Go! Go! Nihon was founded in 2009 by two Japanese language school students, Davide and John. They wanted to make it easier for others like them to live and study in Japan after their own application experiences were filled with endless paperwork and communication difficulties.<\/p>

Since then, Go! Go! Nihon has proudly helped more than 17,000 people from around the world fulfill their dreams of living and studying in Japan. Our service is offered in seven languages, and we now also offer short-term study trips and online courses.<\/p>

The Go! Go! World family has grown to include support for studying in Korea (Go! Go! Hanguk), studying in Spain (Go! Go! Espa\u00f1a), studying in Italy (Go! Go! Italia), and studying in France (Go! Go! France).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
