Welcome to the Toyama JETs Website!

This is the official website for members of the Japan Exchange and Teaching JET Programme in Toyama Prefecture. The purpose of this site is to let current, past, and future JETs know about life in Toyama today. Feel free to explore and add any information that you think will be useful to other JETs. The new placements are out, so welcome new 2010 Toyama ALTs and CIRs!

• Please use the guides and info provided here to help you make the most of your time in Japan. If you haven't already, take a look around!

• Are you a new private ALT or Interac/AEON/GEOS/Amity employee in Toyama? This website is for you too! Please have a look around, join the message boards and email us if you would like to be included on the mailing list for the TNB, our weekly newsletter full of info about events and other happenings in the prefecture.
