COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
J-List was founded in 1996 and has been an extremely successful venture, serving over 500,000 customers and bringing unique products to people outside of Japan. We strive to promote understanding of Japan through its popular culture, and among other things, we publish regular emails about what it's like to live in Japan. Our company is based in Isesaki, Gunma Prefecture, a small city of 200,000 located on the edge of the Kanto Plain near Tokyo (about 2 hours away by slow train, 45 minutes by Shinkansen). With one of the lowest costs-of-living ratings in Japan, it’s a nice city with fast access to mountains, onsen hot springs and other cultural points of interest, plus a Costco just up the freeway. We think you'll enjoy it here.
