Go! Go! Nihon Student Interview - My from Sweden - Intercultural Institute
Excellent
alright _.
Agréablement surprise! J’ai été accompagné et bien renseigné durant toute ma demande. Facile pour communiquer et rapide en considérant que nous vivons sur différentes plages horaires. Je recommande si vous souhaitez partir au Japon une première fois ou encore une fois !

Gogonihon permette a molti giovani come me, interessati a studiare la lingua giapponese in Giappone, di realizzare un sogno, affiancandoci costantemente nelle pratiche burocratiche e legali necessarie. La consulente che ha seguito la mia iscrizione è Mara e davvero non avrei potuto chiedere di meglio. Mi ha aiutato per qualsiasi problema o domanda avessi e le devo molto.
simone C.
Non posso che esprimere la mia più sincera gratitudine a Go! Go! Nihon: il loro supporto durante il mio trasferimento in Giappone è stato semplicemente straordinario. Mi hanno accompagnato in ogni fase del processo, spiegando tutto con chiarezza e guidandomi passo passo, anche nelle procedure più complesse legate al mio status di ex-residente.

Ciò che mi ha davvero colpito è stata la combinazione perfetta di competenza, efficienza e umanità: ogni mia domanda ha ricevuto risposta con prontezza, ogni dettaglio è stato gestito con attenzione e precisione, e la loro pazienza è stata infinita. Grazie a loro, un percorso che sembrava complesso e stressante è diventato semplice, sicuro e persino piacevole.

Se state pensando di trasferirvi in Giappone, non esitate: Go! Go! Nihon non offre solo assistenza, ma una vera partnership che rende l’intera esperienza fluida, sicura e incredibilmente gratificante.

lena L.
im only in japan right now thanks to gogo nihon. they're incredibly helpful, resourceful and always reply fast, making the very difficult process of applying to a language school managable. i actually cant believe that their services are for free, since they go all the way to help you, its truly incredible. not only that, they offer many solutions for new students to feel welcome and facilite their process of accomodating to japan by organizing field trips and parties. i want to especially thank reinaldi who was my personal advisor and helped me every step of the way. thank you so much gogo nihon!!!!!!
Maria V.
Servizio usato due volte per studiare in Giappone, impeccabile e super affidabile!
In particolare, una nota di merito a Mara che mi ha accompagnato passo per passo, togliendomi qualsiasi dubbio (o preoccupazione), anche il più piccolo.

