Go! Go! Nihon Live and Study in Japan!

In 2009, after meeting and studying at a Japanese language school together, Davide and John start working on a project that will make the process of living and studying in Japan much easier. The idea for Go! Go! Nihon is born. The service and website is launched with Italian, Swedish, and English language support. There is an immediate positive reception to the service and the first long-term students start the October session that year.

Zack S.

Silvia was quick to respond and incredibly helpful asking all of my questions. Thank you, Go! Go! Nihon.

Roberto T.

Sempre molto gentili e disponibili a risolvere i numerosi dubbi che possono venire quando si decide di andare a studiare/lavorare in un Paese così lontano e diverso dall'Italia.... Stra consiglio Go Go Nihon!read more

Lira D.

Impecáveis em sua missão.Grata por tanto.

Mark J.

Go! Go! Nihon overall was very helpful. The only confusion I faced during my use of the service was when looking for the health certificate for signing by a doctor but this is a... complicated part of the process in general.read more

Emily Amadhia King (.

My contact at Go Go Nihon was super helpful and very informed! She helped me to understand sooooo much that would have been completely over my head -- things that just never... came-up in my Google'ing.I happened to actually be in Japan when I contacted them. So, I was able to find language schools on my own and visit in person, in addition to the schools that Go Go Nihon partners with.In the end, I chose a school that Go Go Nihon didn't service, but that didn't dim their helpfulness one bit! They kept-on being a godsend of information and help -- and even put me in touch with a place through which to rent student housing!I highly recommend them -- especially if you're like me and "all the red-tape" kind of stuff just makes your mind glaze-over.Thank you, Go Go Nihon! I'm grateful you exist!~Emilyread more

Jim W.

They are VERY thorough and helpful. They break down a very complicated process into manageable steps and the best part is that it's free (on your end).

Bill C.

Special thanks and a shout to Saskia at GoGoNihon! For all of her help, patience, and expertise as she guided me through the very long and complex Visa application process. She... knew all of the steps in the process inside out and she navigated the Immigration bureaucracy like a pro. She was patient with all of my questions and I could rely on her for speedy response to all of my emails. The whole application process can appear quite daunting and is but I owe my success in gaining the COE to her. Thanks, Saskia!read more

Incredibly useful! They help you through the entire process and answer any questions you have. They respond pretty quickly and are thorough with everything! I highly recommend :)

Valeria A

My coordinator Silvia was so helpful and so patient with me I’m so grateful to her and GoGo Nihon because they provide a lot of information and support. Since it’s my first time... ever going to Japan next year I decided to go through GoGo Nihon and applied to a language school in Kyoto for a year. I’m not sure if I would’ve been able to do it all by myself but for a first timer it was better to go through an agency and what better agency than GoGo Nihon themselves. I totally recommend them!read more

Michela G.

Absolutely one of the best agencies! They will help you all throughout your process in finding the perfect school, applications, visa process up until you arrive in Japan. My... co-ordinator Silvia is truly a very helpful and kind-hearted person. I highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to live and study in Japan!read more

Go Go Nihon was a vital resource in my journey to studying in Japan.

Le soutien a été constant et professionnel. Si vous envisagez d'étudier au Japon, Go! Go! Nihon est un excellent choix se lancer dans l’aventure !read more

Jordane D.

I didn't get to go on the study trip in the end but I was really looking forward to activities they had planned. I know it would have been a fun and rewarding trip, deepening my... love and understanding of Japanese culture. I also received great feedback from the language school I was enrolled in through the program and I was looking forward to improving my Japanese conversation skills. The Go! Go! Nihon team makes the process very easy and all you have to do is submit the required information and get ready for an amazing trip. The staff is also very helpful and provide you with as much information as you need. I think this is a great way to experience Japan and especially if you want to take the JLPT in Japan.read more

Sem dúvida, a melhor opção para estudar no Japão! Não cobra pelo excelente, completo e diferenciado serviço prestado que só encontrei na Go Go! Nihon:É uma parceria direta das... escolas, ajudando a atrair alunos internacionais, e você pagará o mesmo valor de inscrição que pagaria fazendo a inscrição diretamente com a escola. As diversas imobiliárias parceiras da Go Go Nihon oferecem opções de acomodação de acordo com cada perfil, e o processo de locação é bem tranquilo.Tudo foi bem esclarecido etapa por etapa, e o atendimento da Nina superou as minhas expectativas. Vale ressaltar que a comunicação através do chat da Go Go! Nihon, mesmo com a diferença do fuso horário, não atrapalhou a nossa comunicação.Minhas aulas iniciaram e a escola também tem superado as minhas expectativas, oferecendo o suporte necessário para abertura de conta bancária, sanando dúvidas do plano de celular, etc.Gratidão a Nina e a toda equipe da Go Go!

