Handbook and More!

In the Kumamoto Orientation handbook, you can find even more information related to living in Kumamoto and teaching that would have originally been presented at booths in-between breaks at Kumamoto Orientation. Most of the information in the handbook were submitted by current and previous JET participants. We highly recommend you take a look at the various information below!
