Designed for Bachelor-holders, our Teach in Japan trip combines both passions of teaching and travel into one. You’ll gain an internationally-recognised accreditation and be presented with the unique opportunity to have your own classroom of students as you embark on an unforgettable adventure to teach English abroad. Step into a futuristic wonderland that still contains deep veined culture and tradition. You will soak in a culture that is as fascinating as it is over-the-top and be surrounded by a stunning landscape, amazing food, and riveting history. 

We offer the complete package for those wanting to teach English overseas and, best of all, we have partnered with exclusive local teaching organisations who can offer you an optional paid teaching placement upon completion of your TESOL course. You’ll be able to earn an attractive living in Japan, or you can take your new accreditation with you to almost anywhere else in the world. Our team will help you with all the essentials you need to kickstart your journey to becoming an English teacher overseas, from visa assistance to bank account set up, cultural activities and excursions, local support and so much more.

Details

Our Teach in Japan trip is designed to get you travelling, living and teaching English overseas as smoothly as possible. We’re here to help you from the very beginning, offering step-by-step guidance as you embark on a path to work and travel as an English teacher abroad. We provide an internationally-recognised TESOL course, arrange local cultural experiences and provide you with the optional opportunity to work as a paid English teacher upon completion of your course. 

Arrive in Japan with the reassurance that you will be many steps ahead of every other traveller or teacher in search of international experience in Asia. Once you’ve completed your TESOL, you’re free to take it with you to many countries in the world and embark on exciting teaching projects abroad. Or you can choose to stay for longer in Japan and earn a local income with an optional teaching placement in various schools around the country. We’ll plan and organise all the surrounding logistics, our 24/7 emergency support team is always on standby, and our in-country partner will guide you throughout the entire journey and answer any questions that may arise.

Spend your time teaching in Japan, immersing yourself in the culture and surroundings, exploring the breathtaking landscapes and jetting off to neighbouring countries and leave the logistical stuff to us. We’re here to save you time, money, stress and even the risk of returning home early! Embrace a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel, live and teach in Japan and start making magic happen in the classroom of your dreams.

Itinerary Teaser

Week 1+

Upon completion of your online TESOL course, and should you wish to also teach in Japan, you’ll be presented with a local teaching contract before you’ve even left home. Once you’ve touched down at the closest airport to your placement/training location in Japan, a transfer will be waiting to take you straight to your accommodation. Some schools will require you to do 2 weeks of training in a central location before heading off to your placement, in which case you’ll also be provided with shared, most likely en suite accommodation with 2-3 other new teachers. After that you’ll be provided with an exact guide of the best way to utilise Japan’s famous public transport system to get to your school! Settle into your permanent Japanese accommodation, meet your new colleagues and dive into the culture and wonder of your new home. Your school is going to assist you with setting up your bank account and provide you with tax assistance. They’ll also give you assistance in finding the best possible local sim for you!  You’ll get to experience some of the cultural orientation activities planned in Nagoya with other teachers from the intake. You may already feel like you know some of the people there if you’ve been active on the private Facebook group and at teacher meetups. So this will be a great opportunity to get some face time, while exploring some incredible Japanese sights. You’ll get to experience two of the following activities including; a Japanese cooking class, walking tour of Nagoya, a visit to a historical Japanese castle and a trip to Tokugawa Art Museum. These events happen twice per year and usually coincide with the most popular contract start dates, so you can jump onto the one closest to your arrival.

Ongoing

You're well into the swing of your teaching English abroad experience, you’re beloved by your students and are well and truly in your element! During your trip you’ll have plenty of time to allow yourself to discover this truly breathtaking country. Train travel around the country is very cheap and efficient, so take advantage of this and see the whole thing. Or even pop on a flight and visit some of our other Asian bucket list items.  We’ll always keep in touch with you throughout your stay. If at any point during your trip you need advice or support, our team will be on hand to answer all your questions. Don’t forget you can jump on our social media pages too or buzz our 24/7 emergency support line for urgent matters.

Are flights & insurance included?

They will work closely with you to arrange the ideal flights and insurance tailored to your specific adventure. Rest assured, our team is here to ensure you have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish!

This the default question

it should be visible inside every trip page

Why should I book now?

After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better? Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Can I travel with a friend or partner?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

Can I bring my pet along?

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
