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.

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

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

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

JLPT

JLPT N5-N1, vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening and preparation materials.

School and company directories

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

Materials and services

Templates, checklists, translation, airport pickup, procedure support and application coaching.

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.
