Welcome to The Sakae Guide homepage!

Sakae Yoko In October 2006, SISA launched the first and only Japanese-language college guide website, The Sakae Guide to U.S. Colleges and Universities. It is a comprehensive online resource providing information about U.S. colleges and universities, in Japanese and Chinese.

The Japanese government (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) selected Sakae Institute for a competitive grant to sponsor this website. Students preparing to study abroad visit www.ryugaku.ne.jp, which includes information on over 1,400 four year schools and their programs of study, sports offerings, SAT/ACT scores, and admissions criteria.

Sakae Yoko We provide our own in-depth description of each school based on independent research and our unique ability to see each school from the perspective of the Japanese and Chinese students. We also rate each school (1.0-5.0), based on its suitability for international students, taking into consideration factors such as support services, safety, on-campus housing availability, and retention rate.


Advertising with us will allow you to become a featured school on our website. There will be several links to your full-page advertisement from various links on the website.
