ALT Life In Japan

Japan is a wonderful place for people new to the field of education and teaching! Typical working hours are roughly 40 hours per week. The pay could be better, but it is enough to live on. The benefits/ insurance are wonderful! Japan has a large expat community, so it's easy to find like minded friends! The country is extremely safe and welcoming. Public transportation is amazing here, the country is so accessible even if you are in a non-driving position. Be prepared to try new foods, see new sights, and have an adventure of a lifetime!
