A Guide to Interning Abroad in Tokyo

Popular Fields/Sectors

The first step to finding an internship in Tokyo is selecting your field of placement. Here are some of the most popular types of internships in Tokyo to get the ball rolling:

Popular fields of work. Not only is Tokyo the most populous city on the planet, but it also has the largest metropolitan economy and is a hugely influential center of global business. So international business, finance, and technology are all popular areas of placement in Tokyo. On the other hand, Tokyo is also the cultural center of Japan and thus affords many internship opportunities in more artistic fields, such as fashion design and architecture as well.

Short term internships/summer internships vs. long-term internships. As a general rule of thumb, short term internships in Tokyo will typically require a commitment of at least a few weeks, but long-term internships are common and placements are available throughout the year.

Paid vs. unpaid internships in Tokyo. It is certainly possible to find a paid internship in Tokyo, but typically most internships are unpaid and instead may compensate interns with a combination of free meals, housing, and a stipend. Spend time researching different internship options and find the perfect internship abroad in Tokyo that matches your budget and interests.
