Why You Should Study Abroad in Japan: Have you considered studying in Japan or you are still wondering how fun Japan would be as a choice of study abroad program, then you certainly don’t have to worry much,

because there are reasons to give japan all your vote and get yourself enrolled in an institution of your choice and your so desired program? This article brings to you 10 convincing reasons why you should study abroad in Japan.

1. The Quality of Education in Japan is High

Whether you simply want to study the language or want to enroll in a higher education institution, you can be sure of one thing: the quality of teaching will be high. This is just the rule in Japan: services are top-notch, and that includes Education.

Evidence of that is showed by the high number of Nobel Prizes awarded to Japanese people (the highest in Asia, and second in the World since 2000) and the statistics provided by the OECD (for example Japan constantly has 10 or more universities among the top-200 in the world, Japan is always among the world leaders in literacy).

2. Economic Growth

Japan is the second-largest developed economy in the world, the 3rd largest automobile manufacturing country, and the largest electronics goods industry – so studying here will give you opportunities you would never have thought are there! Japanese are known for their love of precision and creativity. Whether it is designing electronic goods or high-quality fashion, you will be learning from the best!

Studying Japanese can show other future employers that you have determination, patience, a multicultural perspective, and like challenging yourself.

3. Explore Japan’s Amazing Culture

Japan has thousands of years of history that have been shaping their culture until today; study in Japan and get to experience a whole new fascinating way of life! Combining traditions and modern technology is one of the uniqueness of Japan, especially seen in Japanese businesses too.

Dive into the diverse cuisine from sushi to ramen, from soba to tempura – a whole variety of unfamiliar delicious foods to try.

A good thing is that Japanese food is known to be very healthy and tasty food, whether it’s from the 5-star restaurant or from a table in an alleyway. Enjoy the Japanese taste, just steer away from blowfish unless you like to live on the edge!

While are studying in Japan, be sure to take part in Japanese martial arts, mostly offered at universities. Whether you want to learn Judo, Kendo, Kyudo, or Karate there is a big variety to choose from at the world’s best universities. Also, other clubs are offered to sink into the Japanese culture like Japanese calligraphy, taiko drumming, and shamisen (Japanese musical instrument).

4. High Standard of Life

Japan is one of the safest and most peaceful places to visit in the world! In addition, they have one of the world’s best healthcare systems with a very high life expectancy. The streets are clean and easy transport systems help travel around the country conveniently.

The public transport is more punctual than in any other country! Explore Japan on your days off and visit the temples and shrines and experience the four seasons with breathtaking nature.

There is always something different to see and do: like cherry blossoms in spring, festivals and fireworks in summer, hiking, and trekking with beautiful autumn scenery and a snow festival, skiing in winter!

5. Enjoy Some of the World’s Finest Cuisine

If you love food, Japan may introduce you to an entirely new way of enjoying fine cuisine. While most of us in the West are fairly well acquainted with sushi, ramen, and teriyaki, you may not be as familiar with traditional high-end kaiseki dining, or the homey pleasures of an Oden stew.

You might also be surprised to learn that there is a highly inventive international culinary movement in Japan. Many of the finest restaurants in Tokyo offer a fresh twist on traditional French, Italian and Mexican cuisines!

6. Become Fluent in a Difficult, Yet Highly Valuable Language

Achieving fluency in Japanese will make you an incredibly valuable potential job candidate, not only in the United States but also abroad.

Being able to communicate effectively in Japanese will make you sought after by Japanese companies – many of which are incredibly interested in recruiting international applicants.

Even if you have studied the Japanese language rigorously in the classroom, you will never be entirely fluent in the language until you immerse yourself in it.

Japanese is an exceptionally difficult language that can be a challenge for Westerners to learn, but surrounding yourself with native speakers will force you to think quickly and speak with confidence.

7. A Large Choice of Institutions to Choose From

Japan has about 800 universities. And countless Vocational schools and Language Schools (to integrate higher education institutes, you may have to first study at a Language School).

As the Japanese government has pledged that it wants to double the number of international students by 2020 (to reach 300,000), institutions have more and more programs for foreigners. International students are really welcome, if not wanted.

For example, that will show in the fact that more and more programs in Japan start in September to accommodate foreigners, instead of April.

Whatever your field of Education, whatever your skills, the possibilities are almost limitless. The choice is truly yours.

8. After graduation, Many Job Opportunities Await in Japan

You will love Japan and chances are you will want to stay after your studies. That would be a good decision because the Japanese job market is extremely fluid.

And the demand for language-skilled, international-oriented people is always strong. Basically, you would appeal to so many (big) Japanese companies that you would have no issue finding a job, regardless of the industry you choose.

The job market is that good. As a matter of fact, 50% of Japanese companies are eager to find foreign graduates from Japanese schools. Last but not least, in Japan, wages are high for qualified jobs.

9. You Can Both Study and Save Money

While it’s true that Japan is an expensive place to live, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a good education at a reasonable price. While living costs may be high, tuition fees are comparatively cheap — particularly up against those in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Furthermore, a tuition fee exemption program for foreign students goes a long way in cushioning the financial blow, as do a multitude of scholarship opportunities from the government, private universities, foundations, and corporations designed to support international students of all levels and across all academic disciplines.

10. Stunning Nature and City life

The great thing about studying in Japan is that no matter where you are you can get out of the city life anytime and see the great nature this country has to offer!

From hot springs, volcanoes, mountains, and snow monkeys to blooming flowers and the beautiful coastlines. Japan has it all and is waiting for you to experience it!
