Living in Japan

Japan is a country of innumerable discoveries. A rich history creates wonderful dichotomies between the ultra new and very old. See ancient temples and shrines juxtaposed against bright neon lights. The people are even more fascinating. While most have come to embrace many of Western culture’s practices and values, they also retain a deep sense of tradition. Teaching in Japan means direct access to this unique culture and its mysteries.
