Surroundings (possible trips, ...)

Tokyo is gigant and there is lot to see. I personaly just took train and got of at random spot and took a walk except few exceptions. Definitely go to maneki-neko shirne and to towns near tokyo. Visit the botanical garden, and chery garden, mountains in area. The natural park is super pretty and coast is amazing. Dont forget to check chiba predecture before you leave. Its worth the visist.

Employer

The work was in form of a small forest survey with camera traps and was dependent on my own initiative. Which was cool. Learned a lot.

Salary (sufficient for local conditions?)

Salary was definitely enough for food, rent, travel. Bring some cash for suveniers tho. Got money on arival.

Language requirements

English is definitely enough, japanese would be amazing.

Provided by university (profesor) at campus for 35 000 yen/month.

I was picked up at trainstation after talking to the iaeste pick up memmeber. We had lot of fun activities and also met up randomly for food and drinks.

There is czech pub in tokyo rann by two japanise XD. Met few czech tourists and then there is ambasay.

Recommendations for students who will go to the same place

Get pasmo or suica online. Learn some japanise phrases. Its better to take out cash from atm than exchage at exchange shop. Better rate and less fees. Its also very cheap to send small parcels via japanise post. I did it alone but the iaeste will love to help you.
