Bali's HIBIKI ACADEMY to Use Manga-Style Materials for Japan-Bound Trainee Program

HIBIKI ACADEMY BALI, a Denpasar-based institution providing Japanese language education and training for technical intern and specified skilled worker programs, has commissioned a Japanese company to produce manga-style educational materials. The manga will be used to explain program details to Indonesians preparing to work in Japan.

NSJAPAN, a Tokyo-based firm supporting Japanese companies' overseas expansion, announced that its client, LOC Inc. (Nagoya), has received an order to produce manga-style creative materials for HIBIKI ACADEMY BALI, an educational institution in Denpasar, Bali.

HIBIKI ACADEMY BALI opened in Denpasar in January 2024. It offers Japanese language and culture education, as well as training and placement support for Indonesians entering Japan's Technical Intern Training and Specified Skilled Worker programs, along with English and Indonesian language courses. It is located at Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai No.788, Pemogan, Denpasar Selatan.

The manga materials are intended to explain program structures, curriculum content, and the process applicants go through, information that can be difficult to convey through text alone.

This follows an earlier announcement from NSJAPAN regarding approximately 7 million yen in orders generated through a Bali trade show and local sales visits, as part of its ongoing effort to convert local business contacts into continued orders.

Note that this announcement concerns a business arrangement between Japanese companies and does not reflect any new regulation or change affecting the daily life or travel of tourists or foreign residents in Bali.

Things to Consider

This is a corporate business announcement with no direct action required from general tourists or residents. Those interested in Japan-bound employment or the Technical Intern/Specified Skilled Worker programs should verify any training institution's legitimacy and government registration through official channels, and carefully review contract terms and fees in writing before enrolling.
