Staying with friends is nothing new, but with AJET Tatami Timeshare (TTS) it gets a lot easier. Established in 1998, the TTS has evolved into a directory of JETs who allow fellow TTS members to stay at their homes for free while travelling all over Japan. That's right, a directory of potentially thousands of instant friends from Okinawa to Hokkaido!

Tatami Timeshare is now online. Tatami Timeshare is an optional service and costs 1000 yen for the entirety of your JET contract. To sign up please visit http://www.ajet.net/profile/register.php and enter your details. If you have already signed up, please enter your preferences at the same site. Accommodation can be expensive so don't miss this fantastic opportunity to reduce your travel costs and meet interesting people from all over Japan and the world!

When JETs choose to join TTS for 1000 yen, they select several options to accommodate their preferences. These choices help both the host and the guest to have a successful experience.
