Best job in Japan
January 20, 2021by: Richelle Trickel - United StatesProgram: Enrich Your Career, Teach in Japan!
I worked for three other companies in Japan, and this was by far the best. I had ample training, a decent commute, and good support. It was the best experience as far as getting to actually be immersed in the culture, and I would have stayed longer if other circumstances hadn't prevented it.
Thank you for the review. I wish you were with us now too. It is great to hear that we were the best company out of three you experienced. Training and support are where we are focusing on.
Teach in Japan!

Teaching in Japan was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! I actually found Interac after applying for a few other positions and realizing they wouldn't be a good fit for me personally. I'm glad I went with Interac and wouldn't trade any of my time there. I worked for the Nagoya branch and had positive experiences with the staff, enjoyed the area, and loved the schools I was placed in. I think if you come to Japan with the right mindset, are open to new experiences, and don't get caught up in what you think it will be like then you'll enjoy your time over there. A lot of people complain about the salary, but you have to remember that you'll be in more suburban/rural areas, so your salary goes a lot farther than if you were in Tokyo. And speaking of Tokyo, it's an anomaly compared to the rest of Japan. If you are truly interested in experiencing Japanese culture, learning the language, and seeing what real daily life is like, then Tokyo is not where you want to be. Don't get too caught up on where you'll be, instead look forward to all the wonderful local things you'll encounter!
Thank you for the review. It is great to hear that you had a great experience at Nagoya. Also, thank you for mentioning about the salary situation. Of course we have positions in Tokyo as well, but it is an expensive to live even for Japanese people. You can have a wonderful time in rural areas as well as you say.
