Apply for the 2026 BOSS Study Trip to Japan
In 2026, the BOSS Study Trip takes us to Japan. Our journey begins in Tokyo, where our first company visit introduces Japan’s innovation-focused mindset. Its mix of futuristic districts and traditional neighborhoods highlights how modern ambition and culture coexist.
From Tokyo, we travel to Kyoto, which brings us into Japan’s cultural core. Surrounded by temples, wooden streets, and local craftsmanship, we’ll explore how history and ritual continue to influence the way people live, work, and create in Japan today.
Our final destination is Osaka, where we experience Japan’s energetic, outgoing side. Famous for its food culture, humor, and commercial spirit, the city shows a different rhythm of life and the business style unique to Kansai.
The research theme of this study trip is Vertical Horizons. Together, we will investigate what can be learned from Japan’s high-rise neighbourhoods and explore whether this building typology could be relevant or adaptable to the Dutch context.
