More Information on Japan: Much of Japan's land is unsuitable for residential or industrial habitat. This forces people to live in about 20% of the actual land space and allows for many cities to have populations of over 1 million. Tokyo has a population of 8,535,792. You will find large, modern cities with much to do, see, and experience such as great shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. Coastal areas offer stunning beaches and, of course, there are plenty of activities on Mount Fuji.

Japan is an epicenter for electronic, automotive, and financial business and always has a demand for English teachers. Positions can vary from schools to private schools and business positions that pay extremely well.