They helped me achieve a longtime goal: living and studying in Japan. Hurdles that would have been difficult to manage on my own were handled with relative ease by the team. A... special thanks to Saskia, who went above and beyond to ensure I could attend the school I wanted. While some may say you can do it yourself, I believe having a support system when you're alone in a new country is invaluable.read more

Je recommande les yeux fermés cette plateforme.Je suis passée par eux pour effectuer un séjour en école de langue d'un an au Japon. J'étais déjà partie en échange universitaire... au Japon pendant un an, j'ai donc un point de comparaison en termes de procédures.Lors de mon premier départ, tout avait ete compliqué et nous avons du tout faire nous même, c'était une véritable source de stress et j'en garde un assez mauvais souvenir... Cependant grâce a l'équipe go-go Nihon, ce second départ a été d'une grande simplicité !Un remerciement tout particulièrement à la coordinatrice Pauline qui m'a accompagnée et qui a fait preuve d'une grande disponibilité et efficacité durant ces moins de procédure.De plus, toute la traduction des documents a fournir est prises en charge par la plateforme ce qui est un avantage TRÈS important, vraiment.Je suis maintenant bien installée au Japon, dans un logement que j'ai également trouvé grâce aux partenariats de go-go Nihon.Honnêtement je ne comprends pas bien comment ce service peut être gratuit, mais tant mieux pour nous ahah!Encore un grand remerciement a tous et pour ceux qui hésitent, cette plateforme est vraiment le choix de la simplicité et de la qualité donc vous pouvez y aller en toute confiance !read more

Unai G.

Ojalá pudiera decir que mi experiencia con Go Go Nihon esté siendo positiva como la gran mayoría comenta, pero no es así.Hasta hace un par de semanas todo iba muy bien, pero... desde que la persona que asesoraba y tramitaba mi inscripción se fue de vacaciones no he recibido ni un solo mensaje ni respuesta a mis preguntas. Con esto no me estoy quejando de que alguien se vaya de vacaciones, (que espero que le vayan muy bien y las disfrute) mi queja viene de que alguien más del personal debería haberla sustituido mientras esta no esté disponible en vez de dejarme sin respuesta desde hace dos semanas (en teoría responden con una demora de 2 o 3 días).Por ello mi opción fue recurrir a llamar directamente a las oficinas y el número de teléfono que atendía en español estaba ocupado (estuvo así dos días seguidos), así que contacté con ellos a través del número de habla inglesa y me atendieron muy bien. La chica que cogió el teléfono era muy amable y respondió a todas mis preguntas. ¿Entonces cual es el problema ahora? Pues que me han dado 10 días para entregar toda la documentación y tengo un par de dudas que obviamente no han sido contestadas por chat y he intentado contactar con ellos otra vez vía telefónica y nadie me ha cogido el teléfono, ni el español ni el inglés. Ahora mismo el trámite se cierra en 3 días y no se que hacer ni si realmente tengo más tiempo para ello o si la documentación que he entregado está toda correcta.Ojalá pueda cambiar esta reseña en los próximos días a una positiva, pero de momento no estoy teniendo ninguna confianza ni seguridad con este proceso.read more

I worked with May, and she made the entire process... quick and seamless. Communication was easy—she always kind, answered all of my questions in a timely manner, and was patient when I needed extra time to gather paperwork.

A couple of days after I applied I was... assigned a personal tutor, and I haven’t been left alone ever since.

Go! Go! Nihon & their team is the reason why I've now made my 10-years-in-the-works dream of coming to Japan & living in the country to work towards having a career here... happen!As I'm now sitting right in the middle of Tokyo waiting for the summer session for my language school to start (as my personal goal is to have N2-N1 level Japanese prior to entering the corporate world in Japan), Silvia (my coordinator) has been the voice of support and reason since I began the arduous 8, 9 month journey of applying to my language school. Without her, I would have never made it to actually being on my way to making my life goals happen.From choosing the right school for me, advising what paperwork was needed, what to expect when arriving, and housing options, all of my concerns were addressed and taken care of with the help of her and the team. In addition, they made sure of what exactly was wrong with any items I submitted, and gave clear guidance on what would be needed to ensure the clearest path to a successful application. Even though my journey of getting to Japan and having my life fully situated is close to over, the team at Go! Go! Nihon still is open and offering support past the application process and have been very vocal about wishing to continue being supportive with any questions or concerns about life in Japan via their various social media platforms.I could not have done all of this on my own. As someone who likes having a clear support with big, daunting tasks, having a supportive team that does this daily was a big reassurance over having to directly contact and mitigate the needed items and documents with a school. Some people are able to do that on their own, but I personally like having the extra hands on deck making sure that the process is as seamless as possible as communication is key to make sure everything needed to be done is addressed to the best understanding of everyone involved.For anyone who is looking to make this same journey, whether it be for a short period of time or for a several year journey, I cannot recommend them enough. The team at Go! Go! Nihon are a great help to get started on the process, and have countless resources available to the public's disposal even if the schools they work with are not the right fit for you. They're the best!!read more

Simon B.

