Care Giving

Understanding Japanese Caregiving (Kaigo)

A common point of confusion for many international students is distinguishing between Nursing Care (介護 - Kaigo) and Medical Nursing (看護 - Kango).

In Japan, Kaigo possesses its own unique professional specialization. It serves as an absolute necessity for foundational daily living support rather than strictly clinical medical treatment. Because of this unique professional nature, our curriculum is guided by experienced trainers who bring real-world field experience directly into the classroom.

"Nursing care is not just a job; it is a vital role focused on walking alongside someone throughout their life, delivering peace of mind and bringing smiles to their faces."

I have been involved in the field of nursing care in Japan, accumulating learning and experience. Nursing care is not just a job; it is an important role focused on walking alongside someone throughout their life, delivering peace of mind and bringing smiles to their faces. I feel a great sense of reward in this. Students from Nepal often confuse "Nursing Care" (Kaigo) with "Medical Nursing" (Kango), but Japanese nursing care possesses its own unique specialization and is an indispensable presence as a support for daily life. Because of this, I believe it is important for those of us with field experience to convey concrete caregiving details and help them deepen their understanding.

At Hayabusa Japanese Language School, we provide an environment where students can learn not only the language but also the mindset and practical skills of nursing care. By guiding students to understand caregiving correctly so they can work with confidence in the field, we cultivate human resources that receiving facilities can welcome with peace of mind. Young people from Nepal are diligent, compassionate, and have a strong desire to be helpful to others. If they can harness those strengths within Japan's caregiving sector, it will undoubtedly lead to an immense contribution. I want to serve as that bridge, building the future of nursing care while growing together with the students.
