Program Reviews

Hi, my name is Takoda and I’m from the USA. I did an internship in Tokyo because I wanted to gain valuable and unique experience. I’m partly Japanese so being in touch with my own culture was very important to me. 8-weeks sounded very long in the beginning but time flew by; I learned a new thing during my internship every day. My boss invited me to meetings, network events and we went on a business trip together to Kyoto.

The staff at Intern in Japan is great, they are very involved with everything and try their best to make you feel at home. I am definitely considering doing the same thing next year!

My internship was mainly focused on marketing and PR-related tasks. I had to promote our financial services through online media and direct marketing. We would organize several network events.
I don’t speak Japanese but managed to book a venue and catering by myself. I had to create invitations and online promotions as well. My supervisor and co-workers helped me out a lot. Through work I made great connections and am still in touch with some of my housemates. I couldn’t have done this without Intern in Japan’s help; thanks guys.
