Destination of the Month

Every month, IIEPassport features a new destination online and in a brochure mailed to study abroad advising centers. Information contained in these pieces is highly specific for prospective study abroad students and is extremely informative.

Featured Destination of the Month: Japan

Once sealed off from the outside world, Japan is now one of the world's most developed nations, inextricably bound to its global economy and contemporary culture. This unique history has produced some startling contrasts: 180 mph bullet trains and traditional tea ceremonies, the towering skyscrapers of Shinjuku and the peace of a Zen garden. Comprised of four main islands-Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku, Japan draws thousands of students to its shores each year.
