Make Sure You Are Prepared for Your Japan Trip! : Brief Checklist
Japan is a long way to go, and for that, you want to be sure you are well prepared! Here are little guides we summed up for you!
Well-thought-out trip planning is essential for your internship in Japan. Our team and our partners in Fukuoka are happy to help answer any questions. The sooner you begin your planning for your internship in Japan, the more you can save.
Flight
The major international airport in Tokyo is the most important airport in the country. A flight from the US may take 11 to 27 hours depending on where you are coming from, the number of stopovers and flight times.
Passport
To enter Japan you need a passport, which is valid for at least 6 months upon arrival.
Vaccinations
The CDC states that you should be sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccinations. These include tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough (pertussis), and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), and the most current flu shot. Also, vaccinations against Hepatitis A, B, and Japanese Encephalitis are recommended for long-term stay or when traveling to neighboring countries.
Insurance
You will need valid travel insurance for the period of your internship in Japan. Before settling on an international insurance plan, be sure you are well informed of insurance benefits abroad, especially if repatriation is guaranteed.