I recently arrived in Japan on a tourist visa with plans to live in Japan, potentially work I wasn't sure. A new friend of mine who worked producing videos for Go! Go! Nihon... suggested the idea of a student visa as an option because it offers the opportunity to both study and work in Japan. She informed me that Go! Go! Nihon was a service that helped connect students with language schools and necessary services to live in Japan and study the language. I got in contact and a very helpful worker Whitney was assigned to help me with the process. I was entering the process close to a cut off for the mid year intake and felt a bit of stress regarding this, however with the prompt, considerate and kind help of Whitney the process of organising all documents and necessary processes was made efficient and manageable. Go! Go! Nihon have many resources available to help assist with applications and useful details on how to go through each step. All in all the process was very smooth and for anyone looking to study and live in Japan I would highly recommend this service as a way of making it happen. They have connections with many language schools all over the country so can also assist in connecting you with a place to best suit your situation. Thank-you again and best wishes!read more

Suzanne J.

GoGoNihon has been nothing but wonderful from start to finish. This has been about an nine month process from the time I first reached out to getting my Visa, for reference. I was... unsure at first how much assistance they could offer, being a free service and all, but I am absolutely blown away by the amount of detail and helpfulness the staff and site go into. They have a whole portal where you upload your documents, fill out paperwork necessary for your visa, select, apply, and pay for dorms or housing, apply for rides from the airport, you name it. They even send you guides as time gets closer for how to use all the different technology in Japan once you're there. This platform has been a huge blessing for me not really knowing where to start with the process of applying to language school and uproot my entire life to go chase my dream of living and studying in Tokyo. They have been nothing short of amazing. Specifically, my coordinator, Saskia. Huge, huge, huge shout out to her! She helped me through every step of my application to language school and answered every question in a very timely manner with so many helpful hints, and pieces of advice. I asked her like a million questions and she was always very patient and thorough with me. I would recommend GoGoNihon to anyone looking to study overseas. They are super professional, kind, attentive, and for there to be no cost is just mind blowing. I'm so grateful for this program because I have no idea how I would have gone through the process without them.read more

Fantastic service and great help every step of the way. Anytime I needed help with specific things I always got a straight answer with a fast reply, or if I was stuck I was given... more options to choose from. If you are thinking of studying with GoGoNihon in Japan or online I would HIGHLY recommend it!read more

Definitely use this service if you want to do a language immersion program in Japan! It is paid by the language programs themselves so it is entirely helpful and no cost to... students to use. Really helps with keeping track of everything that needs to be done before coming to Japan!read more

I had so many questions and they managed to answer them all no matter what. Albeit it might take some time to finish a conversation especially if you have additional questions... after receiving some answers as the rate of reply is usually once per day, but nevertheless they are very helpful.read more

Personalized support and quick answers, in several different languages. Invaluable aid through the long and complicated procedures. And free of charge! Can you ask for anything... else? I've been living in Japan for six months now and it all started with Go! Go! Nihon! It may seem too good to be true, but it is.read more

Ottima agenzia di supporto per chi vuole studiare in Giappone e non sa da dove partire. C'è una buonissima assistenza per scegliere la scuola, alloggio e quali documenti occorre... preparare per trasferirsi li, nonostante il fusorario di otto ore e quindi l'attesa nelle risposte sono super efficienti e disponibili. Un ringraziamento particolare a Veronica che mi ha assistita da un anno a questa parte e ha risposto a qualsiasi domanda, anche la più scontata. Quindi per chi volesse venire in Giappone consiglio di affidarsi a loro . :)read more

be prepared for slow replies yes it says 2-3 business daysthey wasted 2-3 weeks of back and fourth emailsdid not explain why i need (X amount of $) in my account for a bank... statement when the school fees are half of what is listed on the website and i asked for a break down of the invoice and they told me to check the school informationalso they will not tell you this (they could have mentioned this to me from day one and said no and not wasted 2-3weeks of both of our time) but if you have been previously rejected visa's applications they will just withdraw your application without even bothering to help you or giving you the chance to explain or having the opportunity to try applyread more
