Study Abroad in Japan

Clear, independent information to help you choose the right path — language school, vocational school, or university — without bias toward any institution.

The challenge

Who can you actually trust?

Planning to study in Japan means navigating a maze of conflicting information, and it’s hard to know who to trust.

Many advisors are paid by the schools they recommend — which means their advice may serve the school’s interests as much as yours.

Our approach

Information built on one thing: what’s right for you

Globe takes a different approach. We have no affiliation with any educational institution, and we never earn a referral fee from any school. The information we provide is built on one thing: what’s genuinely right for you.

How it works

  1. Free initial inquiry

    A few questions about your goals and current situation. If you feel our services aren’t the right fit for you, there’s no pressure to continue.

  2. Roadmap development (flat one-time fee)

    A personalized plan matched to your goals, Japanese level, and timeline. It covers the Japanese proficiency to aim for before arrival and before enrollment, tuition differences across institutions, and estimated living costs for your preferred area.

  3. School selection (flat one-time fee)

    Information on schools that fit your dream career path and preferred living area.

  4. Total cost calculation (flat one-time fee)

    A systematic estimate of your tuition, living expenses, and potential side income from arrival in Japan through graduation, based on public data. In short, the total budget you need to graduate.

  5. Application information

    We provide the information you need, but we do not submit application documents on your behalf, and we do not guarantee admission. You remain fully responsible for managing every application procedure.

Who’s behind this

Led by 40+ years in Japanese education

Globe’s Study Abroad in Japan service is led by CEO Hitoshi Tsunoda, who spent over 40 years in Japanese education — more than 10 of them as head of international student affairs, overseeing international student recruitment and support. That experience is reflected in the roadmaps and information we provide.

Our study abroad services provide information only and are based on our current understanding of the latest policies and requirements. Our services do not guarantee admission to any educational institution.
