🖋️ Director's Message

A personal note from our Founder & Director

Because every student who walks into our Kathmandu office deserves more than a brochure — they deserve an honest plan.

SO
Founder & Director

When I started Hanabi, I had one simple belief: a student's dream to study or work in Japan shouldn't be complicated by unclear guidance, inflated promises, or hidden costs. Too many families I met had been let down by consultancies that treated their visa application like a transaction instead of a life decision.

That's why every certificate we translate, every mock interview we run, and every COE document we prepare carries the same standard of care — the one I'd want for my own family. We say no to applications we don't believe in, and we say exactly what a timeline will really cost in time, money, and effort, before you commit to anything.

Whether you're eighteen and starting your first Japanese class, or ready to apply for your SSW visa, you have my personal commitment that Hanabi will guide you honestly, step by step, until you're settled in Japan.
