In June Nick and I are moving to Japan! We will be teaching English at Griff School in Numata City, in Gunma Prefecture. Numata is north-west of Tokyo in the mountains. We will be surrounded by mountains on three sides, with many nearby ski slopes, hot springs and wetlands to explore. The kanji character for Numata approximately mean "boggy field."
Here is the link to the Prefecture (like a state) website: http://www.pref.gunma.jp/english/index.htm
And to the city webpage: http://www.city.numata.gunma.jp/english/outline.html
Come visit! Seriously! (c'mon, when else will you be able to travel to Japan so inexpensively and comfortably as when you have two charming and good-looking hosts to show you around?!)
