Tokyo JET panel Part 2: JET timeline & apartment hunting in Tokyo

In this panel series, 5 JETs talk about life abroad on the JET program in Tokyo. We will be covering the difference between public and private school JETs, the timeline of how you will arrive in Japan, how much money to bring to Tokyo, how to find an apartment, and how to get phone & internet set up in your house.

As an American JET parent, I found this video very informative and appreciate the time and thought taken to explain what being an assistant teacher in Tokyo is about. Thank you very much!

Splendid continuation of information. Great panel idea. The map and statistical details was very good to know about. Helpful insight into the apartment situation as well, in Tokyo or otherwise.

I got accepted and I have been placed at a public school in Tokyo (Tokyo-to)!!! You all are definitely life savers for making these videos and the Tokyo Wiki as well. Hopefully I'll get to meet you all when I come to orientation, or when I settle in and start teaching!

No problem man. We are happy to have you this year.

Wow! So useful! thank you so much. I wish other prefectures did this as well. [do they?] I will continue watching!

[@tokyojets6050]

I'm not sure if other prefectures do this, but many JETs on the program in different prefectures have their own blogs and FAQs videos about the experience.

So is this just for Tokyo Jets?? I’ve seen so many video where the participants said they got a place that belonged to a prior jet.

Good Morning, I have been accepted as a private school Tokyo JET at Nippon Sports Science University in Setagaya. I was just wondering if you would be able to clarify what 'university' means in Japan or if you know that there is a high school based on the university grounds. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Justine.
