The Japan Education Expo is a premier event for students both from Japan and overseas to explore higher education, vocational schools and language programs in Japan and other countries.
The Osaka leg of the Expo presented here saw 7500 visitors and 120 exhibitors last year, receiving students from all over the country.
Over 91,000 Japanese students choose to study abroad each year, a number steadily rebounding toward pre-pandemic peaks as young minds seek global perspectives.Simultaneously, Japan has solidified its status as an educational powerhouse, hosting a record-breaking 408,000 international students.
Continuous efforts are being made by the Japanese government and the private sector to foster global talent, with a core national target of sending 500,000 Japanese students abroad annually by 2033 while expanding university-industry collaboration. With this powerful emphasis on two-way internationalization, Japan remains a premier global hub for higher education, innovation, and cross-border research.
Supported by key educational authorities, the Japan Education Expo is superbly timed to align with major graduation and university entrance periods. During this pivotal time, students and parents will be eagerly collecting vital information on programs, scholarships, and institutions of higher learning to pursue their future goals.
For many students, a visit to this expo marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. This is where they make crucial decisions—not only on their specific field of study, but also on the academic institutions that will help them shape their future careers. For others, the fair is the perfect venue to gather insights and compare options to make a well-informed choice for their educational journey.
