- I'm super glad I chose to study abroad in Japan this January. Meeting people from different cultures and being immersed in a new environment has definitely allowed me to grow as a person. Learning and using Japanese is also super tough. But, hey, no one said it was going to be easy! Looking forward to another great week in Tokyo. Many more adventures to come!

As a Japanese living overseas, this video motivated me! Your video is great :)
Congrats on studying abroad!!! I am going to study next year and I'm so excited!
this is awesome bro! I’m so gonna study abroad after my first year in uni. Did u do this too? I remember u graduated HS in 2018
Haha thanks!! And yep, I am currently in my second year!
loving the videos!! I'll be attending sophia this upcoming spring semester and have been extremely anxious!! your videos have been so insightful and help calm me down haha looking forward to more vids 😊
rizza0415 super glad the videos help!!!!! Let me know if you have any questions too. I’d be more than happy to answer
@@ryannakajima omg yes 😭😭😭 I actually have a couple things I'm wondering about. If it's not too much, would I be able to get your email and reach out that way? thanks you're a lifesaver! :)
rizza0415 for sure! It’s nakajima.ryan@gmail.com
@@ryannakajima Hi...if it's okay, can I contact that email too? I have couple of questions to ask too about studying abroad in JP. I've been wanting to ask these questions to someone who has exp. so can I?
Anime Island ya of course!
Currently a Japanese + American citizen thinking about going to college in Japan. Sadly, I would have to wait until my second year in college to attend (I missed the application deadline because we hadn't even given Japanese colleges a thought) but I am excited nonetheless! + I am currently learning Korean, so Japan would be a great place to attend college and visit Korea, since they are the closest neighbor.
I'm already 20 and I have this wish of going to an university in Japan for maybe two years now. Firstly now I also decided to go and do everything for that dream (but at some point I'm scared I'm too old for any universities now idk why). I take my Japanese self study really seriously now and hope that one day I'll be able to make a decision like you did
What u gonna studying for?
@@_skiizo_x9279 I'm actually studying for a full mature exam in German just to get into a university lmao
@@_skiizo_x9279 and actually I wanted to study the language and culture, literature
@@reeshjekyll5860 where are you now?
may i know more about studying abroad? how was the entrance exam? and did u get a scholarship? much appreciated :))
ikr been researching from months but could'nt find it helpful~!
Hi, you should check EF program, Education First, it's a international school, i'm an ambassqdor for the program and my next exchange is going to be japan 🥰 i've been in nyc and washington before
Mindrea alanis can you tell me more about the program??
Mindrea alanis can I also try emailing u about questions with studying abroad?
@@matthewc6835 sure!!!
Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships😘🤗😁
Thankyou for making this short but informative and very nicely done video and vlog ! Its always been a dream of mine to go to school in japan, and I’ve been studying hard for 4 years during highschool, dedicated my time to learning japan and their culture.
Wow times go by so fast this is when I first started watching you and I have never regretted watching this video
as a NYer that studied abroad (and decided to come back and stay) I gotta agree on the pie. and how awesome it is to experience japan for the 1st time - esp. while going to school. priceless.
What up brother. Loved ya clip. Great background music by the way. I've been in different countries in Asia, particularly the Philippines as my sweetheart and stepkids are living there. Whenever you are in Germany, hit me up!
Thank you! And I definitely will!
I applied to a 1 year language program in Shibuya for Jan of 2022 and things are looking really good so far so this video is getting me excited :')
Just a quick question, what are the advantages of studying in japan? Like i were to study in japan and return back to my home country, what would be my overall benefit?
Kymy Yang For me, I really wanted to learn Japanese so it was helpful being exposed to the language every day. Lol my Japanese didn’t improve that much though hahah! Japan is also SO rich culturally, so you’ll definitely learn different customs/traditions. If you talk to the locals and make an effort to speak their language, you can gain a lot. It was interesting to compare Japanese culture to America’s. But yeah, Japan is also beautiful. You can explore the city, but also hike the countryside. Public transportation is also very accessible and easy. Everyone’s experience is different, but I now have a greater appreciation for Japanese culture and can speak the language slightly better. I also met incredible people along the way since students from all over the world came to study at Sophia’s January program.
your advantage is getting to experience something fun an exciting, that you wont be able to experience later in life if you pass it by
@@karifurai8479 I guess that's wat his saying 😂💕
@@ryannakajima in which uni do u study??
