 It
is also not uncommon for Amity teachers to plan group
outings with their coworkers during their vacation periods
or on days off. In addition to going out for dinner and
singing at karaoke, some typical seasonal group outings
are ski trips in winter, cherry blossom viewing parties
in spring, fireworks festivals in summer and harvest festivals
in fall.
The more teachers become involved in activities apart from teaching, the more complete and enjoyable their experience will be. And when it comes time to return home, teachers realize that they have created lasting memories and lifelong friendships.

Getting
to know your Japanese staff members and exchanging cultural
information with them will increase the enjoyment of your
job and your stay in Japan by tenfold. The interests of
our teaching staff varies greatly and you may find yourself
learning new things in unexpected ways. Some of our teachers
have participated in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony,
experienced ancient Shinto rituals, tried their hand at
shodo (Japanese calligraphy), sparred with professional
Sumo wrestlers and even attended a Japanese style wedding.
