Just Another List: Map of The Jet Video Contest

ByDana Warren

As some of you know, CLAIR is holding a video contest for JET Program participants about the communities in which we all live. The winners haven’t been decided yet, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy all the great videos of places throughout Japan. Plus, voting continues until March 31. Click through the links in the Youtube descriptions to caste your vote!

Yellow: in an “area” (i.e. Western Japan)

Orange: all over a prefecture

Red: in a city

You’ll find a link in each place description to the video on youtube.

Strokes of Good Timing: Kagoshima City

ByBrittany Teodorski
