And its still pissing down, though I managed to drop into Kiinokuniya
late this afternoon. They do have a "study in Japan" section, its
adjoining the lesbian in Japan section (but only 1/3 the length). As
with LP (I browsed their recent edition too) it doesn't even mention
the student visa (instead refers to "cultural" visas) which suggests
that it is a plagiarisation of an embarrasingly bad JNTO file
translated into English in 1998. Both also mention that fees of "up to
650,000 yen per year" might be expensive, so you will need to work.....
which rules out at least 284 of the 301 accredited schools in Japan. Oh
well.
