Advice on internships/working in Japan

Any advice on internships in Japan?
My 19 year old daughter is a sophomore at UNC. She is looking for internship/ short term work opportunities for this summer in Japan. She is working on an environmental science degree but is open to absolutely anything.

If anyone has any connections, resources, or recommendations I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

Guessing you already checked but just in case, since itʻs not easy to separate the bs from the real opportunities. You canʻt believe how many people show up 5k miles from home with no solid plans...
