About Program
As the capital of Japan, Tokyo offers strong internship placements and students are never at a loss for things to do. While you’re there, you can enjoy fresh seafood, explore the art and history of the city, and go shopping in one of its many malls. The city is easy to navigate with its extensive metro which has signs in Japanese and English. The city is incredibly clean and safe, too.
An internship in Tokyo will give you experience in one of the world’s fastest-moving economies with placements available in a wide range of industries such as Business and Marketing, Education, and Information Technology and Computer Science. Being a global economic hub, supervisors' expectations of interns tend to be higher than in other ISA Internships locations, and knowing some Japanese could be helpful in a country where most people don't speak English.
