Transform Your Future in the Heart of Osaka!
Want to master Japanese in Japan itself but held back by cost? The Newspaper-Work Scholarship (Shinbun Mainichi) is an official route for those with real grit who want to be financially independent from their very first day in Japan.
Through this program, you study at a Japanese Language School (Nihongo Gakko) for 2 years while working part-time delivering newspapers within a guaranteed system.
What Are the Benefits?
- Tuition Subsidy (SPP): A school-fee subsidy of around ±50,000 Yen/month.
- Steady Income: An estimated net salary of up to ±130,000 Yen/month (depending on your hours & region).
- Dormitory Provided: Accommodation is arranged (free/subsidised), so you can simply focus on your studies.
- 100% Legal: Work capped at 28 hours/week, fully compliant with Japanese Immigration rules for a Student Visa.
- Completion Bonus: An extra financial reward after finishing the 2-year program contract.
How Does the Work System Function?
The job runs on a shift system designed so it never disrupts your school hours:
- Morning Shift: Deliveries before school starts (dawn).
- Evening Shift: Deliveries after school ends.
- Time Management: It trains a high level of discipline, exactly the trait Japanese workplaces prize.
Who Is This Program For?
We're looking for candidates who don't merely want a "trip", but those who are:
- Mentally Tough: Ready to work through every season (hot/cold) with genuine dedication.
- Independent: Keen to fund their own life without burdening family back in Indonesia.
- Forward-Looking: Planning to continue a career or higher studies in Japan after graduating.
