The estimated monthly living expenses for international students in Tokyo is around 130,000 yen. Living costs in major cities like Tokyo are generally higher than in regional areas.
As for housing, the national average rent is approximately 41,000 yen, whereas in Tokyo it is about 57,000 yen.In addition, it is often difficult to find an apartment near the school in urban areas, which tends to result in higher commuting expenses.

留学の在留資格（通称「留学ビザ」）で日本に滞在する上で、活動内容や法令の遵守、資格の更新や変更手続きが必要となります。留学生が安心して日本の生活を送り学習に専念できるよう、資格のある学校職員が「申請取次制度」により、学生の在留資格の更新手続きを行いますのでご安心ください。入学後のオリエンテーションで詳しい説明を行い、在留期限の3ヶ月前から準備し東京入管へ代理で申請をします。
なお、学習状況や出席率、資格外活動を含む滞在内容等で学習継続が困難と判断された場合には更新申請を行わないこともあるので、常日頃から教員や生活指導担当者の指導に従ってください。
To stay in Japan under the “Student” status of residence (commonly referred to as a student visa), it is necessary to comply with permitted activities, relevant laws and regulations, and to complete procedures for renewing or changing the status when needed.
To ensure that international students can live in Japan with peace of mind and focus on their studies, qualified school staff will handle the renewal of students’ residence status on their behalf through the Application Agent System.
A detailed explanation will be provided during the orientation after enrollment, and the application will be prepared and submitted to the Tokyo Immigration Bureau starting three months before the expiration of the current status.
Please note that if it is determined that continued study is difficult due to poor academic performance, low attendance, or activities beyond the scope of the visa (such as unauthorized part-time work), the school may choose not to submit a renewal application.
Therefore, students are expected to always follow the guidance of their teachers and student affairs staff.
【就職活動】中級3・中上級1
初年度で習得した日本語能力と就職活動の基礎をもとに、2年目以降は「就職活動の実践」に入ります。エントリーシートの添削、企業説明会への申込サポート、面接練習を重ね、複数企業からの内定獲得を目指して教職員が一丸となって支援します。
【Job Hunting Activities】Intermediate 3 / Upper-Intermediate 1
Based on the Japanese language skills and basic knowledge of job hunting acquired in the first year, students enter the practical phase of job hunting from the second year onward.
Faculty and staff work closely together to support students in every step—reviewing entry sheets, assisting with registration for company information sessions, and conducting repeated interview practice—with the goal of securing job offers from multiple companies.
【就職準備】中上級2
内定が決まった後も、在留資格の変更や転居手続きなど、入社までに必要な準備についても丁寧にサポートします。信頼できる行政書士や不動産会社をご紹介し、日本での新生活を安心してスタートできるよう支援を行っています。
【Job Preparation】Upper-Intermediate 2
Even after receiving a job offer, we continue to provide careful support for all necessary preparations before starting work, such as changing the status of residence and completing moving procedures.
We also introduce students to trusted administrative scriveners and real estate agencies to help ensure a smooth and worry-free transition to their new life in Japan.
本校では、就職を目指して学習を進めてきた学生が、学びの途中で進路を変更し、日本の専門学校や大学への進学を希望する場合にも、柔軟かつ丁寧に対応できる進学指導体制を整えています。
進学を希望する学生には、個別面談を通して進路の希望や適性をしっかりと確認したうえで、志望校選びから出願準備、小論文や面接の指導に至るまで、教職員が一人ひとりに寄り添い、きめ細やかなサポートを行います。
「学び直し」は将来の選択肢を広げる大切なステップです。本校では、学生の意志を尊重し、最適な進路選択ができるよう、進学指導にも力を入れています。
また、就職を目標としている学生にとっても、専門学校や大学など日本の高等教育機関の学習内容を把握することも有効な機会として捉えていただきます。就職先の日本人の同僚や先輩後輩が教育機関で過去に学んだことや経験談に共感することや、自身の知識等と比較検討をするなど、日本社会で暮らしていく中で他者とのコミュニケーションを円滑に行うための大切な経験です。

At our school, we have established a flexible and attentive academic guidance system to support students who initially aimed for employment but later decide to change their path and pursue higher education at a vocational school or university in Japan.
For students wishing to continue their studies, we provide personalized support through one-on-one counseling to carefully assess their goals and aptitudes. Our faculty and staff assist with every step—from selecting the right school and preparing application documents, to writing personal essays and practicing for interviews—offering detailed and individualized guidance.
We believe that “relearning” is an important step toward expanding one’s future possibilities. Respecting each student’s aspirations, we place great emphasis on academic guidance to help them choose the best path forward.
For those who still aim to enter the workforce, learning about the curricula of Japanese vocational schools and universities can also be a valuable experience. Understanding what Japanese colleagues, seniors, or juniors have studied or experienced in such institutions helps students build empathy, compare perspectives, and develop smoother communication skills—essential for living and working in Japanese society.
※ Students also participate in academic information sessions held at nearby venues or hosted on campus, where prospective schools are invited to give presentations.
