Tokyo Internships with Beyond Academy

I really enjoyed my 8-week internship in Tokyo. When I was looking for an international internship, Beyond Academy seemed to be the most affordable, but also highly rated. The support team on ground were extremely helpful and offered assistance to anyone who needed it. If you’re looking for a fun experience and internship, Beyond Academy is the agency to chose!
However, on a personal note, if you want to visit Tokyo for an internship, try to go before or after summer — it’s extremely humid and hot!

This is great for someone who wants business experience in Tokyo but doesn’t know how or where to start. They pair you with a good company. I learned a lot about working in Japan. There are a lot of great events. My favorite was the mount Fuji day trip. Communication was also excellent! Made many friends and memories. My internship was the right amount of working to learning ratio. I knew almost zero Japanese before coming and I felt very although it would have been helpful at times you only need to know the basics. I would recommend visiting Japan before taking this opportunity however as there is a learning curve.

One day I was just scrolling around Instagram and then suddenly I came across an ad from Beyond Academy. It sparked my interest because I wanted to get an internship to boost up my resume & also explore Japan as well. So I went through the process & eventually I landed an internship in Tokyo. When I first landed in Haneda Airport for the first time, it felt so surreal to me because going to Japan has been my dream for a while & now it finally came true. My internship experience was really amazing, the office I worked at was great & I made friends with my fellow co-workers. My boss was also super goated as well, he would usually provide snacks for us & even treated dinner for us one day. I also made some good friends with the other interns through the many events in this program & made a ton of memories in Tokyo that I'll cherish forever. If you're reading this review right now, I definitely recommend signing up for this program if you're interested in doing an internship in Japan. Sure, the trip will cost a lot of money depending on how long you stay but both the internship & exploring what Japan has to offer will definitely be worth the money & the experience at the same time.

I did a six month internship in Tokyo and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was incredible to be able to work and explore in Tokyo. I was able to build up experience for my resume while immersing myself in a different culture, meeting different people, and seeing so many amazing sights. There are varying options for industries to intern in and places to spend the internship. I was also able to improve my language skills however it was not necessary for the workspace. There were also community activities to participate in almost every week and it’s easy to meet other interns. I highly recommend this to students who want to build their resume while traveling a new place.

The Tokyo Program was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I met people and took part in activities that I would’ve otherwise never done, and the Beyond team were so helpful the entire time. From the moment you sign up until the day you leave Tokyo the team are on hand to help you with any worries or issues you may have, all while providing wonderful experiences for you to enjoy with others on the program. There were a great variety of events, all of which I loved doing. I couldn't recommend Beyond Academy enough to anyone who wants to see the sights of Tokyo while also getting a unique internship experience.

The Beyond Academy Tokyo program is an incredible program I'd recommend to anyone who's interested. From the moment you sign up to the day you leave Japan, they are so helpful and kind, and I think where they especially shine is with the local team. The local help team has been absolutely amazing throughout my whole time in Japan, and I honestly could not have asked for them to be any better.

Beyond Academy also organises a huge number of events for interns to attend, with there usually being one on Thursday evenings and Sunday daytimes. These events are super useful for getting integrated in Tokyo, as well as getting to know your fellow interns better. Some of the events organised during my time here were a day trip to mount fuji, an afternoon in the historic area of asakusa wearing kimonos, a tour of different natural disasters and how to deal with them, held by the Tokyo fire department, and many more.

All in all, this is a wonderful program, that I wholeheartedly support, and I'm so glad I chose to do it, having made many friends and great experiences to remember it by. I 100% recommend anyone considering it to give it a try.

If you're considering doing an internship through Beyond Academy, I'd say do not hesitate! Although the onboarding process was a bit shaky and lacked clarity, BA matched me with an amazing company in Tokyo. Words cannot describe how much I loved working with my boss and I'm so grateful for the doors of opportunity and relationships that have opened through it. Not to mention, the BA staff is stellar. They go above and beyond for the interns, and always checked in to make sure I was doing okay and adjusting. I'm so excited to go back and see them again!

All I can say is Wow! This was not my first time in Japan, I went in 2019 with another Internship program at the time, and and to put it mildly the experience left somethings to be desired. However I decided to take another chance and found out about Beyond Academy. I'm glad I made the choice. The team, from onboarding to Finance, and then the support staff and Coordinators you meet in Japan, all went above and beyond to ensure and everything is up to par, and should you need help they are never a moments message away. Never in my dreams did I expect to go to Mount Fuji two days before my birthday! The events that they plan for the group range from exciting trips to well known and hidden secrets of Japan. For Dinners or lunches the Coordinators will work with whatever food conditions you have and plan accordingly. I'd like to thank the staff - Alize, Stephanie and Fristy - for their hard word and dedication. 11/10 Would recommend to anyone whose is visiting Japan for the first time, or if you want to plan another experience for yourself!
