The Japan Working-Holiday Association (JAWHM), a non-profit organization that supports and promotes the working holiday system, is pleased to announce a major renewal of its official website.
This renewal involved a complete redesign and restructuring of the site with the aim of creating a more 'understandable' and 'user-friendly' experience for users considering working holidays and studying abroad.
■ Renewal Highlights
The renewal focused on the following improvements:
- Reorganization of information structure for quicker access to necessary information
- Improved readability through optimization for smartphone displays
- Enhanced navigation for seminars and counseling sessions
- Improved clarity of cost/plan information
- Introductory design that is easy for first-time visitors to understand
■ Background of the Renewal
In recent years, information gathering for working holidays and study abroad has diversified, and users tend to prioritize 'getting to the necessary information in a short amount of time.'
To meet these needs, we have reviewed the conventional information layout and strengthened the user-centric navigation design.
■ Future Developments
Building on this renewal, we will proceed with providing more practical information, including:
- Enhanced dissemination of the latest working holiday and study abroad information
- Integration with apps and seminars
- Provision of optimal information tailored to each user

■ What is a Working Holiday?
The working holiday system is a scheme based on agreements between two countries/regions, where each country/region mutually allows young people from the other country/region to spend a certain period of vacation in their own country/region to understand its culture and general lifestyle, and to engage in employment to supplement their travel funds during their stay.
Unlike tourist visas, study visas, student visas, or work visas, it is a special visa limited to young people, which allows for a high degree of freedom, enabling them to stay anywhere, travel anywhere, work, or attend a language school.
■ 45th Working Holiday Anniversary Campaign
Japan signed a working holiday agreement with Australia, and the first working holiday visa in Japan was approved on December 1, 1980. To encourage more people to use the working holiday system during this anniversary year, we are launching various projects under the theme 'Making Every Working Holiday the Best Experience,' and will be sharing them throughout the year on a special website and social media.
