Learn care work in Japan —
in your language, before you arrive.
From your phone, understand both the mindset and the on-the-job words of Japanese elderly care. Gentle courses you can finish in 7 minutes — built by a real care provider.
Why it works
On your phone, anytime
Fit it into a commute or a break. Not videos — short courses you read in 7 minutes, so it is easy to keep going.
In your language
Understand the basics in your own language first, then bridge to the Japanese words used on the floor. Less worry about language.
Built by real caregivers
Made by an actual care facility, "Hanahiro" — covering only what truly matters on the job.
From basics to specialty
Step by step: the caring mindset, how to speak to residents, safe transfers — up to role-based skill development.
Who it is for
- People preparing to come to Japan under the Technical Intern or Specified Skilled Worker programs
- Those already working in Japan who want more confidence
- Care employers, registered support organizations, supervising organizations, and sending organizations working with foreign care workers

Aiming to become a certified care worker?
Specified Skilled Worker (i) status allows a total stay of up to 5 years. If you obtain the certified care worker (Kaigo Fukushishi) qualification, you can keep working in Japan under the "Nursing Care" residence status. Prepare with 1,000 original questions that follow the scope of the national exam, plus 33 courses that summarize each subject in about 7 minutes.
Questions are in Japanese, as in the real exam. A Myanmar translation can be shown under each question (Myanmar only at present).
From before arrival to passing the certified care worker exam
For sending organizations, registered support organizations, and supervising organizations: added value for the people you introduce. For employers: support for retention and qualification.
Before arrival
The 15 basic care courses in English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Myanmar, and Chinese, as well as Japanese — an early look at how care works in Japan and the words used on the job.
After arrival
Legally required training (abuse prevention, infection control, BCP, and more) delivered and recorded in the same system as your Japanese staff. For those working in home-visit care, 10 home-care courses are also available.
Up to the exam year
Certified care worker exam prep: 1,000 questions and 33 summary courses. A Myanmar translation can be shown under each Japanese question.
Raising the pass rate
In the 38th national exam, the overall pass rate was 70.1%, while it was 33.0% for candidates with Specified Skilled Worker (i) status (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). To help close this gap, learning continues in the same system from before arrival to the exam year.
Made by a care provider
Fuku-Hiroba Learning grew out of the training materials that Hanahiro Inc. — a company running day care and rehabilitation services in Fukushima, Japan — created to develop its own staff. We care about what genuinely helps on the floor, not empty ideals.
