I am ever so grateful to Layna, May, and the GogoNihon team for making the opportunity to live & study in Japan a dream come true!I have yet to start my term, but can say that... Layna, my representative, was a tremendous help in making the application process a breeze. Not only did she spend the time to give me detailed instructions and resources, but she also made sure to always give timely feedback and updates. She was always available for additional clarification and questions, as well as transparent about timelines and processes. It was a pleasure working with her :-)The whole endeavor took about half a year, but such is to be expected when applying for a school -- and a school abroad at that. Each step of the way, however, moved quickly. GogoNihon is very tactical, organized, and communicative about what is needed, so it was easy to collate all materials and swiftly complete each task. They also have partnerships with other agencies -- such as accommodations -- which make it easy to plan and arrange the key logistics of what you'll need for your stay.I cannot wait to start my term, and have GogoNihon and the team to thank for helping me make it possible. GogoNihon is a gem of a service!read more

Long story short: the summer course was literally the best 4 weeks study trip and easily one of the best trips I've been part of so far. Fun japanese classes in the morning with... just the sweatest teachers ever and awesome activities in the afternoon with lots of nice people and the funniest guides. :)Huge thanks to my coordinator who even managed to extend my stay to 4 weeks last minute. <3read more

Haidyn K.

At first, I was a bit skeptical of this considering services are usually never free. But, after doing some research they are indeed real! If it weren’t for Go Go Nihon, I wouldn’t... be going to school in Japan let alone, be in Japan! Despite my process taking a bit longer…each coordinator I worked with was excellent and helped me with any questions or concerns that I had! Now, I’m attending a language school here in Tokyo! I never thought my dream would come true! Thank you Go Go Nihon!read more

Elena M.

Senza l'aiuto di Mara non credo avrei potuto realizzare il mio sogno di venire in Giappone.

Sono molto soddisfatta e non posso che consigliare a tutti Go go Nihon!read more

Go Go Nihon has been a great resource and point of contact with all things related to applying to language school in Japan and navigating all the requirements as well as their... connections with different lodging accommodations. Kristina, the person who helped me, was always very thorough and detailed in her responses and always available to answer any questions.The application process was fairly smooth and without incidents, albeit long. We applied mid-January for October term and didn't get any response from the GoGo Nihon until mid-April, so be patient as well. What I found helpful is that they review the application before sending it off to your school choice. Our school accepted us right away (late May), so our application was complete and detailed.Go Go Nihon recommends schools based on your goals in Japan and ultimately we chose a different school based on our own research. So I do encourage to start with their recommendations and then do your own research.Overall great experience and most importantly so happy that we got our school approval and student visa set.read more

If you are thinking about studying in Japan I highly recommend GoGO Nihon!The process of getting a student visa can be challenging if you do it on your own but, GoGo Nihon really... streamlines the process to make it as simple as it can be. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly and helped me out a ton with everything from school, accommodation and visa process to insurance, packing and arrival tips. Without their help, it would have been so much harder. It has been a pleasure to be in contact with May and her team!read more

Purtroppo non mi sono trovato bene con la mia responsabile. Quando le ho chiesto informazioni più specifiche sui corsi della scuola che avrei frequentato, mi ha risposto in... maniera vaga e inconcludente. Avrei preferito che mi dicesse che non lo sapeva o che avrebbe chiesto (o che avrei potuto chiedere io direttamente) alla scuola in questione. Per quanto riguarda l'alloggio, ho rischiato proprio di non averne uno. Meno di due mesi prima della partenza, avevo proposto alla responsabile una share house che per me sarebbe stata ideale e che si sarebbe liberata in concomitanza con il mio arrivo in Giappone, ma lei più di una volta mi ha risposto con messaggi precompilati dicendo che dovevamo seguire le loro tempistiche. Ho dunque aspettato e intanto la camera in questione è stata prenotata da altri. Quando è stato il momento, ho inviato una prima volta il form alle agenzie, ma sono stato molto specifico per cui non è colpa di nessuno se le opzioni che mi avevano proposto non mi avevano soddisfatto. Sotto consiglio della responsabile, ho provato ad essere più generico con i requisiti dell'alloggio e ho mandato un secondo form, ma nelle due settimane successive non ho ricevuto neanche un'opzione. Dunque ho dovuto prenotare un albergo (per diverse settimane e spendendo non poco) poiché l'unica sharehouse rimasta a 3 settimane dalla partenza e che soddisfava le mie esigenze sarebbe stata libera da fine ottobre. Ora che devo svolgere le pratiche burocratiche per entrare e registrarmi in Giappone non mi sento per nulla incentivato a chiedere assistenza a Go! Go! Nihon, visto che in questi mesi ho avuto un'esperienza decisamente poco soddisfacente.read more

