Tokyo Internships with Beyond Academy

I had the most incredible 2 months in Japan, it exceeded all my expectations and really started to feel like home. My internship in the charity industry was everything I hoped for, my manager pushed me to be my best self and I’m so grateful for his support throughout my time here.
Stephanie and Fristy were amazing community coordinators and always made sure we were having a great time and having real Japanese experiences. I really loved the events that were organised for us.
The only negative is it was quite stressful getting my internship. My job was only sorted quite close to when I was meant to be flying out. However, as soon as it was confirmed it was only excitement from there.
I already cant wait to return to Japan!

My two months in Beyond Academy's programme in Tokyo was one of the best times in my life. I got to go explore and hang out in many different places in Tokyo, try out different foods, take part in many different events, and meet and have new friends thanks to Beyond Academy. It also allowed me to start my career strongly through the internship that they helped find for me, which was very engaging and fun. I would like to thank every single person (especially Stephanie and Fristy - the community cordinators) who works for Beyond Academy for this amazing unforgettable experience. I'd greatly recommend taking this program if you haven't already!

This was the most amazing two months of my life! I met so many interesting people, went to the most beautiful places and gained very valuable work experience though Beyond Academy's internship program. My internship company wanted to extend the internship even before and after the two months I was in Japan and I am still currently working for them. The coordinators were amazing and we became friends during my stay. I will continue this friendship past the Beyond Academy. I'm already planning my next stay in Japan. I have to come back! Also special thanks to Beyond Academy's finance side for working with my budget and having that flexibility so that I could attend this program. It was worth the money, and beyond.

Everything went very smoothly and without complications. I really enjoyed having the weekly activities planned by Beyond Academy where Stephanie and Fristy let us explore Japanese culture and food. They did a great job by showing us around Tokyo and always being there for us. The internship wasn't in the field I was looking for but it was a great experience nevertheless. The whole journey was a great adventure and I am really happy to have done it with Beyond Academy. I would have stayed for longer if I could but I am always going to remember it.

Although my program was a bit different than anticipated, I would not change it for the world. I always felt supported by my team, Imran, Anna, and even the Beyond community in other countries as a whole. The support I felt was just amazing. Feedback was taken well, events were always fun and unique, and I felt like the program was really customized to the city we were in. I learned a lot professionally and socially, and picked up some life skills and inspiration from other travelers along the way.

Amazing experience all around, great supporting program staff who are always available for any help. Tokyo is a great city to intern in as not only is it super safe it is also a great place to learn professional skills and mannerisms.
For me it’s always been a goal to visit Tokyo and the experience I received allowed to me experience it in the most fulfilling way. There is never a shortage of things to do and of course the food is second to none. Overall an excellent internship program for anyone looking to intern in Japan.

I had a wonderful three month internship in Tokyo facilitated by the amazing folks at Beyond Academy. The Beyond Academy team helped pair me up with a company, found me a place to stay, and planned tons of social events coordinated by the amazing Imran and Anabelle. Spending a few months in Japan was a great way to experience a different work culture, and Beyond Academy truly went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and to make my time in Tokyo fun and rewarding. I highly recommend this program to anyone with even a passing interest in Japan and Japanese culture.

My time in Tokyo was honestly the best experience ever. I was quite nervous before leaving but the help and support that the Beyond team gave me was really what made the entire experience so great. From helping me prepare for interviews to even advising me on what to pack for the trip! I arrived at a similar time as another intern, and we were picked up from the airport by the community manager. Being able to meet others who were new in town during orientation really helped me settle in as well, and my worries went away pretty quickly.

The internship itself was fantastic. I worked hard but it was really worth it. My team (and the company in general) was really international and I was able to work on a range of projects that put my marketing degree to the test. Tokyo was very different to home but more the reason to love it. I got to try lots of local Japanese food that we just don't get in the UK. I have to say that I’m completely in love with Japanese food now, and despite my failed attempt at making sushi again after our class in Tokyo, I’ve bought a new Japanese cookbook! Most Japanese people in Tokyo speak a little English, but despite the language barrier everyone was just so friendly and nice. I’m planning to visit Japan again with my family next year, and hopefully see the sakura season this time round!.
