There are rice fields and beautiful green hills all around, with a beautiful park only 10 minutes away by car. The house is 2 minutes away from the classroom, and 1 minute away from a huge supermarket and drugstore (walking). The city has lots of restaurants (yaki-tori, sushi, sashimi, izakaya, chinese, yaki-niku, curry, indonesian...). Fast food includes a McDonald`s and assorted other Japanese fast food places (like Yoshinoya). 7-11 is around the corner.

Kobe, Osaka, and Kyoto are a 1hr.20min. bus ride away and the bus station is a 10 minute walk from the house/apartment. It`s very easy to go to these cities for the day or weekend, and very economical. Buses are frequent and cheap, butyou can drive if you want to spend the money on the highways. Himeji, with the best castle in Japan is only an hour away by car (or only 30 minutes if you take the highway). * ACT is family-run and the owners also run a hair salon, above which you will teach (and possibly live). You are always welcome to hang out there and chat with the customers. * Kato-shi has three or four foreign teachers in the area, teaching as ALTs in the local public schools, so you can also make friends with English-speakers if you so desire. |
