Tools Center · Lifecycle Tool Map
From pre-arrival prep and graduate-school applications to working and staying in Japan — the platform breaks down what to do at each stage into tools. You can use them in chronological order, or pick recommended tools based on your student profile. Not everything is complex AI; some are lightweight tools like checklists, timelines, and budgets.
Not in Japan yet, or just decided to come — sort out route, degree, budget, language, and timeline first. This stage is mostly lightweight tools: diagnosis, estimates, checklists, and timelines.
Route planner (which degree & path) · Japan university guide (national/private tiers & top schools by field)
Diagnoses the 5 standard routes from your profile and intent, then generates a printable personalized plan (degree choice absorbed).
A cross-sectional view of tiers, groupings and field strengths — build the map before narrowing targets.
Language school picker (accreditation, visa rate, progression, cost pitfalls) · Region atlas (9 regions filtered by industry/support/climate)
A cross-cutting guide: distinguishing 告示校/適正校/認定校 and the transition, the withheld-COE chain and risk signals, the 延べ/denominator/destination inflation of progression rates, fees and refund clauses plus agent tactics, the renewal+progression double-kill of monthly attendance <80% guidance / <50% reporting, and a school-choice checklist (a reference snapshot, official-first).
Filters a candidate pool from the official gazetted list (800+ schools) by region, course, and goal; the AI circles 3-5 candidates strictly inside the list, each with an official-site verification checklist (names server-verified; numbers go to to-confirm).
After you've chosen a school, screen cities by relative cost tier, industry clues, multilingual support, climate hard-constraints, and persona fit: 9 regions + a Tokyo-metro overlay, student distribution / university density, the campus-location trap, common misjudgments, and official entries (relative pictures only — no exact amounts or rankings; exact figures are delegated to the budget tool).
Study plan (back-calculated JP/EN pacing) · Scholarship finder (MEXT/JASSO/local/private) · Cost estimator
Reverse-engineer the Japanese & English you actually need from your target, with your level and months left.
Browse pre- and post-arrival options: MEXT, JASSO, local and foundation scholarships, plus tuition waivers (reference only; confirm official amounts and deadlines).
Estimate tuition, rent, and living-cost ranges by region and school type.
Run through documents, materials & final checks before you fly
Hanko, documents (COE/translation), cash, 100V electronics, meds — by country, with prepare-before vs buy-after.
Uses only sponsorship facts confirmed on this screen to organize originals, notarization, translation, and funding-continuity checks, then creates working drafts of the two sponsorship letters. It does not automatically use your profile or assert amounts; verify official sources before submission.
Housing (first place to stay) · Entry procedures preview (residence/immigration) · Part-time work rules for students
Understand dorms, the rental flow, guarantors and upfront costs before you fly, so housing is sorted before you land.
Get ahead of the residence card, resident registration, bank account and health insurance — the order and documents you'll need.
Understand the student work permit (out-of-status activity), the 28-hour weekly cap and which jobs are allowed.
The order and dependencies for a phone number, bank account and personal seal (hanko) after you land.
Already landed, or about to be — the sooner you grasp how Japan actually works (residence card, registration, health insurance & pension, housing, part-time work, seeing a doctor), the easier life gets. This stage is mostly plain-content guides: first learn these things exist and the traps people fall into, then always go confirm with official sources.
A time-ordered, checkable procedure flow: COE/visa before arrival → 在留カード at the airport → within 14 days 住民登録/国保/年金 → part-time work permit (28h) → renewal (all verify-official).
Dorms vs UR vs private rentals, deposit/key-money upfront costs, guarantors and renewal fees — a quick primer.
National Health Insurance enrolment and the National Pension "student payment exception" for students — the big picture, faithfully keeping the residence-review and lump-sum-withdrawal traps (premiums/income thresholds/reductions are a high-risk area that varies by year and municipality; all marked meyasu/verify-official).
The whole line after deciding on grad school — the real process is to set the research direction first, then find a professor, not the other way around. Covers undergrad, research student, master's, and doctorate.
Professor matching · research-topic mapping · reach/match/safety school ladder
Figure out which research direction fits you before looking for a professor — driven by your student profile.
Use your research direction, methods, and profile to find professors worth contacting from a real faculty database.
Guidelines decoder: extracts dates, eligibility, documents and deadline type (must-arrive vs postmark) → 3-state eligibility self-check and per-document countdown → then files the school, doc to-dos and timeline in one tap
Paste the official guidelines — or just their PDF or URL — to decode the pitfalls in application windows, documents, character limits and language requirements; deadlines pushed straight to your prep timeline.
Model samples → draft grounded in school × advisor → admissions-view feedback
Draft and pre-submit review for statements of purpose in one workbench.
10-field samples → advisor-grounded drafting → Japanese-standard formatting → faculty-view review vs. literature
Template → first draft → pre-submission review — the full research-plan workflow in one place.
Scenario email samples (first contact / nudge / decline / post-offer) + AI drafting · per-professor tracking (CRM)
Generate a first-contact email to your target professor by scenario: lab visit request, statement of intent, and more.
Entrance written exam (major subjects) · interview (subject-specific) prep
The whole line from job-hunting in Japan to working and staying — from job-search goals and self-analysis, through ES, company research, and interviews, all the way to post-offer procedures and residence-status changes.
Identify your new-grad / mid-career track and turn the standard annual cycle into a first action
Build a solid self-analysis axis, organize your experiences into cards, then put your strengths into words
AI dialogue using the Why×3 method to articulate values, strengths, and job-hunting axes.
Turn research, project, internship, and activity experiences into strengths the target role can read.
First turn research, projects, internships, part-time work, and club activities into STAR experience cards, then reuse them for strengths, ES, interviews, and role matching.
Understand industries, roles and target firms
Compare the thresholds, trends, and fit of industries and roles.
When you hold a specific posting, decode hard eligibility conditions, role reality, hidden checks, and ES/interview strategy. For what the company itself is like, see the company deep-report library.
Résumé/ES/certificate templates plus form-parsing, profile-based single or bulk ES generation, fit analysis and pre-submit checks
Organize the documents Japanese job hunting may ask for at each stage: 履歴書, ES, transcript/graduation certificates, health check certificates, qualification proofs, portfolios, and international-student documents. What can be generated is generated; what cannot is explained with samples, issuing offices, reissue paths, and pitfalls.
Paste a company ES form, read its prompts, limits and types, then generate per-question advice from your profile, industry, role, and STAR cards.
Aptitude tests, interview, communication and offer steps
Infer likely web-test types such as SPI, Tamatebako, CAB/GAB and TG-WEB from your target industry, role and company names, then prepare for the post-ES written gate.
Daily SPI-style non-verbal and verbal drills, all original questions. Three modes — understand in Chinese, side-by-side, Japanese-only — plus a wrongbook and weak-point analysis.
Interview prep and simulation for real selection: switch focus by round (1st / 2nd / final) and format (group & GD, case, recorded / web), producing a prep report and mock Q&A.
Craft business emails (OB visits, scheduling, declines) and handle post-offer steps and the work visa
Generate polished Japanese business emails for 6 job-hunting scenarios including OB visits, schedule adjustments, and offer declines.
Keep one account-owned file per company and role. Every confirmed selection change is appended as its own event, so later status never overwrites history.
Compare each offer on a "life-in-Japan axis"—contribution to 永住 requirements, highly-skilled points, family accompaniment; then work through the 内々定→オヤカク→accept/decline decision and back-plan the 留学→技人国 residence-status change up to your start date.
