Universities with Undergrad Business degrees in English? Help a HS student out ;")
I've really been considering Japan for university, but have been a little unsure about which unis are b… Hey! I'm currently in high school and doing the IB program, and am on track to a perfect score.
I've really been considering Japan for university, but have been a little unsure about which unis are best for Business! (I'm still open to other majors like Japanese studies, but as of now I think I prefer Business)
I'm very interested in Japan culturally and am learning the language, but I'm not fluent so would be looking for courses in English.
I've researched some options, but I know that there are definitely more out there!
Please feel free to add any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!!
NUCB (BBA)- They seem to have a very good reputation within Japan for Business, ranked at #1, but my only doubt arises from its location in Nagoya. I know that it is quite close (~2.5hrs) via train to Tokyo and Osaka, but I definitely tend to prefer living in bigger cities. If anyone has been to NUCB, please let me know your thoughts!
Waseda - (School of International Liberal Studies) Their website is a little unclear ;-; The actual degrees and options for this course aren't specified, so I haven't been able to decide if its something that I'm fully interested in yet. They do offer a Japanese course, however it seems to be solely Japanese with no additional subjects. Has a year abroad option, but quite limited partners.
Keio - (GIGA) This course seems to have Business Administration within it, combined with some other subjects. The layouts on their site aren't very clear though, so the classes & curriculum are pretty ambiguous. I don't really understand what I would be learning... ;-; They also have foreign language classes as part of the degree, so I could do Japanese. Their year abroad partners are also really good, should I choose to do that.
Temple University Japan (International Business + Japanese) - I really like how they offer business alongside Japanese, but I have heard some pretty (really) bad reviews in regards to staff and teaching there... The Tokyo location is a plus, but I do want a useful education.
If you have any opinions that you think would be helpful, please don't hesitate to reply!
I haven't looked into many other cities like Osaka / Kyoto yet, so if you have any recs let me know :)
I'm in the research stage right now, so I'm considering quite a few options.

Start your Tokyo journey at the Tokyo Tower (4-2-8 Shibakoen, Minato), which offers panoramic views from its 150-meter observation deck for 1,200 yen. For a more modern perspective, head to the Shibuya Sky observation deck (2-24-12 Shibuya, Shibuya) for 2,000 yen, open until 10 PM. Both spots are less crowded on weekday mornings.
⛩️ Cultural Temples and Shrines
Visit Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa (2-18-9 Kaminarimon, Taito), Tokyo's oldest temple, open daily from 6 AM to 5 PM. For a quieter experience, explore the Meiji Jingu Shrine (1-1 Yoyogikamizonocho, Shibuya), set in a large forested area and free to enter. Arrive early to avoid crowds, especially on weekends.
🍜 Must-Try Food Experiences
Sample authentic ramen at Ichiran Shibuya (1-22-7 Jinnan, Shibuya), where individual booths let you focus on the tonkotsu broth, starting at 1,290 yen. For a unique twist, try conveyor-belt sushi at Uobei Shibuya (1-19-3 Jinnan, Shibuya), with plates from 100 yen. Reservations are not needed, but expect short queues.
🏯 Hidden Neighborhoods
Explore Yanaka, a district that survived WWII bombings, with narrow lanes and traditional shops like Yanaka Ginza shopping street (3-11-1 Yanaka, Taito). For a bohemian vibe, wander Shimokitazawa (Kitazawa, Setagaya), known for vintage stores and indie cafes. Both areas are best explored on foot in the afternoon.
🚇 Getting Around
Use the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway networks, with a 24-hour pass costing 800 yen for unlimited rides on most lines. The Suica or Pasmo IC cards are rechargeable and work on trains, buses, and even vending machines. Avoid rush hour (7:30-9 AM and 5-7 PM) to travel comfortably.
🌃 Best Evening Spots
Watch the sunset from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (2-8-1 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku), where the free observation deck is open until 10 PM. For nightlife, head to Golden Gai in Shinjuku (1-1-6 Kabukicho, Shinjuku), a maze of tiny bars with a cover charge of around 500 yen. Reservations are recommended for popular bars.
🌸 Seasonal Highlights
Cherry blossom season in late March to early April draws crowds to Ueno Park (5-20 Uenokoen, Taito), with over 1,000 cherry trees. For autumn foliage, visit Rikugien Garden (6-16-3 Honkomagome, Bunkyo) in November, lit up at night for 1,000 yen. Check the Japan Meteorological Corporation's forecast for peak dates.
🎁 Unique Souvenirs
Buy traditional crafts at Kappabashi Kitchen Town (3-18-2 Nishiasakusa, Taito), famous for realistic plastic food samples and kitchenware. For quirky gifts, explore Don Quijote stores, like the one in Shibuya (1-16-5 Udagawacho, Shibuya), open 24 hours and offering everything from electronics to snacks. Prices are reasonable, and tax-free shopping is available for tourists.
honestly this is a solid list, you've hit the major spots. one thing i'd add is that the Tsukiji Outer Market is worth a morning even if the inner market moved to Toyosu. the stalls there for tamagoyaki and fresh uni on skewers are unbeatable, and it gets packed by 9am so go early.
for a cheap meal that slaps, try CoCo Ichibanya for curry rice. there's one near basically every station and you can customize the spice level and toppings. it's not fancy but it's a real Tokyo staple that tourists often overlook.
also if you're into temples, the walk from Senso-ji down Nakamise-dori is fun but the side streets in Asakusa have smaller shrines and old-school snack shops that are way less crowded. i stumbled on a tiny place selling matcha soft serve for 350 yen last time and it was better than the touristy ones.
