What is Toyama AJET?

Toyama AJET is the Toyama chapter of national AJET (The Association for Japan Exchange and Teaching).

What is Toyama AJET’s goal?

As an inclusive organization, our goal is to organize social and charitable events where-in all members (JET and non-JET) of the community (Toyama and non-Toyama) can interact with one another in a memorable and positive manner. To this end, membership is available to any and all persons within and outside of the Toyama community.

What do we do?

Well, for just a few (OK, \2000 to be specific) of your hard-earned yen, we organize all manner of events and trips. In previous years we've had a Spring Formal, Farewell Weekend for leaving JETs, Welcome Beer Gardens and Welcome Weekend for new JETs, a 70s disco, Halloween Party, Christmas Dinner, and trips to Kyoto, Mt Fuji and also Nagano for snowboarding. In addition, we also put together a monthly newsletter (*The TRAM) and a plethora of charity events for local and international organizations.

Why should I sign up?

Members of Toyama AJET get discounts at many AJET-organized events. If you go to just 2-3 of these over the year you'll not only be compensated for your membership dues, but you’ll also save yen on other events. Additionally, AJET is always looking to support other events happening in the Toyama community, such as Charity Show, and other independent social functions. In short, your AJET dues will directly support you and the community!
