Explore Tokyo, Japan
Japan’s bustling capital city is renowned for its nightlife, shopping, public transportation, and cleanliness. Perhaps because of its mix of ultramodern and traditional, Tokyo also earns high marks for being a wonderful place for university students.
Study Tours & Cultural Excursions
Every CIEE semester program has frequent cultural excursions and a multi-day study tour uniquely designed to complement the program’s academics and enhance students’ cultural immersion. In Tokyo, past study tours and excursions have included:
- Weekend trips to Hiroshima to visit peace memorials and the Peace Institute
- Visits to the island of Miyajima, where a Shinto Torii gate seems to float on water
Where Students Study
Sophia University
Founded by Jesuits in 1913, Sophia University is one of the leading universities in Japan. It welcomes more than 10,000 students, including international students from more than 40 countries. In addition to Japanese language courses, CIEE students will take courses through the Faculty of Liberal Arts.
Internships & Volunteering
Depending on their program of study and availability, students may be able to participate in an internship or volunteer. In Tokyo, students can volunteer by helping at local schools, collecting food for the homeless, or supporting disabled youth. In addition, students can take advantage of non-credit internship opportunities at a variety of businesses or NGOs.
