MUN • Tokyo
9 – 10- 11 March 2027
With over 500 students, MUN Tokyo is one of the largest and most prestigious Model United Nations conferences in Japan. Located in the heart of the Japanese capital, MUN Tokyo welcomes students from all over the world to exchange views, debate and propose solutions to some of today’s most pressing issues, from climate change to international security.
The world’s most important and competitive United Nations simulation
The students will be tasked with faithfully representing a country in an attempt to find a solution to issues of international significance: climate change, terrorism, the international economy, conflict resolution, human rights and many others.
The project, which will be conducted in English, will be a unique opportunity to develop your potential and put yourself to the test in a dynamic and stimulating environment.

MUN • YO is recognised for the excellence and uniqueness of its training course
The Security Council, the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the UNHCR and the Human Rights Council are just some of the working groups within which, together with their colleagues, they will endeavour to negotiate the best solutions to the world’s problems.
The main aim of the programme is to develop and enhance the most important soft skills currently recognised: public speaking, negotiation, teamwork, time management, leadership, and research and writing methods.
MUN YO is organising a training course of the highest standard, which is innovative and recognised as one of a kind, and which is a key element in ensuring that participants are properly prepared for the international conference.
What our students say
Mavy S.
I took part in a MUN YO during my second year of my three-year degree – an experience I’d do a thousand times over! As well as improving my English and learning how to work in a team and deal with the unexpected in a rational way, I realised what I wanted to do in the future. Last year I secured an internship at the United Nations in Geneva, and I have to say that it was partly thanks to what I learnt at MUN that I was able to make the most of my experience!

Taking part in MUN YO was one of the most enjoyable and stimulating experiences of my time at university. It enabled me to develop transferable skills, meet interesting and passionate people, and put myself to the test.

Visa information
Participation in MUN does not require a student visa, but rather a tourist visa. If you are a citizen of a European Union country, you have the right to move freely within the EU with an ID card or passport. If you are a non-EU citizen: visit this government website for information on the visa you need https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en Once you have registered for the conference, we can provide you with a document confirming your enrollment in the program. This document does not guarantee that you will receive a visa, nor does it replace it: granting a visa is the responsibility of the national authorities.
How to request the letter:
- Register for the conference/Register your group for the conference, and confirm your registration by paying the participation fee.
- Once we receive your payment, we reserve the right to request proof of your studies to confirm your eligibility to participate. The instructor or delegation leader must provide a list of students participating in the project.
- The request will be processed by our offices within 5 to 10 business days.
Venue:
MUN Tokyo 2027 will be held at the Hilton Tokyo Convention Centre: 6-6-2 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0023, Japan.
Get ready for the MUN
General information
Once country and committee assignments have been received, each delegate representing a United Nations member state must write a position paper. This is a political statement reflecting the country’s viewpoint on the topic falling within the committee’s remit. The position paper should outline the relevant international and regional resolutions, conventions and treaties that support your country’s position. It is essential to identify the key issues, explain your country’s policy and propose concrete recommendations for action.
Observer members and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are not required to submit a position paper.
For further details on how to draft an effective position paper, please refer to the MUN YO Position Paper Guidelines.
Format and guidelines
- The document must not exceed one page in length.
- Standard margins, with 10pt Arial font and justified text.
- The inclusion of the national flag or coat of arms in the header is permitted.
- The country represented, the committee and the topic must be clearly stated before the text.
- Do not include any citations or a bibliography: the position paper is a political statement and must be drafted as if it were being written by an actual diplomat; it is not an academic paper.
- The document must be sent in PDF format.
- Each delegate must submit only one position paper relating to their assignment.
- Each delegate will represent their country on the committee in their own right.
- A faculty advisor or head delegate can upload all their delegation’s position papers to the platform.
Please note that position papers must consist entirely of original writing. Based on their research, delegates must develop their own ideas and recommendations and present them in their own words. MUN YO does not tolerate plagiarism, including the reproduction of content from the background guides.
Deadline for submitting the position paper:
10 February 2027 at 23:59

