Embassy recommendation means applying from your home country—like I did from Imphal—while university recommendation is when a Japanese professor picks you directly, which is rarer. The preparatory year is a language course in Japan before your degree, but I skipped it because my research lab used English. Honestly, the embassy route felt more phijigee for someone like me, just a girl with a scooter and strong recommendation letters, because the prep year would’ve delayed sending money home to my brother.
