Any message and/or advice to those who wish to study in Japan?

Japanese universities have many experienced professors and courses for international students to study degree courses and conduct research fields. These universities support study life of international students by providing many scholarships, and by spending money for them attending and presenting their search at domestic and international conferences. International students can exploit their potentials. Japanese people and environments are so kind and nice, although I do find that some basic Japanese skill may be required for a daily life. Also, intercultural events or activities might be a way to strengthen friendship among Japanese and international students.
