Welcome to the Toyama JETs Website!

This is the official website for members of the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme in Toyama Prefecture. The purpose of this site is to let current, past, and future JETs know about life in Toyama today. Feel free to explore and add any information that you think will be useful to other JETs. The new placements are out, so welcome new 2008 Toyama ALTs and CIRs!

• Please use the guides and info provided here to help you make the most of your time in Japan. If you haven't already, take a look around and make sure you sign up for the message boards!

• Are you a new private ALT or Interac/AEON/GEOS employee in Toyama? This website is for you too! Please have a look around, join the message boards and email us if you would like to be included on the mailing list for the TNB, our weekly newsletter full of info about events and other happenings in the prefecture.

Getting Started

• If want to know what's happening in Toyama (and elsewhere in Japan), have a look at our events page. It has a list of upcoming events which can be updated and added to by anyone in the prefecture.

• If you're feeling talkative (or just bored at work), try the message boards (you have to register and have your account approved to post and access all of the boards...sorry!).

• Looking for information about life in Toyama, taxes, passports, teaching, or travel? Try our guides and info section or just search the site:

We always want to hear what you think about the website, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us.
