Code Chrysalis

Japan's premier English-language coding bootcamp, teaching a Silicon Valley-derived pedagogy focused on producing autonomous engineers. It has a strong Tokyo hiring network including Google and Mercari, and a 4.93 rating.

That 4.93 comes from only 27 SwitchUp reviews, which is a very small sample to draw conclusions from. It is Tokyo-only, teaches software engineering only, and has a tiny alumni base relative to the global schools here.

For anyone who wants to work in Japan, the employer relationships in the Tokyo tech scene are far deeper than anything Le Wagon Bali offers, and access to the bilingual English-Japanese job market is a genuine differentiator. Its autonomous-engineer teaching philosophy is also distinct, a deliberately harder, more self-directed experience than a standard bootcamp.
