At Khantsubaki, we understand that adjusting to life in Japan requires more than just travel arrangements. That’s why our Japan-focused Pre-Departure Sessions are carefully designed to guide you through every aspect of living, studying, and thriving in Japan.
We don’t just send you to Japan — we prepare you to live, study, and succeed there.

🗾 Understanding Life in Japan
Japan is unique in its blend of tradition and modernity. Our sessions give you practical insights into the Japanese way of life — so you’re ready from day one.
We’ll guide you through:
- What to pack based on Japan’s seasonal weather — humid summers, cold winters, rainy seasons
- How to navigate trains, subways, IC cards (Suica/PASMO), and bicycle rules
- Japan’s social etiquette: bowing, punctuality, silence in public spaces, etc.
- Local currency (JPY), ATM usage, opening hours, and convenience store hacks
- Emergency contacts (police 110, ambulance/fire 119), national insurance, and basic healthcare options
➡️ You’ll arrive ready to adapt, respect, and integrate with Japanese society.
🏠 From Airport to Accommodation in Japan
Landing in a new country after a long flight can be disorienting — especially in Japan where English signage may be limited.
We help you with:
- Arranging airport pickup or guiding you on airport-to-city train/bus connections (like Narita Express, Limousine Bus, etc.)
- Step-by-step support on reaching your hostel, dorm, or share house
- Tips for apartment hunting using local platforms like SUUMO or GaijinPot
- Understanding Japanese rental terms (key money, guarantors, agency fees, etc.)
- Ensuring your first days in Japan feel safe, organized, and welcoming
🗣️ Language & Cultural Adjustment Support
Japanese culture is beautiful but very different. Our sessions ensure you’re not caught off guard.
We help you:
- Learn essential Japanese phrases for greetings, shopping, and asking for help
- Understand unspoken social rules: removing shoes indoors, separating garbage, no phone calls on trains, etc.
- Recognize and manage cultural shock, communication differences, and homesickness
- Adjust to Japanese food, dining etiquette (e.g., slurping noodles is OK!), and chopstick usage
- Respect public behavior, silence norms, and the concept of harmony (wa)
➡️ You’ll learn to feel comfortable and respectful — not confused or out of place.
🎓 Orientation & University Life in Japan
Universities in Japan are structured and formal. Our orientation briefings help you step in with confidence.
You’ll learn about:
- What happens during Japanese university orientations: campus tours, ID card distribution, insurance sign-ups, etc.
- What documents to carry: CoE, visa, passport copies, resident card, health check certificates
- How to communicate respectfully with professors, international student offices, and classmates

- Academic expectations: class punctuality, attendance, submitting reports, and grading systems
➡️ We make sure you start your university life in Japan with clarity and confidence.
💳 Bank Account & SIM Setup in Japan
Managing money and connectivity is crucial. Our experts walk you through everything step-by-step.
We guide you on:
- Opening a Japanese bank account (e.g., Japan Post Bank, Shinsei Bank) with minimal language issues
- Understanding requirements like My Number Card, Zairyu Card, seal (inkan), and student ID
- Getting a SIM card or pocket WiFi that suits your budget and needs (Y!Mobile, Rakuten, Sakura Mobile, etc.)
