I am a double major (Compsci, Japanese) studying at a college in America. I have 1 year of study abroad experience in Japan; I am fluent in Japanese. I am looking for a way to get an internship in Japan for summer 2026 (from May to August specifically), and I am willing to do an internship related to either major (programming, or something language related)
I know about Linkedin and Kopra, but what exactly is the strategy when it comes to these sites? Should I even bother looking for an internship as someone without a visa anyway? It seems like nothing but dead ends here.
I know I made a post here in the past about 就活, but I’ve exhausted those options (school help desk, Osaka career forum, Tokyo career forum, I am willing to elaborate on my experience with these things) and I decided on pursuing a masters degree anyway. But I am still interested in scoring an internship if possible.
Any sort of advice/success stories/fail stories are greatly appreciated. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
