“I am Mrs. Tri, parent of Christofer Dylan Erland Manase. Dylan joined the Japanese language program at Nakamura in March 2025 and passed Japanese N4, then continued with the MEXT scholarship preparation program at Nakamura. When my son did not make it through the MEXT scholarship, Nakamura moved quickly with the best solutions — from recommending language schools and study routes that matched what he wanted, through to offering the study programs he was after. I still remember clearly how Sensei Catherine from Nakamura helped recommend Japanese language schools partnered with Nakamura and helped my son get into the October 2026 language school intake, and how Nakamura's admin — Ka Azura — promptly helped me process the important documents late into the night. (Even though we live in Jakarta and Nakamura is in Medan), that was never an obstacle to Nakamura helping us. Ka Azura's dedication in helping us complete the paperwork was extraordinary, and we are now waiting for our child's CoE. (Thanks a bunch Ka Azura, Thanks Nakamura). I truly recommend Nakamura Study Japan to anyone who wants to study and continue their education in Japan.”