@@karifurai8479 i can do that even while studying in Netherlands , Norway , Switzerland , or any European countries
idk what to say like your video gave me a very good vibes i was like smiling the whole video :D omg keep posting such videos 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
The transitions and the filter is so nice! Its short and its so cool to watch
the last guy in the video just nailed it !!!! he's the humanity's last hope.
I love Japan and I’ve always wanted to study aboard or travel but never got the chance to.
Had to cancel my Tokyo study twice now and Im watching videos like this to COPE :.)
Bruhhh whyy
@@bwibu425 Just a little global pandemic goin on
@manny Yeah it does, so I've had to push back my study date from Fall 2020 to Fall 2022.... 辛い。
Love your videos 😆
Love your friends, they are very funny and kind
We want more college vlogs
gosh, it would be so cool to study one semester in Japan
Mr. Ryan, you have an amazing song taste!
that last guy alone was worth wathcing the video
thank you for making this video! i'm currently stuck between applying to europe or japan.
Aaaah I've always wanted to study in Japan, is there any way to get there for college? I am a graduating high school student and I'm still learning a bit of Japanese. Nice video btw sir, you are living my dream and I hope you really enjoy it...
This was a great video, it looks like a super sick unique experience.
Loved this man. Your friend seems like a fantastic guy!
I'm actually in High school, I should graduate in 2022, and I'd really like to go to a Japanese university too. It seems really expensive tough...
Me too I'd graduate in 2022..however i learnt about scholarships there
turns out there is something called MEXT which is a scholarship for education in japan according to your age & years of education you had
I heard that it fully covers the costs of the university that u'll go to and gives you a very decent monthly income
For more details I've got u a link to this website that explains about MEXT! And how to pass / apply !
Everything is through the japanese embassy in your country
Good day ~

Smae bruh same
I’m in grad school currently and I’m planning on going there for my elective year & my thesis either next year or 2022. It’s gonna be awesome.
I want to study abrod in Japan for a semester or 2, mabye 3 if i like it.
Im only just starting highschool, but this is ma plan.
I want to eather study:
Preforming Arts. (Acting is ma favrote thing, if i can i want to presue it.)
Animation. (Im a weeb, and love how anime is drawn, i would love to draw them for a living)
Pycology/whatever classes people take to become social workers and theripists. (The one ma whole family says is "Most Realistic," becoming a social worker or a theripist)
*What Does The Internet Think Of Ma Plans That Might Change Because Im Young And Dumb?*
Same here!! I was the same in 8th grade and my freshman year in high school. My plan to study back then was:
Animation (I wanted to model for video games. I took two years of animation at my highschool and it was really good! If I were you and your highschool offers animation, take the class. But check if it's for 3D or 2D. The first year for me was both 2D and 3D but the following year you could choose which one you wanted focus on the most.)
Something I don't remember much but it involved Asian culture (?).
I am currently a junior in high school and graduating class of 2021 but my goal is still there. I'm probably going to take my first two semesters at my local community college so I can save some money and have all of my AP credits taken so I don't have to take two years of foreign language and freshman English so I can just skip to sophomore English. But as soon as I graduate high school I'll be taking summer college classes online so I can do some work while I'm traveling back to Mexico to get a student visa.
My plans of studying have changed so I'm planning on majoring in mathematics, get a minor in accounting (backup job) and then a doctorate in education because I want to become a college professor and teach abroad.
Hopefully you will get to go! If you keep your goal in mind then it will come true if you work hard for it :).
shana k. Let’s not shit on other people’s ambitions now, if she wants to Pursue psychology then hell, let her do it.
@@alevalencia5671 I kind of want to go into the video game industry, I love art and video games, so I want to pursue that. And I also want to go to Japan (maybe study abroad). But I don't need to worry too much about that yet, lol.
