Overview
Have you always dreamed of a life in Japan? Now you can turn that dream into a reality with our Working Holiday program in Japan. Our year-long program provides extensive on-site and online support to ensure a seamless transition and successful integration into Japanese life. We help you prepare before you even depart with our online sessions and materials. Once you are on Japanese ground, we offer services such as airport pick-up, assistance with city hall registration, help with setting up a SIM card and opening a bank account, and more.
Worried about finding a job? You can choose to add on a guaranteed job that we arrange for you. These jobs require little to no Japanese language skills, so you can avoid the stress of job hunting altogether. If you decide to find a job on your own, we will still support you, e.g. with counseling sessions or help with translating your résumé into Japanese.
Our program is designed to give you the ultimate flexibility to spend your time in Japan exactly as you'd like. With our expert assistance, you can start your journey with confidence, knowing you have a dedicated team by your side. We also actively help you build a social life through regular meetups and cultural events with other participants and Japanese locals. We can even arrange Japanese language classes for you, if you wish. This balance of professional assistance and authentic cultural connection is what sets our program apart, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to fully experience Japan while funding their travels.
