Hi Alex, thank you for your review! We're happy we could help you and your boyfriend come to Japan. We hope you will enjoy your studies here and wish the best!
