I wanted to study Japanese in Japan, because I was looking to improve my proficiency in the language as much as possible over the summer holidays. However, I had never been to Japan before and I had no idea how to go about organising such a trip. In fact, the whole idea was quite daunting. Luckily, as I was researching online I stumbled upon Go! Go! Nihon’s website by chance. All the various services provided by Go! Go! Nihon made the whole process so much easier than if I had tried to do it alone. From finding a language school and accommodation, to organising shuttle services from and to the airport, I had such a good experience with Go! Go! Nihon that I used their services again a year later for a second trip to Japan!

Go! Go! Nihon helped me find host families to live with during my stays, something that was important to me, because I wanted to really immerse myself into this new environment in order to learn as fast as possible. I was really welcomed into the family each time, to experience everyday life with them as a quasi-family member, rather than just as a foreign guest. From going on family outings to helping me at the post office; my host family members were always friendly and helpful, and were eager to show me around. In short, both of my homestay experiences were fantastic in almost every way! I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone wanting to experience life in Japan!
