Machi Guide

Make each step of life in Japan easier to understand.

Machi Guide follows the real processes people face: daily paperwork, study, careers, JLPT, school and company research, and practical services. It is the knowledge side of Machi, but not the whole product.

Our current focus

Life in Japan

Banking, mobile plans, pension, insurance, city office procedures, housing and part-time work.

Study in Japan

Graduate school, vocational schools, research plans, professor outreach and application materials.

Career in Japan

Resume, rirekisho, ES, interviews, company selection and visa change.

Online JLPT preparation

N5–N1 study, vocabulary quizzes, timed online mock exams, reference results, and mistake review.

School and company directories

Universities, graduate schools, vocational schools, language schools and foreigner-friendly company references.

Materials and services

Templates, checklists, a personal workbench, and bookable services whose provider, scope, price, and limits are stated separately.

From understanding to action

Editorial guides

Break a complex process into preparation, submission, waiting, and follow-up steps, with update dates and reference context.

School and company directories

Compare schools, programs, industries, and companies through structured fields instead of a generic overview.

Machi AI

Uses Machi guides and data to answer in Chinese, Japanese, or English, while directing important matters back to official or qualified sources.

Open

JLPT exams and AI explanations

Mock exams use original or licensed practice. Reference scores and AI explanations support study; they are not official results or a pass guarantee.

Before you rely on a guide

Guide is one part of Machi

Machi also includes city content, housing, secondhand exchange, jobs, Q&A, local groups, businesses, and services.

Information is not a guarantee

Study, visa, employment, housing, and banking outcomes depend on personal documents, third parties, and local rules. Confirm important matters with official or qualified sources.

Content will keep changing

We are going deeper in Japan first, then expanding to other countries and regions as city needs become clear.
