Accommodation during the TEFL/TESOL Course
Your accommodation for your TEFL/TESOL course is all pre-booked and sorted for you before you arrive in Japan.
Accommodation is double occupancy, where you’ll be sharing a room with one of your fellow TEFL/TESOL students from the same gender.
We will provide an airport pickup/transfer at Nagoya International Airport as long as the participant arrives before 6pm on the Sunday before the program start date. If participants arrive before Sunday, pick up is not included.
We will have a staff member meet the participants there and travel with them by train into the accommodation in central Nagoya.

Accommodation after the TEFL/TESOL Course
Our in-country team will assist you in finding suitable accommodation when you head to your school placement. Some schools also have apartments for their teachers to live in.
You can typically expect to stay in a single occupancy studio apartment which can vary from $350 to $550 USD per month depending on where you’re placed in japan. Teachers are also usually asked to pay a 1-2 month rental deposit, similar to most countries in the West.
It is also sometimes possible to save on your rental expense by sharing an apartment with another teacher.
Water and electricity is typically not included in the rent. Internet is sometimes included but this can’t be guaranteed.
Accommodation for English teachers in Japan generally consists of a loft-styled double bed, TV, bathroom with shower, kitchen, desk, and some living space.

Will I be living with someone?
Living together with another teacher or a friend you make in Japan is possible. Otherwise you will typically be staying on your own, usually in a studio apartment. In the rare case that you’ll be sharing accommodation with a fellow teacher at your school, you’ll have your own private room in a shared apartment.
