    • Asean Op says:

      It is not always required to have a proficiency in Japanese to study in Japan, even though knowledge of Japanese is mostly required. You could have a look for English-taught programs in Japan, or take information about the Japanese level required depending on the program you wish to apply for if you wish to study in Japan.
