Your First Month: Part Two, Arriving in Saga
After your short stay in Tokyo, you’ll be fully accustomed to the heat and humidity of the Japanese summer, so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise when you experience Saga’s climate for the first time. Shortly after touching down on the tarmac of Saga Airport, you’ll be whisked bleary eyed (after the 7:55 a.m. flight) to a prefectural welcome ceremony, where you will get to meet your supervisor for the first time. You’ll be expected to dress in business attire for this event and there won’t be much opportunity to get changed, so it is probably best to travel smart from Tokyo.

Your First Month: Part One, What to Expect in Tokyo
Note from SagaJET admin: Sorry for the belatedness of this post about the Tokyo Orientation, which is now not very useful for JETs who arrived in group A. Posting this got lost in the shuffle of the redesign. Gomen.

SagaJET 2.0
One year ago today, SagaJET was officially launched. Back then, we were just a small group of people with a crazy idea of making a website to help JETs in Saga-ken communicate with each other and helping the rest of the world learn more about our prefecture (or at least helping them figure out we actually exist). That’s pretty much what we are one year later, only now we’re a small group of people with a shiny new website. This is SagaJET, version 2.0.
