How easy it is to get an internship in Japan?

Hello everybody,

I write this post because I would love to do my graduating internship in Japan, but it's a bit blurry to me how internships are perceived in the country.
First of all, I graduate from an engineering school in France, and I realize a "double diploma" in Canada in Computer Science. I'm interested in many fields such as AI, web dev, blockchain technologies..

As I said, I have to realize an internship, and I thought about realizing it in Japan because I always loved this country, and can give me a good way to see how I like living out there without having a full time job.

I get some feedbacks from people working in Japan, and most of them obviously told me that without speaking japanese, it might be really hard to find a job. But in addition to that, I've heard that internships are not really present in the company culture and it can be seen as "dissimulated work" and it might be hard to get a visa for this.

So, I would like to know if some people completed an internship and want to tell me more about it, or simply give his opinion 🙂

Thanks!
