10/10 - Exactly what I was looking for

I did a 6-month internship in Tokyo with Beyond Academy and had a great experience overall. The internship lined up well with what I was aiming for, both personally and professionally.

Tokyo is just an incredible city to live in. There’s always something happening, the food is unreal, and every neighborhood has its own vibe. I visited twice before this program, but living and working here is completely different (in a good way ofc).

The coordinators, Olivia and Stephanie, were amazing. They’re super fun, easy to talk to, and always ready to help with anything - from hospital visits to food recommendations. They made the whole experience super smooth and enjoyable.

The accommodation was clean, safe, and in a great location. Living with other interns was fun and made it easier to settle in. I can say I definitely made some lifelong friends through the program.

I was skeptical at first about the events, but they were actually great - well-planned, varied, and a fun way to explore Tokyo and meet people without it feeling forced.

As a bonus, I actually ended up landing a full-time job in Japan after the internship, which would've never happened if it wasn't for the program lol.

Overall, I’d absolutely recommend the program to anyone serious about gaining international work experience and exploring Tokyo/Japan.
