Tokyo Orientation Welcome Dinner

In years past, FuJET has operated a booth at the Tokyo Orientation AJET information fair to welcome all new lucky islanders to the ken, share information about Fukushima, and FuJET events throughout the year. After the official workshops are over, FuJET officials meet with new JETs and escort them to their first official enkai in Japan.

The Basics
What: Meet, greet, and mingle with your sempai and fellow newbies while enjoying the bright lights of Tokyo! (And that wonderful thing called jet lag)

Date: The first night of Group A and Group B orientation

Cost: Approximately 3,00 yen, depending on the venue

Sign-ups: Via email the month before Orientation. If you are a sempai you MUST sign-up by emailing  after the sign-up period begins. If you are an incoming Fukushima JET, we would prefer for you to RSVP by email. If you miss it though, we'll most likely be able to sign you up on the day of!

Changes to the Tokyo Orientation Welcome Dinner
What: Climbing Mt. Fuji with a stop at an onsen afterward to relax your weary muscles

Date: Mid- to Late July

Cost: Approximately 7,000-8,000 yen, depending on the number of people who come on the trip and the cost of highway tolls

Sign-ups: About 2 months before the actual trip date, FuJET will announce a sign-up period. If you are interested in this trip, you MUST sign-up by emailing  after the sign-up period begins.

In January 2014, CLAIR made the change that there would be no AJET information Fair at Tokyo Orientation moving forward.

Regarding the changes with AJET's presence at Tokyo Orientation, FuJET's presence at Tokyo Orientation will also be diminished. However, we will still be looking to meet with new Fukushima JETs and will have a dinner to welcome you to Japan and the Lucky Island. This page will be updated as the new changes to Tokyo Orientation (and FuJET at Tokyo Orientation) are decided with details regarding the event.
