It’s inevitable. JETs get together, they start talking about how much they love and miss Japan, and sooner or later someone says “Wouldn’t it be great to have a place in Japan?” We all get dreamy-eyed and nod. But, what if it wasn’t such a impossibility after all? Join us to explore the dream every JET has- owning a home in Japan! Oct 16 (US) & Oct 17 (JP). See you and your dreams there!

Coming home from JET is harder than departing on JET. Join fellow JETs on September 14, 2026 for an honest, interactive session about what you're carrying back, what you left behind and who you are on this side of the JET experience. You are not alone.

In this Senpai Spotlight, Jonathan Lucas (Shizuoka, 2016-2019), MICE Promotions Specialist & IGLTA 2024 Coordinator, Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau , explains how he got his start in the tourism industry.
