Free Counseling Official website

Fees are taken from each school's official website (checked November 2026) and are confirmed, together with seat availability, during free counseling before you apply. KANSAI KOTOBA is an independent counseling service — listing a school does not imply a formal partnership or agency agreement with it. We never charge students: schools pay us a referral fee, and your tuition is the same as applying directly.
