JET Program:
The JET Program is the most successful exchange program in Japan, allowing for foreign university graduates to live and work in cities, towns, and villages throughout Japan. Most participants serve as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) and teach English in schools; some serve as Coordinators for International Relations (CIRs) which help local municipalities to plan and organize international programs and often serve as interpreters/translators. Since its start in 1987, more than 77 thousand people have participated worldwide with about half of that number consisting of American participants. Almost 800 participants have come from Florida.

Yamaguchi:
Yamaguchi Prefecture is located at the westernmost tip of Honshu, the main island of Japan.
Surrounded by the sea on three sides, its central area is mountainous. 70% of the prefecture is covered by forests, and this lush greenery is one of its most attractive features.
Blessed with a privileged natural environment and a rich historical legacy, the cities of Yamaguchi Prefecture all have a very distinct personality that brings people from around the globe.
For example, did you know that the city of Yamaguchi has been selected by the New York Times as the third best city in the world to visit in 2024?
