| In order to select a
university that is most suitable for achieving your objective, it
is extremely important that the prospective student has an accurate
understanding of such things as the educational circumstances in Japan
as well as the features of the education or research offered by a
university. It is also important that you get to know about living
in Japan or the available scholarships in advance. One way to collect
information related to studying in Japan is through overseas Japanese
diplomatic establishments and the Association of International Education,
Japan. |

1) Various information related to studying
in Japan are provided by overseas Japanese embassies and consular
offices. Consultation is also available. You can read university and
school guides, information about Japanese scholarships and various
pamphlets including those about Japan in general. You can find the
locations and phone numbers as well as the web sites of Japanese diplomatic
establishments here.

2) In countries where there are especially
large numbers of students destined for Japan, Japanese embassies and
consular offices retain people who possess wide-ranging knowledge
about Japanese circumstances - such as former foreign students - to
serve as student advisors. They are available for various inquiries
and consultations.
3) Japanese diplomatic establishments,
in principle, also conduct the recruitment and initial screening of
Embassy Recommendation candidates for Japanese Government (Monbukagakusho)
Scholarships. For details regarding application procedures and schedules,
please inquire at a Japanese embassy or consular office in your country.
