Introduction to colleges and universities in Japan that we are representing

The Strengths of Our Service:

With our extensive and in-depth cooperation with Japanese universities and colleges, we have successfully helped over a thousand Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwanese and Australian as well as European students study in Japanese colleges/universities.
The colleges and universities that we represent are located in all major cities in Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Kobe, Kyoto, Nagoya, Fukuoka and various places in Shikoku, Kyushu and Hokkaido.
We aim to recommend quality and creditable colleges/universities for students based on our extensive relationships with quality Japanese institutions. Our previous experience shows that the students who have gone to study in Japan are all very satisfied with our recommendations and services afterwards.
We aim to handle students’ applications for colleges/universities and student visas in a careful and professional manner. We therefore enjoy a comparatively higher rate of student accepted by colleges/universities as well as the higher rate of issuance of “Certificate of Eligibility” by the Japanese Ministry of Justice through the Japanese Bureau of Immigration.
Meticulous care, whole-hearted dedication, high professionalism and rich experience are the basis for our excellent past records in terms of student number, rate of institute admission and visa issuing rate and student satisfaction in our application for study in Japanese colleges, institutes and universities.
