Thanks...... looking into it now!

You've hit the nail on the head! We were planning on going to South Korea to teach English but on our way their last year they changed the Visa legislation that meant we had to do an interview in our home country! Therefore we had to come all the way home even though we had flights booked to go to Korea. We went to Korea and figured we didn't like it so now we want to give Japan a go as it has an easier Visa process and we've heard lots of great things about the place!! Thanks for your advice, any idea where to start?

Thanks alot for that! I'll look into anything i can on that..... Nagano....... how long does it take to get to the closest mountain, lets say for an evening run or whatever? What do you do out there? What kind of jobs do most people do when they come out there on the one year visa?

Hey guys, My girlfriend and I are coming out to Japan in August on the 1 year working Visa but don't have any jobs yet. Just a couple of questions really. I want to get into working with an outdoors adventure company, I've no experience but am willing to start at the bottom and then in winter do a snowboarding instructor course. My girlfriend wants to teach English. Anyone know of any good places to go that has good snow in winter, a nice ex-pat community and is generally a nice place to live for a year? Thanks guys! Looking forward to it!
