The person who I will be taking over for has kindly contacted me so that I can ask questions, and so I now have some new information.
I've found out that I'll be teaching at 4 elementary schools, and one junior high school- so basically a different school for every day of the week. It sounds like I might be the only JET participant in town- especially since the town is so small.
My apartment is considered big and new by Japanese standards. It has a separated bedroom, living room, kitchen/dining area, and a bathroom with a clothes washer. Apparently it's so hot in Kuroshio-cho that everyone just air dries their clothes.
I have the option of being called by my English first name, or my Japanese middle name. I decided to stick with my first name, just so that there isn't any confusion on my level of fluency in Japanese.
The town atmosphere is "pretty casual" and is "predominatly a surfer town" which sounds awesome.
I'm off to work right now (no 4:15am for me today! WOOOO!) so this is as much as I can post!
