We are currently considering if it is possible to travel to Japan during IAP
COVID policy update for Japan:
Japan is currently considered a Level 3 (High Level of COVID-19 in Japan) country by the US State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People who are traveling to Japan are required to quarantine for 10-days if you are vaccinated. However, Japan is not allowing any non-Japanese citizens and non-residents to enter Japan.
We are monitoring the situation to see if we can travel to Japan in January 2022. Although we cannot travel at this time, we are proceeding with the application process for the IDJ2022 and the MIT-Japan Program @MISTI's limited scholarship opportunity for IDJ2022.
Please note the MISTI IDJ funding / scholarship will give preference to those who are studying Japanese language or cultural courses and/or have plans to include Japan in their career trajectory.
