Internship in Japan

Amazing summer with professional growth, earning work experience with cultural discovery. I gained skills that will be useful on my journey and future job, but also discovered japanese culture and its workplace. However it all went beyond the office as I was able to try amazing food, see japanese traditions and daily life. AIP team was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and supported my whole journey! I would recommend it to anybody looking for an internship abroad, as it was an amazing experience.

Life-Changing Internship Experience in Japan

Asia Internship Program truly changed my life forever. Through their program, I was given the incredible opportunity to travel to Japan and spend three months immersed in a culture that I had always admired from afar. During this time, I not only gained valuable professional and personal experience but also grew in ways I never imagined possible.

Living in Japan taught me independence, resilience, and adaptability. I made lifelong friends, embraced new perspectives, and discovered more about myself along the way. The memories I created—from exploring the beauty of Japanese traditions to navigating everyday life—are unforgettable and will stay with me forever.

I am proud to have called Japan my home during this period, even if just for a few months, and I am deeply grateful to Asia Internship Program for making it possible. This journey was more than just an internship—it was a turning point in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Asia Internship Program to anyone seeking growth, adventure, and a truly transformative experience abroad.

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments of my entire trip was when I visited Nara. I thought I’d peacefully feed the famous deer… but instead, they ganged up on me like a hungry squad! 🦌😂 The second they saw food in my hands, they started nudging, chasing, and even bowing for snacks. I was laughing and running at the same time, trying to keep up with them. It felt like I was the main character in a comedy show—and honestly, it became one of my favorite memories from Japan!

Summer Internship in Japan!

I had an excellent experience with AIP for my summer internship in Tokyo, Japan. The team was present and helpful throughout every step of the process, from the interviewing and placement stage, to pre-arrival materials and preparation, and finally any assistance that I required while being here in the country. They helped me solve any problems I faced and were constantly supportive. I would recommend AIP to anyone looking to complete an internship experience overseas, it was truly fantastic and allowed me to gain valuable professional insights.

Japan AIP

I had an incredible experience thanks to Asia Internship Program! With their support, I was able to secure a rewarding internship in Japan that perfectly matched my academic background and personal interests.

From the beginning, the process was clear and well-organized, which made everything much less stressful. The AIP team – especially Kate and Herlyn – were extremely helpful, professional, and friendly throughout the entire journey.

They always made sure I was informed and confident at every stage, and even after I arrived in Japan, they kept in touch to make sure everything was going smoothly. I really appreciated how involved and caring they were even after the placement was done – it shows how committed they are to the full experience.

Living and working in Japan has been a huge step forward for me, both professionally and personally, and I couldn’t have done it without AIP’s help.

If you’re considering an internship abroad and want a team that truly supports you from start to finish, I highly recommend AIP!

Internship in Tokyo

I had an amazing experience with AIP!! After deciding between university and other options I settled on an internship and AIP helped streamline the entire process allowing me to have an amazing internship in Japan! The process was easy with an interview being secured pretty quickly. The interview went smoothly and I ended up in Tokyo! I had a lot of fun during my internship and couldn’t recommend it more for anyone hoping to gain experience in their desired field and experience living in a different country.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
i decided to go to a concert on my own!! it was in nagoya and as my intership was in tokyo i had to travel alone and i was pretty nervous. but overall i had fun

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with AIP!

Interning in Japan through AIP was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Japan is one of the most beautiful and unique countries I’ve ever visited, and I enjoyed every moment of my internship abroad. From meeting incredible new people to gaining valuable skills and immersing myself in a different culture, this experience exceeded all my expectations.

A huge shoutout to Herlyn and Kate, who were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. They were incredibly helpful, always checking in on me, promptly responding to my questions, and making sure everything ran smoothly, from organising company interviews to arranging accommodation and even giving me great tips for Japan. Their support made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable!

If you're considering interning overseas, I highly recommend AIP, it’s an opportunity you won’t regret!

Would recommend - had the best time!

I had an amazing experience with AIP during my 4-week internship in Tokyo! From start to finish, everything was well-organised, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The internship placement was a great fit, allowing me to gain valuable hands-on experience while immersing myself in Japanese work culture.

One of the highlights was the accommodation—it was in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore Tokyo during my free time. Having a comfortable and convenient place to stay really added to the experience.

A special shoutout to Herlyn, who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She was always there to answer any questions and made sure everything went smoothly. Her support made a huge difference, and I truly appreciated it!

Overall, I highly recommend AIP for anyone looking for an international internship experience. It’s a great way to gain work experience while exploring an amazing city like Tokyo!

Japan Internship

AIP helped me find a great internship in Japan. When looking for opportunities from the UK, I found it very difficult to understand the process and to find companies which accept English-only speakers. Luckily, AIP helped me create a good CV and contacted multiple companies to set up interviews. My internship was 6 months long and I enjoyed all of it! I was lucky to have really kind coworkers and despite leaving Japan, I’m sure I will see them again. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and helping me make my first step :)

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind, things don’t always go your way but it all depends on your perspective. I recommend learning some Japanese as you may struggle without it. You don’t need to do the JLPT tests but knowing a few basics would definitely help!
Pros
  • Fun
  • Meeting new people
  • Understanding yourself more
Cons
  • Can feel a little lonely at times
  • The moving process is not easy