Sempre cordiali e velocissimi nelle risposte.
Se volete studiare in Giappone per un breve periodo o per un lungo periodo, affidatevi a loro!
Complimenti ragazzi!!!
Sara G.
Partirò ad ottobre per Tokyo, senza l’aiuto di go go nihon non avrei saputo da che parte cominciare. Mi hanno assistito per ogni passaggio da effettuare prima della partenza.
Red S.
Per fortuna esiste GoGoNihon! Fare tutto da soli sarebbe stato impossibile, invece grazie al loro aiuto in tutti i passaggi (scuola, casa, visto, ecc) è stato semplicissimo!
Matilde
Veramente cordiali e disponibili! Sono stato fantastici ad aiutarmi, non solo con le innumerevoli pratiche, ma anche a calmare l'ansia avendo la pazienza di calmare OGNI mio dubbio. Grazie mille davvero!
Giovanni I.
Grazie a Go Go Nihon la mia iscrizione a una scuola di lingua in Giappone è stata semplicissima! Si occupano di qualsiasi passaggio burocratico, seguendoti passo passo nell'invio dei documenti necessari e nello svolgimento delle varie formalità. Istruzioni dettagliate, tanti consigli utili e un servizio di assistenza personale sempre rapido e preciso (un ringraziamento particolare a Veronica!), il tutto senza alcun costo di servizio!
Jacopo G.
Professionali e sempre disponibili per rispondere a ogni domanda, affidarmi a loro è stata la scelta giusta per iniziare il mio percorso verso il Giappone con tranquillità.
Il loro aiuto in ogni fase della preparazione è stato prezioso: dalla scelta della scuola alle procedure per l'immigrazione e la ricerca di un alloggio in Giappone.
Consiglio vivamente i loro servizi a chiunque voglia fare quest'esperienza all'estero!
Ermanno G.
Servizio impeccabile.
Gaia N.
Agenzia super efficiente e rapida nelle risposte. Ti guidano praticamente in tutto e sanno indicarti e consigliarti le soluzioni migliori per il tuo viaggio studio in Giappone sempre con gentilezza e dedizione. Assolutamente consigliati. Un grosso ringraziamento a Gianluca che ha seguito tutto il mio percorso con attenzione e pazienza.
Nicolò M.
Ho sempre pensato che andare a vivere in Giappone fosse impossibile, un sogno irrealizzabile, fino a quando un giorno scorrendo su Instagram mi ritrovo un “Benvenuto in Giappone” nella pagina di GoGoNihon Italia. Mi sono iniziato ad informare su tutte le varie cose e col tempo ho capito che poteva non essere solo un sogno ma poteva diventare realtà. È iniziato tutto 2 anni fa e ora eccomi qui, a 2 settimane dalla partenza per Tokyo, con il mio sogno a portata di mano, con GoGoNihon, il mio consulente Gianluca mi ha aiutato in tutti i vari passaggi che da solo erano troppo complicati, ma spiegati passo dopo passo mi hanno permesso di fare le cose come si deve e ora é tutto pronto per la partenza. Sono veramente felice di essermi affidato a loro e ormai sono arrivato al mio sogno, super consigliato per chiunque voglia fare un esperienza simile in Giappone! Grazie GoGoNihon e grazie Gianluca!

Go Go Nihon has helped make my dream of living and studying abroad in Japan possible!! Layna was absolutely amazing -- she helped me pick a school, answered all of my questions, responded quickly, was very thorough each step of the way, and was super kind throughout the entire process. The Go Go dashboard is also super easy to use and made the entire application process seamless. It was about a 6-7 month timeline from start to finish, so make sure to plan ahead! HIGHLY RECOMMEND GO GO NIHON!!
Andrea M.
Go! Go! Nihon è stato fantastico nell’aiutarmi ad andare in Giappone. Sono stato seguito da Mara e posso ritenermi più che soddisfatto del lavoro che ha fatto aiutandomi a trovare una Scuola di Giapponese che fa al caso mio e fornendomi tutti gli strumenti necessari per la ricerca dell’alloggio. Consiglio fortemente a chiunque voglia vivere questa esperienza in Giappone di rivolgervi a loro perché a costo zero vi daranno tutte le informazioni necessarie per poter iscriversi ad un corso in totale relax!
Greg L.
Je tiens à remercier toute l’équipe de Go! Go! Nihon pour leur soutien extraordinaire tout au long de mon dossier. Dès le début, leur dashboard est très clair et facilite énormément toutes les démarches (scolaires, administratives…).

Ils sont très réactifs, même avec le décalage horaire, ce qui m’a permis de corriger ou modifier les documents rapidement quand cela était nécessaire.

Un merci particulier à Pauline et Hanae qui ont pris en charge mon dossier avec professionnalisme et efficacité, même dans des délais courts.
Esther L.
L’équipe de Go Go Nihon a été d’une aide infinie pour sélectionner, postuler et s’inscrire dans une des écoles de langues japonaises. J’ai été suivie par Nora et Hanae qui ont été très réactives et efficaces pour la constitution du dossier, je suis ravie du résultat n’hésitez pas foncez !

Un superbe accomapgnement de A à Z. Pauline et Hanae ont été super et vraiment professionnel, le travail et la réaction de Pauline a juste été au top.

Je recommande fortement, encore merci Pauline et Hanae pour tout ce professionnalisme et continuez comme cela.

