Toyama Handbook - Online Edition!
It's summer 2010 and the Toyama Handbook is now entering its sixth year online. Please bear with me as I navigate the madness and update all the information we gathered to make this year's handbook all the more useful for you.
If you find a mistake, or have something you think should be included, please email me at the usual address to let me know.
I would like to give a huge THANK YOU to the orientation volunteers for helping with this year's update.
