Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a hotel or tour guide? And how different is it in Japan? With Meiji Internships, let’s explore the thrill and fun of this hidden gem internship opportunity in the Far East!

In Japan, Customer is God!

You may be wondering, isn’t this an exaggeration? Well…. yes and no! This proverb is followed by those in Japanese customer service, creating a high-class and otherworldly experience for the customer.

There are too many reasons why Japan overtakes the competition in hospitality. In short, the number one key takeaway from their mind-blowing customer service is the ancient art of Omotenashi.

The Tourism Industry is BOOMING Again!

Covid-19 brought a pause to Japan and the rest of the world, yet this already is a part of the past. Numbers don’t lie and show that the Japanese tourism industry is recovering quicker than many other parts of the world.

In short, the hospitality and tourism industry is booming. The number of visitors Japan receives is growing exponentially!

It Won’t be Easy, but you got This!

Upon arriving in Japan, you’ll probably only know a few words like Konnichiwa (こんにちは) and Arigatou (ありがとう). You’ll essentially be a newborn again, but by overcoming the challenges of interning abroad you’ll develop an invaluable skill set.

Some of the skills you’ll acquire are time management, adaptability, and leadership. These skills will give you a competitive edge in the global market.

Sounds overwhelming? Well, you won’t be alone, besides having peers to grow alongside you, you’ll have the full support of professionals, mentors, and the Meiji Internship team. You can think of Meiji Internships as your new parents!
