FAQ

Why ENJ?

We first discovered Japan through Work & Travel and later experienced it as language students, trying out different schools and teaching methods. We know the challenges of Japanese bureaucracy and help you navigate applications and official documents. Our team combines years of experience supporting travelers and language students in Japan – making it easier for you to enjoy an unforgettable stay.

ENJ stands for Einfach nach Japan – “Simply to Japan.” That’s exactly what we deliver: a smooth and personal travel experience. We design your trip around your interests, make arrival and departure stress-free, and support you throughout your stay with translations and practical information. Most importantly, we want you to truly experience Japan: authentic cultural encounters, traditional activities, and travel beyond the usual tourist hotspots. With ENJ, you don’t just visit Japan – you live it.

Absolutely! There are many ways to combine Japanese language learning with travel experiences. During a free, no-obligation consultation, we’ll help you find the option that suits you best. Just send us a message through our contact form.

In big cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, tourists crowd popular attractions, and many places are heavily adjusted to visitors. But Japan has so much more to offer. Away from these hotspots, you’ll rarely meet other tourists, and locals are genuinely happy to welcome you. Instead of rushing from one sight to another, we give you the chance to take part in festivals, discover traditions, and connect with the local culture. With ENJ, you travel Japan authentically – far beyond the tourist crowds.

Yes, absolutely – we’d be happy to welcome you!
Our office is in Eastern Hokkaido, chosen to reflect our philosophy of traveling Japan off the beaten path. Here, you’ll find wild landscapes, dancing red-crowned cranes, countless hot springs, and a rich cultural and historical heritage. It’s the perfect starting point for anyone wanting to travel Japan differently. You can stay on our farm and discover the region together with us during our Farmstay +
