Hi! I’m Ali, and I currently live in Kyoto, Japan.
When I first became interested in Japan, I spent endless hours searching for information about visas, language schools, and daily life. Some things were easy to find, but many important details were confusing, outdated, or hidden. That experience inspired me to create this website—to make everything clearer, more organized, and more personal.
Here, I’ll share everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn) about coming to Japan, studying here, and building a life in this amazing country. Whether you’re planning to apply for a visa, looking for the right language school, or just curious about everyday life in Japan, I want this site to feel like a friendly guide. Not just facts… but real experiences, tips, and honest advice.
We’ll explore things step by step: visa types, required documents, school reviews, costs, scholarships, part-time jobs, culture, and even the small daily things—like convenience stores, trains, and what it’s really like to live in Japan. I’ll also share my personal journey in Kyoto: what surprised me, what was difficult, and what made me fall in love with this place.
This isn’t just my story—it can be our journey.
If you’re dreaming about Japan, you’re in the right place.
Let’s explore it together!
