Travel to Japan with Projects Abroad and immerse in the culture of this fascinating nation, developing transferable skills and a global perspective. Volunteering in Japan will boost your confidence, independence, and communication skills.
Experience life in the Land of the Rising Sun and witness first-hand the contrast of history and modernity in everyday life. You’ll join interesting workshops looking at all aspects of Japanese culture, from the storied martial art of Kendo to chopstick making, language, and calligraphy lessons.
Our volunteer opportunities in Japan focus on cultural immersion and self development, facilitating learning through immersion and discovery. You’ll find out about the history, religion, societal beliefs, and modern technology of Japan and use this experience to compare with life back home.
Don’t miss out on some of the incredible food on offer, either. Enjoy a sweet but tangy katsu curry, taste the natural flavours of a donburi rice bowl, try fresh, hand-crafted sushi, and relax with a soothing matcha green tea.

Where we are based in Japan
Tokyo
Considered the largest city on Earth with a population of 37 million, the capital city of Tokyo is a sprawling megacity in a huge bay on the Pacific coast of Japan. It is home to skyscrapers, shrines, parks, and shops as far as the eye can see, along with the busiest train station in the world, Shinjuku.
The city centre is made up of 23 ‘special wards’ with their own unique vibe like fashion, food, culture, and more. It’s no surprise that there’s so much to see and do here, given that Tokyo has more people than 150 countries!
Kyoto
The ancient capital of Japan from 794 to 1868, Kyoto is a charming, low-rise city steeped in history and culture. Located towards the south of the main island, Honshu, Kyoto has the most shrines of any city in Japan and is famous for traditional arts and historical preservation.
Wander the streets to find traditional wooden townhouses, artisan markets, and peaceful parks. Despite the history, Kyoto has an efficient transport system and modern entertainment, like arcades, karaoke, and manga cafes.
Osaka
Just south of Kyoto lies the “food and nightlife capital” of Japan, Osaka. Famous for takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu, along with the flashing lights and electric air of Dotonbori and Amerikamura, here you can unwind and enjoy flavours unlike anything you’ve tried before.
Osaka is the second-largest city in Japan, with the picturesque Osaka castle at its heart. Explore stunning streets, gaze across the city skyline, and lose yourself in the sprawling shopping complex beneath the surface.