Júlia

Para empezar, dicen ser un servicio gratuito, pero en realidad cobrar comisiones por cada estudiante que mandan a cualquiera de las escuelas con las que tienen convenio, cosa que... es completamente normal, pero no es normal que aun cobrando, tarden 8 años en responderte cada mensaje.Llevo más de un mes enviando y respondiendo mensajes, cosa que hubiera sido mucho más rápida si no se demoraran varios días en responder, incluso para una simple pregunta que les envió a primera hora de la mañana, son capaces de esperarse tranquilamente al día siguiente.Además, parece ser que solo te hacen caso cuando pagas, ya sea la tasa de inscripción, o, en mi caso, un curso de japonés online, que me niego pagar hasta que me dejen mandar la solicitud. Es que por favor, a quien se le ocurre preguntarte por cuando te vas a inscribir (pagar) a un curso cuando aún no habéis sido capaces de tramitar una simple solicitud al completo.read more

Go!Go!Nihon has been absolutely crucial for my experience with enrolling in a school and finding a place to stay in Japan. They respond quick and are very detailed with their... responses, making sure that your questions are answered in the best possible way. I am writing this from my place in Japan after my first week of school! I would not be here if it had been for their help. Also, their service is completely free, which I still find crazy for the amount of detail and help they have given me!

Mi sono affidata allo staff di GoGoNihon per fare esperienza in prima persona della buona reputazione del loro servizio. Ho deciso di vivere e studiare in giappone per tre mesi... per la prima volta un anno prima di partire, e non ho avuto nemmeno un attimo di ripensamento o ansia durante tutto il percorso. Ho constatato la loro serietà nel lavoro e sono diventati una certezza. 🙂 Se avrò desiderio di ritornare in Giappone dopo l'università, mi rivolgerò a loro ad occhi chiusi!read more

Un enorme grazie a tutto lo staff. Super gentili e disponibili, senza il loro aiuto sarebbe stato probabilmente impossibile per me far avverare questo sogno. Partirò a breve e... loro mi hanno aiutato fin da subito e in tutto, dai documenti per l'immigrazione, dall'iscrizione con la scuola e dalla ricerca dell'alloggio, le risposte son sempre chiare e tempestive, non ho trovato un solo lato negativo, è tutto organizzato perfettamente e nei minimi dettagli (anche dal punto di vista informatico, la pagina personale, dove poter comunicare e ricevere la documentazione, è ben organizzata e di facile comprensione).Inoltre nel loro sito e blog è possibile trovare un sacco di informazioni utili sulla vita, essenziali a mio parere per poter condurre serenamente la permanenza.Consiglio a chiunque il loro servizio, si affiderà sicuramente in mani preziose.Ancora grazie!read more

George S.

I do not know how people are able to apply to a language school without a company like GoGoNihon. They made a very daunting experience an absolute breeze. I have felt supported... from the very beginning to the very end. Any time I needed help Crystal and Layna would always have a response for me the next morning, which with the UK/Japan time zone difference I could not ask for a much faster response.read more

They really simplified my application process and responded to all of my question in a timely manner. Sometimes it took one day to get back to me but there was never anything... urgent that got delayed.The main advantage was definitely not having to compile documents in Japanese. Also, I got a $28 monthly discount when I reserved accomodation and told the rental office that I applied through GoGoNihon.read more
