Here are seven quick things I need to mention and if you have any questions, please ask.

1. Make sure you buy some travel insurance because you never know what can happen.

2. Please bring formal and informal clothes for various events you will be invited to.

3. Please bring some pictures or things from where you are from for a show & tell for the students at the school. This is just for people doing the Education internship.

4. You don't have to do this but we highly recommend it. You will make some very good friends while you are here so it might be a good idea to bring some small presents for your favorite teachers, friends, etc.

5. Print off your contract to show at the airport so you don’t have any problems entering the country!!!

6. Please bring some Japanese yen as it might be too late to exchange money when you arrive.

7. We do not start paying for your housing until your program starts so you will need to pay for any additional housing that is required – for example, arriving a few days earlier or leaving a few days later. Of course, we can help you find a very inexpensive place to stay so please tell us if you would like our help setting up your pre or post-program housing.
