Study in Japan from Nawalparasi
Japan is our specialty. Most of the students we guide choose Japan, so our counselling, documentation and Japanese classes are built around the Japanese admission process.
From your first counselling session to Japanese classes, school selection, the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and your visa, we handle each step with you at our office in Amarapuri, Gaindakot.
