Frequently Asked Questions

Getting an internship in Japan basically begins with understanding the types of placements that Japanese companies offer. Then, narrow down your options based on your goals and preferences.

Finding a paid internship is difficult, with most Japanese companies offering unpaid placements. If you do find an internship that pays, it’s typically in the form of a small monthly stipend.

Internship durations in Japan vary, usually lasting from 6 weeks to 6 months. A few international companies offer placements lasting one year. Full-time roles are common, but you can also find part-time internships.

You can compare programs on internship platforms or from placement organizations. You can also consult with your home university or check out companies and NGOs in Japan and apply directly.

A summer internship I’ll always remember!

September 16, 2025by: Rym Rajhi - TunisiaProgram: Tokyo Internships with Beyond Academy
9

I did a two-month internship in IT in Tokyo with Beyond Academy this summer. The team gave me really helpful coaching and advice before the interviews, which made securing a placement a lot smoother. What I enjoyed the most was the social side of the program — the coordinators were super friendly and always there to help. The social events were fun and a great way to meet new people and enjoy the experience outside of work.
