17. I recommend everyone to join only the “main” Facebook/Discord/Line groups for your placement. They have current/former JETs who know their stuff. They know the most about your placement because they’re *actually* there. The info they say is bound to be the most accurate and correct. Sometimes it might contradict what you hear in orientations or from other incoming JETs (most JETs have subsidies and you’re bound to have cheap rent! when the people at your placement might have none) or (ex you can’t ever be alone teaching in the classroom it’s illegal! HAHAHAHAH)

    I found most of the consulate/freshly made group chats die 1 week after arrival.
    Most of them can turn into circle-jerks or can go too far in one direction (bias) before someone can say “wait, this isn’t right?”. Some turned into competitions into what omiyage they’re bringing and how much they’re spending. Also if you’re placement is not great or your housing is old, it will feel like absolute shit when you’re sitting on your dusty tatami mat while the other JETs post their brand new apartments and how their teachers are taking them out to here and there and they don’t have to go into school for another month.

    No problem joining them, just be careful and focus on what the current JETs say the most.

18. If you are placed in Hiroshima (or Chuugoku region in general) feel free to DM me to join the discord server! This way you can be connected to other JETs in the area, plus have access to various helpful resources for incoming JETs. 🙂

19. Are there any Discord or groups for the Gifu prefecture? Excited to get in touch with people!

20. Anyone heading to Okinawa can join our Facebook and Line Groups.

    OkiJETs Facebook Group:
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/162019357162591/?ref=share

    OkiJETs Main Announcement Group:
    https://line.me/R/ti/g/Fvq-2APniR

    General Chat / Emoji group: https://line.me/R/ti/g/u5pSDcjIXh

    The main announcement group is basically what it sounds like, it’s for announcements from OkiAJET. It’s only for current or incoming JETs. Unfortunately that doesn’t include incoming spouses but they’re welcome to join the the general chat / emoji chat since we post announcements in there as well. The general is for anything like asking questions or introducing yourself, etc. It can get kind of spammy so I recommend putting it on mute.

    The Facebook group has a mix of current and alumni OkiJETs.

21. Here’s a LINE group for any and all Fukuoka JETs. https://line.me/ti/g/EMYyQEQrSh

    My goal is to include veteran JETs as well as incoming JETs to Fukuoka Prefecture

22. Any Ibaraki groups/Discord/LINE chats out there? I’ve done some basic searching around and haven’t found much. I’ll hopefully be arriving in mid-August 🙂

23. Howdy, folks! Got my placement for block 5 & it looks like I’ll be teaching in Fukui. Is there any sort of discord, chat group, or contact beyond the Facebook page? Any & all help is appreciated!

24. For incoming Kagawa JETs, DM me for a Discord link!

25. Any Yamaguchi groups? Or Chugoku region ones? It’s all very quiet so far

26. Hey guys! Osaka-fu, Shijonawate-shi.

28. Anyone in Muroto kochi?

29. Any Hamamatsu or Shizuoka groups?

30. Incoming australian Fukushima prefecture JET! Iwaki specifically. Would love to connect with other JETs in the area if anyone has any links to specific discords/ FB groups 🙂

31. If anyone is heading to Wakayama, feel free to give me a PM so we can send you a Line group invite 😀
