Have any DegreeForum alumni went on to teach in Japan?

As long as they finish my evaluation and know how many credits I have left to obtain, I would assume they should be able to issue me a letter, but no standard college terms other than the capstone definitely makes it a bit different. 

Japan has a good transportation system, yes, but the shinkansen is not cheap. It's not something you would be using regularly for weekend trips to Tokyo if you are stationed in Northern Japan.

Definitely let us know! I'm sure someone will have the same questions we do later on.

Ah, yeah. Point taken. I looked at a shinkansen fare calculator, so definitely not every weekend. I looked at gas prices, too, which is like double per liter what I'm used to paying, but with something fuel-efficient like a motorcycle or Vespa it'd still work out to be cheaper than my current commutes in a car. I assume being able to bus/train everywhere is strictly a major city thing anyway?
