JETs get together, they start talking about how much they love and miss Japan, and sooner or later someone says “Wouldn’t it be great to have a place in Japan?” It feels so far-fetched and impossible.

This webinar is about the distance between that dream and your very own genkan, delivered to you on a silver platter from an expert in our very own JET community.