Thematic Areas for Topics and Committees
All topics and committees within the MUN EUROPE circuit are developed around four main thematic areas. These areas reflect the fundamental pillars of international diplomacy and guide the definition of committees and debate agendas for each simulation. The Scientific Committee selects the most relevant topics based on international developments and the conference’s educational objectives.
Security and Crisis Management It focuses on international peace and security, conflict prevention, crisis management, defence cooperation and geopolitical stability.
Economic and Financial Cooperation Addresses issues relating to global economic governance, international trade, development policies, financial stability and economic cooperation between states.
International Law Explore the legal frameworks governing relations between states, including international treaties, accountability mechanisms, jurisdiction and the development of international law.
Human Rights and Social Equality Examines the protection of fundamental rights, social inclusion policies, humanitarian action and international efforts to reduce inequalities.

All you need to know
Participating in a MUN project means embarking on an educational experience that begins at the moment of registration and develops through several stages, from the training course to the simulation and the trip.
Registration and choice of program
Students can choose between two types of experiences.
- MUN•EUROPE: held in cities such as Rome, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, London, Vienna, and Malta. Each simulation lasts three days (see the official page of each project) and is open to middle school, high school, and university students. Sessions are always organized separately by educational level, ensuring a pathway suited to each age group. In these projects, MUN•EUROPE organizes only the simulation; travel and accommodation are free to arrange individually, although for school groups support is available through our partner tour operator.
- MUN New York – High Schools: a program dedicated to high school students, with four days of simulation and city tours organized by MUN•EUROPE. Students are always accompanied by tutors and teachers, who guide them throughout the activities and daily life.
- MUN New York – Universities: designed for university students, it includes four days of simulation and additional days dedicated to cultural and institutional visits in New York. As adults, participants are free to manage their own free time, while still having the opportunity to join activities organized by our staff.
- MUN Washington DC: reserved for university students, it consists of a five-day program, including three days of simulation in the U.S. capital, followed by a transfer to New York for further academic and cultural activities. Students are free to manage their free time, with the option to join institutional visits.
Difference between the “Weeks”
The different Weeks we offer mainly differ in two aspects: the dates of the experience and the American partner organization responsible for running the simulation. In all cases, the conferences are selected and recognized by MUN•EUROPE and its staff as among the best and most competitive simulations in New York and Washington DC.
Preparation before departure Once registration is completed, participants receive the materials necessary for preparation.
For all MUN USA programs and for those choosing the Complete package in MUN•EUROPE, an online training course is provided with six live afternoon lessons, each lasting about three hours, led by our faculty. This program covers all the skills required to successfully face the simulation: rules of procedure, international relations, negotiation, and public speaking. In addition, access to an e-learning platform with a library of more than 50 recorded video lessons will be provided.
Those who choose the Delegate or Observer packages for MUN•EUROPE will instead receive study materials via email to prepare independently.
The simulation and the experience
During MUN•EUROPE, students take part in three days of simulation, with no extra activities organized: free time is entirely managed by the participants.
- In MUN USA – Universities (New York and Washington DC), the simulation takes place over four days, with additional days for cultural or institutional visits. Being adults, students are free to organize their free time.
- In MUN USA – High Schools, the entire experience is carried out as a group under the supervision of tutors and teachers. Simulation days alternate with city tours, following a shared itinerary provided to students and parents before departure. Meals are also managed as a group: students can freely choose what to eat within designated areas, with set meeting times. The simulation itself lasts four days, with the remaining days dedicated to exploring the city.
Conclusion and certification
At the end of each experience, participants receive the official certificate of participation and a detailed report listing the total hours completed throughout the program. Both MUN•EUROPE and MUN USA certifications are recognized as valuable titles for enriching one’s educational path and curriculum.
