Marco L.
Lo staff che mi ha seguito è stato impeccabile. Molto disponibile, preciso e paziente nel fornirmi tutte le informazioni di cui avevo bisogno.
Pierre
Excellente plateforme, offrant de nombreuses façons d'étudier au Japon selon le niveau, avec des explications claires sur chaque option ainsi que les possibilités ensuite. J'ai été accepté à l'école ISI Shibuya-Harajuku grâce à un support réactif, à l'écoute et qui nous aide à chaque étape de la composition du dossier, du choix de l'école jusqu'à l'acceptation par celle-ci (un grand merci à Pauline et Hanae qui se sont occupé de mon dossier !).

Silvia was a huge help in the application process! Thanks to her, I am able to make my dream of studying in Japan a reality.
Ellen Svensson W.
Har fått superbra hjälp med att välja skola i Japan, hitta boende, hur jag ska gå till väga med att söka CSN samt hela visum processen! På Gogo Nihons hemsida så finns det även massor av bra och hjälpsam information om hur det är att bo och studera i Japan, skillnaden mellan olika skolor eller boenden samt en miniräknare där man kan uppskatta levnadskostnaderna. Rekommenderar att använda GoGo Nihon om man är intresserad av att studera i Japan! 🙂
Tomasz G.
I found this organisation through my friend and I am extremely happy with the amount of support I have received in joining a language school and finding accommodation through them. Silvia and her team have been extremely helpful and I am extremely excited for what the future in Japan has in store for me. Thank you very much, I truly appreciate all the help I have received.
Response from the owner:Hello Tomasz, thank you for your review! We're happy to be helping you throughout the whole process!

Go! Go! Nihon è eccezionale per chi desidera vivere al meglio l’esperienza dello studio in Giappone.
Grazie a Mara e al team di Go! Go! Nihon ho potuto coronare il sogno di vivere la scuola giapponese, per ben due volte! In entrambi i casi la mia coordinatrice, Mara, è stata estremamente gentile e precisa nel darmi tutte le informazioni di cui avevo bisogno.
Tramite la piattaforma online e i webinar, lo staff risponde con rapidità a tutti i dubbi che possono sorgere e offre supporto nella scelta dell’alloggio e della scuola.
Ringrazio ancora Mara per la sua grande professionalità e disponibilità e consiglio a chiunque voglia studiare in una scuola giapponese di affidarsi a Go! Go! Nihon!
Response from the owner:Ciao Yasmine, Grazie mille per le belle parole sul nostro servizio! Ci fa piacere sentire che ti sei trovata bene con il nostro supporto e con la consulente responsabile della tua iscrizione 🙂 Ti auguriamo in bocca al lupo per i corsi di lingua e buon viaggio!
Arianna P.
Sinceramente non so come avrei fatto senza di loro a organizzare tutto (ci ho provato e ho rinunciato abbastanza in fretta).

Oltre ad essere un servizio completamente gratuito, è stato utilissimo a:
1) restringere il campo della ricerca di scuole, agenzie per trovare una sistemazione, assicurazione sanitaria ecc (da sola avrei perso tantissimo tempo)
2) fornire una to-do list di tutte le cose da fare con scadenze realistiche (in autonomia mi sarei sicuramente dimenticata qualcosa o mi sarei mossa in ritardo non essendo particolarmente esperta)
3) avere la sicurezza di essere messa in contatto con fornitori affidabili e verificati
4) evitarmi incomprensioni derivate dal non saper parlare bene il giapponese
5) il semplice fatto di sapere che anche se verrò catapultata dall'altra parte del mondo da sola ho un sistema su cui fare affidamento, di persone che non solo capiscono la mia lingua ma sanno come muoversi.

Un grazie speciale a Clarissa che mi ha seguito in tutto il processo ed è sempre stata gentilissima e disponibile ❤️
Response from the owner:Ciao Arianna, Grazie mille per la recensione! Ci fa piacere sentire che ti sei trovata bene con il nostro supporto e con la consulente responsabile della tua iscrizione 🙂 Ti auguriamo in bocca al lupo per i corsi di lingua e speriamo di incontrarci!

Mi sono trovata bene. Rispondono velocemente (considerando la differenza di fuso orario) e offrono diversi mezzi di supporto e informazione che ho trovato utili.
Response from the owner:Ciao Vale, Grazie per la recensione! Ci fa piacere sentire che ti sei trovata bene con il nostro supporto 🙂 Ti auguriamo in bocca al lupo per i corsi di lingua e buon viaggio!
Simona P.
Esperienza più che positiva, come sempre. Non è la prima volta che usufruisco dei loro servizi e, come volevasi dimostrare, si sono rivelate persone efficienti, disponibili e cortesi pronte ad aiutare per la qualunque. Ogni dubbio viene spazzato via e ci tengo a ringraziare in particolare Mara e a Veronica che mi hanno seguito durante le numerose pratiche da portare avanti per un trasferimento così importante. 5 stelle, forza GoGo Nihon! 🌟

I had so much fun on my trip, and going through Go Go Nihon where they built a program and their activities made the trip not only that much more fun and exiting but also approachable, since this way I wasnt traveling to a brand new country on my own with no direction. The classes were great, the people were great, and im so excited to go again next year!
Response from the owner:Hello Antonio, thank you for your review! We're so happy you enjoyed your trip with us and we can't wait to see you again next year!
