This stage
Underage study in Japan is secondary-school study: before any visa, settle who watches over the student, where they live, who pays, and how the school receives them.
Before applying, record your nationality, actual place of residence, and where your documents were issued. Open the responsible Japanese embassy or consulate's visa application page to check required documents and where to submit them.
