Prepare for Your Career in Japan
A comprehensive coaching and preparation programme for UK-based students and graduates aiming to build a career in Japan.
From £500 – £700
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for Ambitious Japanese-speaking Talent in the UK
Many UK students and graduates dream of working in Japan but find the path unclear. The hiring process is unfamiliar, employers expect different standards from Western recruitment, and visa requirements add another layer of complexity.
The Takumix Career Package is a structured coaching programme that prepares you for every stage — from CV writing and mock interviews through to cultural training and visa guidance.
This is an education and preparation service designed by founders who graduated from UEA, a JF さくらネットワーク-recognised institution, and who have worked across both UK and Japanese professional environments.

⚖ Important: This is an Education Service
The Takumix Career Package is a career coaching, training and preparation service. It is not a recruitment service or job placement service.
Specifically, this means: we do not introduce you to specific employers, we do not guarantee interviews or job offers, and your fee is for the coaching content only — it is never tied to whether you receive a job offer.
Job listings on our platform are free for all candidates and applying to those listings does not require purchasing this package. The Career Package is an entirely optional coaching service that helps you prepare more effectively, regardless of where or how you apply.
Takumix is currently structured as an education provider and job advertising platform. We plan to obtain formal recruitment licensing in both jurisdictions in due course; until then, we do not act as a recruitment agency.
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
Targeted Support When You Need It
Education-focused add-ons available at any stage. Each is purchased separately as needed and is independent of the main package.

Additional Mock Interview
Extra mock interview session beyond the standard 2–3 included. English or Japanese.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does this package guarantee I'll get a job in Japan?
No. The Career Package is a preparation and coaching service. It is designed to make you a stronger applicant, but hiring decisions are made entirely by employers. We are transparent about this because it matters legally and ethically.
Q. Do I need to buy this package to apply for jobs listed on Takumix?
Absolutely not. Job listings on Takumix are free for all candidates. The Career Package is a completely separate optional coaching service. You can apply to any listing without ever purchasing it.
Q. What level of Japanese do I need?
The package is designed for candidates with JLPT N3 and above, though some components are valuable at lower levels too. The Japanese-format CV and Japanese-language interview add-ons are recommended for N2 and above.
Q. Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. The package is payable in full at sign-up or in instalments by arrangement. Please contact us to discuss instalment plans.
Q. Is there a refund if I don't get a job?
No. The fee covers coaching, training and education content delivered to you, regardless of your job application outcomes. This separation is intentional — the price reflects the value of the coaching itself, not the outcome of any application.
Q. What about visa support?
We provide general guidance on Japanese work visa categories and the application process. Actual visa applications must be handled by qualified 行政書士 (immigration specialists) — we can refer you to partners when needed.
