What is ISMP Japan?
International Student Mentorship Program Japan (ISMP) in Tokyo, Japan is a nonprofit Christian organization established by college graduate mentors from the United States.
We provide mentorship for Japanese college students interested in studying or experiencing American culture. Studies show that America and Japan are often on opposite sides of the cultural spectrum. We aim to bridge that gap because we believe that meaningful cross-cultural connections can transform lives. That’s why ISMP Japan also provides cultural exchange events, homestay programs, and more. We also partner with Story House to provide opportunities to practice English and learn about the Bible.

Studying abroad in America? Need a mentor (先輩)?
Cultural stress is real! Adjusting to life in America can be difficult. However, studies show a correlation between social support and stress acculturative on international students. That means that more social support could lead to lower cultural stress! At ISMP, we want to support and prepare you for life in America before you land so that you can be ready to embrace all that is to come. Meaningful cross-cultural connections can transform lives and we don’t want you to miss out!