I know you have autocorrect 😭
Sociology might be more useful for social work if youd be interested in that - remember it doesn't pay much. I wouldn't reccomend performing arts as experience is more valuable than education. Animation would be good, but work on your art now as you're just starting. Really start to study not just draw. you got this, I believe in you !
its a whole pizza (california)
😭😭😭
I want to study abroad in Japan in high school for a year (I know it's super hard and the stress is unreal) however if I don't go I feel like I'm just slowly rotting away staying where I am right now
Same did u learn language tho?
I want to study in Japan during a year of college, so I have a few questions for you. What is your major? Are the classes all in English? And can you still get the full credits for the classes you are taking that are required for your major?
Yes same! In addition what are the opportunities after graduating? And how many international students in one class?
Yesss
That's the kind of questions you need to ask to your college. Each college works differently. You need to see if your college has any partnership with a Japanese one.
You should make a slice of life anime about your whole trip because it looks like a dream come true
Weeb
Damn, how tall is your friend? Gonna go to exchange next year too :D
Which school?
Planning to do this in spring 🥺
I can’t wait for College as soon as I pass my ACT imma go study abroad
Hi! New to your channel! Thank you very much for sharing your a glimpse studying in Japan!
your video is insanely soothing! love this imma subscribe
Just wondering, what classes do you find interesting~?
I like classes in business and computer science!
15 yo here really wish to study abroad doesn’t have to be Japan but would love for it to be Japan hopefully I can achieve it
*omg they speak English!? I’m studying wait for meee!*
Hi, what a great video! Nice video editing and your smile makes me feel happy! Here are some questions that confusing me, could you please help me find out the answer?
👉🏻Is Math 1&2 in Japanese?
👉🏻Are you still in Japan? After graduating, can we immediately get a job in Japan?
This would definitely help me, thankyou so much!
Enjoy enjoy ma booi 🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm in college now 😔 junior high 'til now this is my dream 😭
Your friend (Taimu?) Is so cute 😳
I wish i can study there 😊♥️
You nailed this video👍
*Listens to intro*
Me: "Wait does this guy not have homework"
Ryannnnn its jordy whatss goodd
I am thinking to go to college to japan but I am really having nervousness by thinking that I will be away from my family and my friends and the main question is that do Japanese get along well with foreigners and make friends ? If any Japanese or japan living person read this please do reply 🙏
This is my goal in life tbh,
How much do you have to know the language to go and study there or even for work?
Sophia University actually has an English-taught degree program, so technically you don't have to know any Japanese. But it definitely helps to at least know the basics!
It depends on the universities and the programs you take. A lot of universities have a program in English but if you want to take the classes in Japanese, they often ask you to have a JLPT N1 or N2 level. It's the official Japanese language exam.
Hi there! Loved your video it makes me want to go back to Japan! And also may I ask what camera you're using! Love your content! :)
Hey! Thank you sm. And I use the Sony RX100 VI !!
My biggest question is how do you support yourself? Are you allowed to work on a student visa??
You got a sub! Does Taimu have an Instagram or RUclips? He seems like such a nice guy and you two make a cool duo
Bro one of my dream to really study in Japan for my Master
a pizza and a pie are 2 separate things, u know that right
lmao we call it pie occasionally in NJ
How is making friends like in japan? Do they care if youre a foreigner or meh
It wasn't too hard at Sophia because a lot of people spoke English. But yeah if they don't it's kind of challenging since they have no idea what we're saying hahah
Gjccjfjdid I can’t wait to go study there- ur living everyone’s dream!!!
I want to study in Japan and speak English but want to learn Japanese as well.
Taimu is so cute
I'm Japanese but I was born and raised in another country. I am looking to live in Japan after I graduate high school, but I want to attend an international university because my Japanese is not 100% perfect (I can't read kanji). I'm very anxious to go... what was the application process like?
