- Welcome to Fukushima Prefecture, and welcome to the JET Program!
On the JET program, you can get some pretty sweet deals, such as a subsidized apartment!
I promise, the youtube title isn`t clickbait, my apartment really is only $58 a month!
What do I get for $58 in the countryside? See for yourself.

You would be a perfect game show host.
Hehe maybe I’ll look into route 😁
I find it funny how I watched your video on interviews and now I'm also placed in Fukushima-Ken with JET
Oh wow congrats! Where in Fukushima have you been placed?
Wishing you the best! I hope i get selected as well for 2023 next year!
I hope so too!!
As usual, band love doesn't seem to disappear :)
4:16 using a phone, you will need extra light inside, a simple one will give way better quality if you want it.
Wow that's crazily cheap! I've just moved to a town near Kyoto (much delayed UK JET participant - we finally got here last week), my rent is 10x that ahha 😅 It's very much a "every situation is different" kinda thing - seems that JETs in more rural areas are more likely to get a subsidised apartment, whereas those of us in larger towns or cities (where rent is more expensive anyways ahha) have to pay the full price! Your place is really big and we'll kitted out too, looks great 😍 My town is really lovely though and the rent is still half what I paid before in the UK, so I can't complain too much!
Congrats on being placed near Kyoto. The Kansai region is a fun part of the country to be placed in! I studied abroad in Hirakata City, which is just south of Kyoto.
You`re right, every situation is different! There`s a private school JET in the same town as me who doesn`t get subsidized rent. So everyone will have a different experience on this program.
@@dennissullivandrum5943 thanks! Yep, so happy with my placement location 🥰
Did you bring those drums from your home country? If so, how was your experience moving something so large?
I bought them all at a second hand store in Japan. Would have been super expensive and a huge pain if I brought them from overseas.
What kind of Japanese level do you have? How did you learn/are learning?
Japanese Level wise: Conversational and am working on full fluency.
Learning wise: First I took college courses, then I did a self-study course called Kumon, now I`m learning by making flashcards from native material (NHK news, Japanese youtubers, real life conversations, etc.). Now I`m learning/using "real japanese" thanks to the native material.
Important Note! It`s easy to plateau with Japanese, even if you live in the country. So keep raising the bar for yourself!
How did you switch from Interac to JET while in Japan?
I applied through the Jet program USA branch as a US citizen. You can apply to JET even if you`re already living in Japan (though some countries restrict you if you`ve already been in the country for a certain number of years).
The only pain about applying from Japan is that you would still have to go back to your home country for the in person interview. I got to do my interview online though thanks to the pandemic. So it was pretty easy for me to switch to JET.
Considering applying to Jet from Japan if I get into Interac but not Jet. How was the transition?
Did you have to send documents to the Japanese embassy back home, what about references etc?
Yep I had to do the same documentation and application as people who are applying from their home country. I had to mail some things from Japan to my home embassy, but the embassy was understanding with any delays or issues.
Other than that, the transition was very smooth since the JET program took care of most of the visa/filing behind the scenes.
@@dennissullivandrum5943 sounds great! Thanks for the quick reply, loved your recent video! 👍🏻
@@bobfranklin2572Aaaaaay thanks for watching my recent video! Always happy to help with any other questions. :D
1:10 did you film this part with a microwave? Anyway, thanks for making content, keep it up.
What does that even mean? 😂😂
Glad you’re enjoying the content in the meantime 😁
@@dennissullivandrum5943 means it's poor quality, lol.
@@dennissullivandrum5943 Yes, and I look forward to the next video
Hi. Is it easy to be a permanent resident as an English teacher?
Thanks!
Yes it is! I`ve seen many people here make a life long career out of teaching English. If teaching English is your passion, then you can be set for life here!
@@dennissullivandrum5943 wow 😲😲😲 i became more inspired and persevering because of u 😁😁😁
And here I am smack in the middle of Tokyo paying way more money to be fair it is still much cheaper then my old apartment in New York like thousands of dollars cheaper idk 58 dollars sounds like a steal also I’m not in the jet program Mabye that has to do with how expensive my rent is😅
Unfortunately from what I`ve heard, most JETs in Tokyo don`t get subsidized rent either. So living in Tokyo is expensive no matter what. :(
wow $58...what a deal lol
Agreed!!
OHHH, I see, it's a lighting issue. Literally buy a desk lamp and point it at your face, drop a white t shirt over it to soften the light if needed, and you'll get clearer video.
