FAQ

Japan is widely known as one of the safest countries in the world.
The crime rate is relatively low, even in large cities like Tokyo and Osaka. The people are good-natured and everywhere you go is safe and clean. If you ever need assistance, Japan has a well-organized police system, and many stations in urban areas offer multilingual support for international visitors and residents.

The cost of living in Japan can vary depending on your lifestyle.
On average, international students spend around 110,000 JPY per month, including rent, food, transportation, and other daily expenses. Public transportation is efficient and affordable, and our cafeterias on campus or convenience stores offer many budget-friendly meal options.

As Japan’s ancient capital for over 1,000 years, Kyoto is famous for its historic temples, shrines, and beautifully preserved streets. Unlike big cities like Tokyo or Osaka, Kyoto offers a quieter, more traditional atmosphere where you can experience the heart of Japanese culture.
At the same time, Kyoto is also a student-friendly city, home to many universities and international students. It’s easy to find cultural activities, seasonal festivals, and even traditional arts like tea ceremony or kimono wearing.
If you’re interested in history, nature, and a slower pace of life, Kyoto offers a very special experience that’s different from the fast-paced urban lifestyle of Japan’s larger cities.
