Tokyo internship experience review

It’s hard to put the whole 6 months of my time in Japan in a short review but here goes!

I have gained so much from my time here and through the internship I ended up doing! I’m a photographer and landed an internship that basically had me capturing marketing visuals for their companies. My boss was so helpful and taught me so much and I was lucky enough to really gain vital experiences in my field! I was lucky as not every intern had a perfect fit, but I’m super grateful I did!

The social and cultural side of the experience was as great if not better! The interns were an integral part of my time here, and I made great new friends! The coordinators were there for every problem or question that arose and always knew where to point, even if there was no answer available at the exact moment. All in all, I would definitely recommend stepping outside your comfort zone and giving it a try!

Also, regarding the internship, it really does depend on YOU whether you enjoy or get the most out of it! The more you ask and push your company to give you more things, the more you will get. It’s not just enough to sit there and think that once you get to Japan, the rest will come to you.
