JOIN OUR FABULOUS TRIP TO JAPAN!
When you hear the word 'Japan', what do you think of? Does your mind fill with images of ancient temples or futuristic cities? Do you see visions of mist-shrouded hills or lightning-fast bullet trains? Do you think of suit-clad businessmen or kimono-clad geisha? Whatever image you have of Japan, it's probably accurate, because it's all there.
Every spring break, JBA leads a large number of students on a cross-country tour of Japan. Filled with behind-the-scenes glimpses into the nation's leading institutions, the ambitious schedule includes countless once-in-a-lifetime experiences for both newcomers and seasoned visitors.
Past activities have included:
- Sumo tournaments
- Visits to world-leading Japanese companies in various industries (Toyota Motor Corporation, Sony Corporation, Nomura Securities, etc.)
- Tours at famed temples in Kyoto
- Volcanic hot spring baths
- Kimono makeovers and traditional tea ceremony
- Early morning visit to Tsukiji fish market
- Karaoke on the Sumida river dinner cruise
- High-tech showcase tours at Sony and Panasonic
- Networking with Stern alumni and other executives in Japan
plus whirlwind day/night tours of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. The trip is a must for any Stern student interested in exploring Japan's influence on global business and culture.
