Study in Japan
Research schools, education pathways, scholarships, costs, student life and application planning through Japan’s government-approved international study portal.
Start with a primary source
Learn about Japan through its official resources.
A curated directory for Japanese language study, proficiency testing, scholarships, higher education and people-to-people exchange. Each link opens the organisation responsible for the programme or material.
Six dependable starting points
Choose the source that matches your question.
MEXT scholarships
Review scholarship types and the two main recommendation routes. The current application guidelines and the responsible Embassy or university decide eligibility.
JF Minato
Choose self-study and tutor-supported Japanese courses by level, language and study category on the Japan Foundation’s learning platform.
Irodori
Download free PDFs and audio for Japanese communication used in daily life and work. The official site also provides teaching guidance and updates.
JLPT
Use the worldwide official site for the test’s purpose, levels, sample questions, dates and overseas host institutions. Local hosts manage overseas applications.
Friendship and exchange
MOFA’s people-to-people programmes promote mutual understanding with regions around the world. MIRAI is the route listed for Europe.
A useful boundary
Official does not mean Nihoner-affiliated.
These resources are linked because they are authoritative for their own programmes. Nihoner has not received sponsorship, approval or permission to represent them.
- 1No logo borrowing
Institution names are presented as source labels, without suggesting co-branding.
- 2No copied deadlines
Time-sensitive details stay on the official notice whenever possible.
- 3No application handling
Nihoner does not collect programme forms, determine eligibility or influence selection.
- 4No outcome promise
Using a linked resource does not guarantee admission, funding, a test result or participation.
Combine sources thoughtfully
Use Nihoner for practice. Use the owner for official decisions.
A third-party learning platform and an official public resource have different jobs. Clear separation makes both more useful.
Example: prepare vocabulary or speaking with Nihoner, read examination rules on the JLPT site, and submit an application only through the listed local host.
