Welcome to block 1, the largest AJET block in Japan. If you love the outdoors then this is the block for you! We have fishing, hiking, boating and camping in Spring and Summer followed by skiing, boarding and skating in Winter. Iwate with Morioka Castle, Akita it’s sake breweries, Hokkaido it’s Snow festival in February, and finally Aomori, especially famous for its apple orchards. The prefectures within Block 1 have many traditional industries, such as agriculture, fishing, forestry and an abundance of hot springs. |

Hi guys, welcome to Japan! It’s a great time of year, to enjoy the great outdoors with summer festivals, fireworks and drinking under cherry blossoms. Block 2 is Niigata, Yamagata, Fukushima and Miyagi. Block 2 is brilliant because we get enough snow to take part in winter sports and a hot summer that allows for lazy day trips and mountain walks. The spring and autumn are warm, yet cool. Meaning that you can enjoy outdoor sports and walking trails. Even into late October, evenings are still warm, so staying out at night for BBQ parties under the stars is a must. |

Welcome! You’ve had the good fortune to be placed in Block 4, so you can look forward to rural and urban experiences. Most placements are within easy reach of Tokyo, Yokohama, etc., but also just a short hop away from some of the best natural scenery in Japan like Mt. Fuji, Onjuku beaches in Chiba, Kawazu sakura in Shizuoka, and more! I highly recommend checking out every prefecture’s AJET activities to find opportunities to venture beyond your area and meet amazing JETs from all over the Kanto region. |

You’re lucky to call the beautiful Kansai region your home! You’ll have access to city life in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe, & still be able to hike the mountains of Shiga or swim the Sea of Japan in Hyogo. You’ll have access to bustling areas like Shinsaibashi in Osaka, and still be just a hop away from traditional Kyoto. Make sure you go to a Hanshin Tigers game, see the changing leaves of fall in Kyoto, & play in the annual Tajima Ultimate Frisbee Tournament in Hyogo! Give me a call if you’re in the neighborhood or contact me anytime! |

Welcome to your new home! I’m a 2nd year, high school ALT, in Shimane prefecture, but I’m originally from eastern Canada. Our Block is made up of 5 prefectures in the Chugoku region of western Honshu, stretching from the Sea of Japan, in the north, to the Inland Sea in the south. Japanese history & culture is deeply rooted in the beautiful countryside of rolling mountains and young cities across our block. Please enjoy Summer festivals (and fireworks!), ancient shrines, temples & castles, and explore the mountains and beaches! You can reach me at here. |

Hi and welcome to Japan! I’m currently a fourth-year ALT in Fukuoka Prefecture. Block 10 is home to both JETs bustling in cities and nestled into the countryside but they’re all up to various adventures. Whether it’s Nagasaki’s scenic beaches, trendy restaurants and clubs around Fukuoka City, Oita’s famous onsen, or the Karatsu Kunchi Festival in Saga, Northern Kyushu has something for everyone! Feel free to give me a shout with any suggestions you have for this year. |
