【About Okayama Prefecture】
Located in the Chugoku Region, Okayama has been known as the "Land of Sunshine", because it has more sunny days and fewer rainy days than most other prefectures in Japan, making it a great place to visit or to live. Okayama is often regarded by locals as the best part of the region, and they are very proud of their produce, such as the iconic Shine Muscat.
The area is accessible by the San-yo Shinkansen and various other train lines, though driving is the best way to get around the Okayama area and experience all that it has to offer. Okayama boasts treasures such as the Korakuen Garden, which is ranked as one of the three best landscape gardens in all of Japan. It is also host to the annual Momotaro Festival in August, as the famous legend purportedly took place around this area. Okayama is also famous for traditional Japanese dishes, Washoku. From fresh fish to fresh vegetables, there are many choices for you to explore.
【Apply Today!】
We are accepting applications now! We screen every application ourselves and conduct Skype interviews regularly throughout the business week and weekends. We are also holding weekend orientation sessions for those living and/or studying in Japan; please let us know if you are interested in joining when you apply.
