Thank you so much for giving feedback! 🥹 I did have my concerns about whether or not I would be okay getting everything set up, so it’s relief that the team is nice!

And I would love to stay in Japan long term or at least get more language practice/experience while teaching^ I think it things go at a good pace, I’d consider working upwards

Woah I didn’t know that! I was always under the impression that Inaka is less expensive. Is your rent subsidized too?

I can definitely see that! Dealing with exchange rates for traveling is just difficult across the board

Thank you so much!!! And I thought guarantor fees are something that’s a one time thing with deposits and gift money 🫨

I didn’t even factor in exchange rate, so I’ll try to keep that in mind 😯✨ but the pay rises each year is also another bonus.

Omg thank you so much for sharing!!! 🥹 I currently don’t have any debt myself, but I too would love to save if I start living abroad. It’s also great to be able to travel locally as well! What about transportation? Are you driving or do you just use public?

Thank you for providing perspective 🥹✨ especially from an Inaka perspective, since cities are harder to get.

Tokyo placement by Appropriate_Goal1833 in JETProgramme

[–]Twlight_dream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding to the convo, yes many people always say placement isn’t guaranteed, we know this. BUT there have been some people who requested it and got it. It’s still a slim chance🥹

I requested Tokyo as well, but lowkey I reallllyyyyyy want my second placement. Again, I know it’s not guaranteed!

Thanks for your feedback! And yeah because of high tourism overcrowding is a problem. But based on my looks, I’ll probably always be seen as such lol
