About us

Go! Go! Nihon Live and Study in Japan!

Go! Go! Nihon was founded in 2009 by two Japanese language school students, Davide and John. They wanted to make it easier for others like them to live and study in Japan after their own application experiences were filled with endless paperwork and communication difficulties.

Since then, Go! Go! Nihon has proudly helped more than 11000 people from around the world fulfill their dreams of living and studying in Japan. The service is offered in seven languages and has grown to include study in Korea (Go! Go! Hanguk), study in Spain (Go! Go! Espana), Study Trips, and online courses.

Our Team

Our team comes from over 23 different countries!

Davide Rossi

Davide

CEO

Davide came to Japan in 2008 to study Japanese. At that time, there wasn’t a service like Go! Go! Nihon and it was extremely difficult for him to choose the right language school, accommodation, and get familiar with the different culture. He decided to start Go! Go! Nihon to help more people to have the best experience of their life and to come live and study in Japan.

Fede

Country Manager

Fede first came to Japan in 2010 and couldn’t keep away, officially moving from Italy to Japan in 2014.  He launched our first Japanese study trips and has been helping grow the business ever since. He now manages all of Go! Go! Nihon operations.

Annie

Coordinator Team Manager
Annie fell in love with Japan during her first visit as a teenager and she eventually moved to Japan in 2016. She started at Go! Go! Nihon as a Student Coordinator supporting English-speaking students and later became Manager of the Student and School Coordinator team. Her team’s mission is to help as many students as possible realize their dream of living and studying in Japan.
