How to get to Japan in 2021 and our Jet Program quarantine experience!
Since Japan is currently closed for tourism in 2021, the process of getting into the country looks a little different then normal.
We flew from Vancouver to Tokyo and are spending two weeks in quarantine at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku!
After these boring two weeks we will be flying to our new home prefecture, Okayama, and moving into our apartment!
*If any upcoming JET’s have any questions regarding the JET program or quarantine process feel free to leave a comment or send us an email – we are more than happy to help out π

You guys rocked quarantine! Great video!
Residents of Japan baby ππ½
So exciting guys! Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more adventures!
Love it! Keep the videos coming!
Great video! Iβm a JET alumni myself. Greatest experience of my life!
Iβm planning on heading to Japan in a couple weeks to visit my in-laws. Even though my wife is Japanese I still need a visa to enter. Originally we were gonna stay at a hotel but we decided to save some money by staying at my brother in laws place for quarantine. Do you know if that would be allowed? I assumed that the address I put on my visa application and the address I put on the immigration documents when I enter need to match. But Iβm not entirely sure if thatβll be a problem.
Thanks for the information. I canβt wait till next year I get to move to Japan. I sure hope soon Japan will reopen for tourism so how does the process work with getting work visas in Japan? I am transferring jobs with Disney not sure if that will be easy but I just canβt wait.
Hello guys!
I'm glad you've made it to Japan. A great video!
I have arrived with a Professor visa a week ago. However, my wife got visa only yesterday (dependent). We wonder whether this suffices for her entry, as the government still asks for "special circumstances". I imagine our situation is very similar to yours.
Did you make some request for special circumstances for Shaneen ?
It's interesting to see what quarantine is like! Glad you got to stay somewhere nice, was it the Keio?
Love it!
Omg I had studied in Japan and worked in Japan. Only a gap year before post graduated program and now I had wait for 2 years and the country is still forbidden students. This is the one of the most suck country in the world.
What kind of camera are you using for your videos?
Just found your channel in my recommendations. Super excited to follow along!
