Your next chapter,
step by step.

We’ll review your plans and introduce you to school staff by email.

  • Free for students
  • Direct communication
  • Payments directly to schools
  1. Step 1

    Explore and compare schools

    Browse Find Schools and use the filters to explore destinations, course options and study goals. Open school profiles for more details, or select two or three schools to compare their courses, support and fees side by side.

    Think about where you would like to live, how long you want to study and what you hope to achieve. Browsing and comparing schools is free.

  2. Step 2

    Tell us about your study plans

    Click “Inquire about this school” on a school profile, or “Contact selected schools” after comparing schools. Complete one inquiry for up to three schools, including your preferred start date, Japanese level and questions.

    You can review and change your school selections before sending. With your consent, we’ll share the information you provide with your selected schools.

    Sending an inquiry is free and carries no commitment to enroll.

  3. Step 3

    Get introduced and talk directly

    Study Japan Your Way will review your inquiry and contact you if we need to clarify anything. We’ll then introduce you to your selected schools by email, with you included in the conversation.

    From there, communicate directly with school staff about suitable courses, current fees, availability, application requirements and your study goals.

    School information can change, and every student’s plans are different. Getting answers directly from the schools helps reduce misunderstandings, confirm current details and plan a study experience that suits you.

    Exchanging a few emails also lets you compare each school’s answers, responsiveness and support. This can give you greater confidence when choosing your school.

  4. Step 4

    Choose, apply and pay directly

    Take time to compare the schools’ responses and decide which option suits you. When you are ready, follow your chosen school’s application process and send any required documents directly to the school.

    All tuition and other school fees are paid directly to your chosen school, following the school’s payment instructions.

    Study Japan Your Way never asks students to pay us any fees. We do not collect or hold tuition payments. Your school handles its application and payment process directly with you.

You stay in control

You choose which schools receive your inquiry and which school you would like to attend. Compare their courses, fees and communication before deciding. An inquiry carries no enrollment commitment.

Check the latest details

Profiles may be based on publicly available information. Check each profile’s listing information and confirm current courses, fees and availability directly with the school.

Does it cost anything to use this service?

Browsing schools, comparing your options and requesting introductions are free for students. Study Japan Your Way never charges students service or introduction fees.

You pay tuition and other school fees directly to your chosen school. We never collect or hold those payments.

What happens after I send an inquiry?

We aim to review your inquiry within two business days. If we need more information, we’ll contact you before introducing you to your selected schools.

After the introduction, you can communicate directly with each school. School response times vary.
