Language-School Register Comparison

How does the register comparison work?

  1. 01Search the official registers

    Search by name, then narrow with prefecture and a course-text keyword. The default scope is the Immigration gazette (Appendix 1) plus MEXT accreditation; gazetted preparatory courses can be added when you need them. No sign-in required.

  2. 02Add 1-5 institutions to the comparison

    Which schools make the cut is entirely your call — this site offers no candidates, no scores, and no ranking. Your picks enter the table exactly as registered, with no rewriting.

  3. 03Compare the registered entries column by column

    Six columns sit side by side: name, English name, prefecture, course text, register, and data snapshot. A blank means the register has no entry for that field, not that the institution lacks it — a distinction that matters more than the figures themselves.

  4. 04Take twenty questions to each school

    Tuition, refund terms, housing, nationality mix, attendance rules, the denominator behind progression figures — everything the registers omit is set out as twenty general questions. Copy them with the comparison and put the same set to every candidate school.

Official-list facts

Chapter01
Verification approach

First school to verify: ISI Language School, Shinjuku. The frozen official list places it in Tokyo and records four university-progression course lengths: two years, 1 year 9 months, 1 year 6 months, and 1 year 3 months. Check those lengths against the April 2027 graduate-school plan first. IECC is the course-length comparator; Academy of Language Arts is the course-type comparator for general, advanced, and progression (comprehensive) study. This order only sets the inquiry sequence—it is not a judgment about teaching quality, admission, visa status, or personal fit.

This chapter repeats frozen official-list fields only. Course names do not establish teaching quality, admission likelihood, or personal fit.

Chapter04

Comparison is complete when you have verifiable replies and update your application decision—not when you have merely read three cards.

  1. 01Send the same inquiry sheet to each school and retain emails and attachments.
  2. 02Update only fields supported by evidence; do not fill blanks with marketing claims.
  3. 03Combine commute, budget, and next-stage goals before saving or preparing an application.

This result does not choose a school for you

The official list shows the institution and course entries captured in the frozen snapshot. It does not establish teaching quality, visa-status outcomes, or personal fit.

Admissions, costs, housing, and refund rules can change. Check the latest terms before applying.

Questions for the applicant

What is the maximum acceptable commute and monthly living budget?

Are you considering only the April 2027 intake?
