There are many programs that place you in various schools in Japan so you can teach English. I am currently working here in Japan through the JET Program. I have been here for the last 3 years.The program places you at a school and through the Board Of Education you are helped to find a place to live, getting your license and a car and all the other necessities of living in a foreign country. The Board of Education also pays for your flight to Japan and your flight back to the country you departed from I recommend this program because they do help those who are teaching with all of those things as opposed to coming here on your own and having to do all those things on your own. This can be a very big pain in the butt especially if you don't know the language or the culture. There is a lot of red tape that you will have to go through and it is just the Japanese way so it's something you have to get use to. There is a very large network set up for those in the JET Program to make sure their living in Japan is as comfortable as possible. The qualifications for this program is a college or university degree and a desire to learn Japanese culture as well as share your own. There are many other programs such as NOVA, Teach Away, and AEON but I can only speak for the JET Program. Do research and you will find many available means to come and teach in Japan If you have any questions feel free to as me!

JET is the best deal. GEOS and AEON are much the same (they started out as the same company). NOVA is no more (they collapsed after "financial irregularities". They were s**t anyway.) ECC is probably better than GEOS or AEON language schools, judging by people I know who've worked for all three. Berlitz can be good if you get a contract with them (rather than on a per lesson rate). You can make more money with them than with the others, and the students tend to be better (fewer hobbyists, more people who need it for work). This site gives a comparison. Be aware that it's based on official information from the companies. GEOS's bonuses are not what the site says - they're frequently much, much less. http://www.all-about-teaching-english-in-japan.com/Geos.html Having housing provided for you sounds nice - but it does mean your accommodation is tied to your job.

No. We do not have it. I don't think all-boys or all-girls schools are able to have proms.

I'm not sure about schools IN Japan, but I know many non-USA airlines send their pilot trainees to the US for their training, especially in the Southwest. I know JAL does this, and the airport I trained at had a bunch of Korean Air Lines trainees based there. We have better weather, less congested airpspace and the cost of operations is much, much less. I've even heard, anecdotally, that some Europeans have found that even as individuals, rather than learn at home, it's cheaper to come to the US, rent an apartment near an airport and live there for several months while they learn to fly, and then go home with a shiny new pilot's certificate.

I know that licenses from outside japan are not allowed if you are flying an aircraft licensed in japan. You must convert your license, and the US license is probably the easiest, since we have the highest set of standards. It costs about $40,000 to get a comercial license in the US, which is about 4,700,000 yen. I hope that helped.

How much money should I raise to spend in Japan.

How much money should I raise to spend in Japan.?
I am going on a school vacation to Japan for two weeks next summer. I need to raise over $3,000 just to go. How much extra money should I try to raise so I can spend money there as well. The $3000 does include everything (food, transportation, etc.) I am just wondering about spending money to buy souvenirs.

Well, If the $3,000 covers Hotels, and air fare, and food If ur going.... 1-2 weeks...$100-200(without food) 3-4 weeks...$300-500(without food) Be sure to think about trains and such as well.
2 :
It depends on what your $3000 covers. Does it already cover food? Does it cover accommodation? Anyway, if you don't need accommodation, you need $100 for each day. So you need to have $1400 for 2 weeks.
