I’m currently an ALT in Japan. I need to relocate to Nagoya by spring 2027 to be near my fiancé’s company’s headquarters.

I’m considering applying for Eikawas like ECC or AEON. My fiancé wants me to be free on the weekends, however I’ve heard it’s very unlikely to have weekends free for people working for those companies. Is that true?

I’ve read many negative things about Nagoya’s English teaching positions as a dispatch ALT.

The salary doesn’t have to be high (I’m already living on a very low salary) , but I would like to have Shakai Hoken, if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I also had a question: How can I apply for ECC? All of the recruitment options on their website are overseas but I’m already living in Japan. When I started my application on the English website, it wouldn’t let me proceed unless I chose an overseas location for recruitment. Thank you!

Hello! I’ve been working for an ALT dispatch company for a few years now. It’s an ok experience, but of course, things could be better…
I was wondering that before I apply to JET, are there any placements in or near Nagoya? What are the chances of getting a placement around Nagoya? Thanks!

I (foreigner) live here in Japan. Someone close to me (Japanese) often loses his temper in very childish ways. It’s particularly concerning because he is almost 30.

One example is when he’s golfing and gets frustrated with it, he will throw his golf club in the air. Last night, the golf club almost hit me in the face.

There are many other examples, but I don’t want to get into them right now.

He has never hit me or anyone else.

He is aware of his anger issues and blames it on his genetics. He says that it’s just who he is because of his dna.

How do people manage anger issues here?
I’m just curious as to how anger issues are addressed in adults.

Thank you!