Hi Kiara! The application process was a lot different for me because I only did the one month program at Sophia University. We only had to submit our transcript. If you're applying to be a full-time student at a Japanese University, you need to submit application forms, an essay, standardized test scores, proof of English Proficiency, two letters of recommendation, photocopy of passport, and some other forms. That's for Sophia at least, but most Universities should have similar requirements. I hope everything works out!!
Here's the link for Sophia: www.sophia.ac.jp/eng/admissions/ug_p/en_ug/fla/w_h.html
@@ryannakajima Wow thank you for all the detailed information! That gives me a little more reassurance about attending a school abroad.
omg I WANNA GOOOOO
Hey ! This might be a dumb question are the classes in English or Japanese ? I’m attempting to learn Japanese but it’s very minimal & I really want to study abroad in Japan
:0..I wanna go so bad omg- this is literally my dream 🥺‼️✨
In a month i also will start with college. I am kinda stressed
How's college?
@@eeriemilk1285 thank you for asking. Right now a part of the classes is online and a part is on campus. I thought it would be hell, but i am doing fine. Hahah i just have to study harder
Amazing video!!!
in my country you can only go to study university but not go as a school exchange student
I’m interested in studying abroad as an exchange student in Japan but the thing is I’m planning on doing online college but if I apply to do exchange student to study for a career I wouldn’t be sure if they would accept my visa to go to a regular collage or university coming from studying online
Honest opinion do u think it's okay for a girl who want to do engineering to go to Japan to study even tho she has no idea how to speak Japanese 😷
I'm just nervous about the idea
If there are programms in English, it'll be fine
I'm thinking about majoring in Nursing and/or Japanese language & literature. I'm very interested in going to Japan to study abroad and experience all that it has to offer. I also want to become an English teacher there (TEFL). I'm conflicted whether its possible and how I'd do it.
Dude!! I’m actually applying to study at Sophia university in the spring, if everything opens back up, & came across your video. How was the experience there?
the pizza pie guy is a chad
How hard is it to get in a university in japan i live in south africa
some terrace house inspired editing? 👀
we all want to know the arcade dude's final score lolll
So cool 😍
Hey man just super curious and wondering if you would have any insight. I am turning 24 soon and I would love to get my undergrad degree abroad in Japan. Have you met anyone or know of anyone that is currently doing the same? Very random question but any feedback would be awesome. Also a New Jersey native, Piscataway, anyway keep up the great content.
Hi Ryan ! U said explore the city with ur friends but did u meet them at the college or did u know them before ?
Man.. love ur voice lol
Can someone please give me the list of the textbooks used in class for the Master's Degree of Japanese language course.
My wife and I are both from NJ too - she's considering a postdoc opportunity in Tokyo. What is the english speaking community like? I'm excited at the potential to learn japanese, but sometimes you want to talk to people in your native tongue too
It will depend on what area you live in. I’m larger cities there are students and professionals who speak English. I recommend signing up for an evening Japanese language course to meet other English speakers who are learning Japanese.
This year I'm applying for admission there wish me I'll be at Japan next year
Any tips on finding a school? I just need to go there for one semester. Is there something like an educational consultant there for international students?
NJ represent!!!!!
Good day! I am Purewin Fatima Araullo, 4th year High school Student from the Philippines. I would like to Enroll to some school in Japan. I really like to Study in japan, but I don't know where to start. I hope You reply thank you so much.
Did you have to apply to sophia once you got into one of their partnered schools? Help! I want to apply but I don't know If they will accept me if I'm not with their partnered universities!!
Hello , i want to know about the scope of commerce students in japan , job availability , will japan help me boost my career ? The cost of living is high or can be maintained , if yes , how ? I want to do PG in Japan if possible . What are the jobs in high demand ( commerce stream related) . Rather than that how can i come to japan translator , english teacher and what are the other options ? Is it so hard living in Japan that people actually leave , many people are saying this to me and telling me to drop the idea because its hard to adjust there but yet again many people ( international) are living there so its not that hard .
Looking forward to hear from you
Thankyou
I’m glad u like japan ❤️
(From a Japanese person lol)
Hello. May I just ask if your lectures in the uni are in Japanese or English? Thanks!
