Explore Japan Internship with Meiji Internships

I’ve always been the type who enjoys the road less travelled, which is why I chose to do my internship in Hokkaido! Tokyo just doesn’t have that much of an appeal to me, its way too crowded, full of tourists, and too fast-paced. Hokkaido is the opposite of everything I just said! I worked with a small business locally-famous for it’s milk, (when I first tried it, I immediately understood why… Hokkaido milk is no joke!) which was an area of business I never imagined myself working in. Although I was working more on the admin side of things and never even touched a cow while I was there, I really enjoyed being in the presence of a group of people so passionate about their craft. They also really valued their workers, every morning we gathered for a short catch up talk and drunk milk together (I mostly used this as an opportunity to show off the Japanese I’d learnt) - you wouldn’t find that in Tokyo! Hokkaido is just awesome. The countryside is like being on another planet, yet you still have these bustling urban cities like Sapporo. I will say it’s not quite for the faint of heart though, the winters are pretty brutal and you should be prepared to have your life temporarily dictated by the weather. With that being said, I’d definitely recommend Hokkaido as an internship destination, and make sure to try the milk while you’re there!

I would like to praise Meiji Internships for finding me the very high quality placement for my internship. I could ask them any question and they would address my problem. They always immediately to help me. Additionally, they helped us not only before the internship but also during it, and it is thanks to them because I got a great opportunity to see my dream city of OSAKA! My internship was with IT, and I helped my company with the IT tasks for their new product launch. Sometimes the work was a bit difficult but really I am not here for an easy time! Because it was difficult I felt that I could learn so much. To be specifically, I have now mastered Microsoft Excel, and also website softwares like Wordpress and Webflow. These are really useful experience to have, and can make the job finding really easier. I have dreamed of this city even when I was a child, so I could not believe to be working in there for 2 month. In this 2 month I had seen everything that is in Osaka, including my favourites which are the universal studios and also the aquarium which is so huge! It is also the best place in the world for food. I was scared that I would be miss the food of Spain, but I think now that I like Osaka food more than Spain hehehe. If you go to Osaka I advise you to try the okonomiyaki and the takoyaki, you can see it everywheree! If you dream to see Osaka and also experience, I advise you turn to Meiji Internships. I am certain they will help you and you will have the best time :]

I think Meiji did a great job both before and throughout my stay in Japan. Thank you for always replying to my enquiries in a timely manner. Because of that I really easily solved many of my problems before arriving in Japan. Additionally, thank you for organising the events and language exchanges for us in Japan. It really helps with making new friends, which can be difficult as a foreigner in Japan. It was a really interesting experience for me.
