Japan Society of Boston Meets Justin Randall (Hokkaido, 2019-2024)
In partnership with Japan Society of Boston, USJETAA is proud to share the JSB Meets JET Alumni interview series which explores the JET experience across Japan.
In July of 2025, Japan Society of Boston got to know Justin Randall (Hokkaido, 2019-2024).
How has your connection in relation to Japan changed since living in Japan?
I’ve moved on from Kushiro, at least for the moment. Now I am taking on a new challenge in Kitami City, where I work as a member of the Regional Revitalization Corps to promote the city and its joyful life to the world. As a freelance journalist, I’m always stopping for slow conversations and getting to know the stories of the infinitely interesting people around me. As a guide, I am learning how to collaborate with others to bring fresh faces on adventures in Hokkaido they soon won’t forget.