Gente, o que dizer dessa consultoria de intercâmbio? Só tenho elogios desde o primeiro contato! Conheci por indicação de um colega e, como sempre sonhei em fazer intercâmbio no Japão, procurei a ajuda deles — e foi a melhor decisão que eu poderia ter tomado.

Desde o início, foram extremamente atenciosos. Cada dúvida, cada receio que eu tinha, eles estavam lá para esclarecer e orientar. O processo como um todo foi excelente: me ajudaram a escolher a escola que mais se encaixava nas minhas necessidades, traduziram e enviaram os documentos para o Japão, deram todo o suporte para a solicitação do visto, orientaram sobre como levar medicações, indicaram imobiliárias e tantas outras coisas que nem imaginava.

Tudo é feito com muito cuidado e carinho. Eles até preparam materiais explicativos, em português, para guiar o preenchimento de formulários obrigatórios de entrada no Japão (só o contato com as imobiliárias foi em inglês).

Quero deixar um agradecimento especial à Nina, que me acompanhou em cada etapa com dedicação e paciência. Agora, em outubro, embarco para o Japão com tudo pronto e me sentindo super tranquila.

Recomendo de coração essa consultoria a todos que sonham em viver essa experiência!
Response from the owner:Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência conosco! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que conseguimos oferecer o suporte necessário em cada etapa do processo e que você se sentiu acolhida e bem orientada. Nosso objetivo é justamente tornar o caminho para o intercâmbio mais leve e seguro, para que cada estudante possa embarcar confiante nessa nova fase. Desejamos que sua experiência e estudos no Japão seja incrível e repleta de aprendizados! Conte sempre conosco no que precisar, mesmo após a sua chegada.
Norah Bloyer L.
Merci à Go! Go! Nihon et plus particulièrement Pauline et à sa collègue de m’avoir accompagné tout au long du processus des préparatifs pour le Japon. Tout s’est très bien passé avec leur aide à mes côtés. Ils ont été là pour répondre à mes questions. Le service a été rapide et clair. Je n’ai plus qu’à attendre mon départ maintenant . Merci beaucoup !

I’m really happy to have chosen Go! Go! Nihon to find a school in Japan and to help me! Without the help of Pauline and Moko, I would not have been able to go study in Japan. The process was well explained, and all my questions were answered in a clear and friendly way. I highly recommend everybody to use Go! Go! Nihon (and their online courses).

Pour mes amis francophones, sachez que vous serez aidés pour les traductions depuis le français, donc n’hésitez pas !

I had an incredible experience with Go Go Nihon while enrolling in a Japanese language school. The entire process was so friendly and straightforward. My enrollment counselor, Layna, was especially helpful and responsive. She patiently walked me through all the steps and made what could have been a confusing process completely painless.

Layna also connected me with student housing partners, which was a huge help in finding an apartment close to my school. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to get everything arranged seamlessly.

I highly recommend Go Go Nihon for anyone considering a study abroad program in Japan.
Response from the owner:Hi, thank you for your review! We're happy we could help you throughout the whole process.

My husband and I applied for Oct 2025 semester to study Japanese long term through Go! Go! Nihon. This was a clear and straightforward process thanks to Saskia! She helped us select a school, provided full support every step of the way, gave us all the details we needed, and ensured meeting all deadlines for the application. Thank you, Go! Go! Nihon and Saskia for the seamless experience, much appreciated!

Dmytro
When we decided to attend a language school in Japan, some light research lead us to GoGoNihon as one of the most recommended conduits for the application process. I can now see why, although this was our first time using a service like this, and it was very straightforward and simple. Special thanks to our coordinator Saskia for answering all of our questions and helping us through the entire process! From recommending various language schools that could meet our needs to helping us through the actual application steps, she made the whole thing very easy! Now we are excited to start our classes in October!
Response from the owner:Hi, thank you for your review! We're happy we could help you throughout the whole process. We can't wait for you to start classes in October!
