I want to go but I don't have any friends in Japan. Wont I be lonely?
You will make plenty of friends in Japan. Japanese people are very interested in foreigners, so they should be keen to get to know you. Still, feelings of isolation have been a problem for some participants in the past. We have found that people who are pro-active in making friends settle in much better, and enjoy their experience much more.

What if I get sick while I'm there?
All participants are required to be covered by travel health and accident insurance for the entire period of their Program.
Depending on the severity of your illness, you will have to pay the initial bill at the doctor's surgery (usually around AUD$80-100 per visit), and then make a claim to the insurance company to refund your money. In the event of costly major surgery, the insurance company will pay the hospital directly.

Is Japan a safe country?
Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. The streets are safe at night and there is practically no crime whatsoever.

Will my supervisors in Japan be able to speak English?
It 's possible that some of your bosses/Japanese teachers may speak basic English, but don’t count on it. Don't worry, nobody is going to expect Japanese fluency from you. English-speaking staff will also be contactable 24/7 if you need anything at all, and will regularly contact/visit you to ensure you are benefiting from the experience..
