Pros
An amazing experience that I'll never forget. I was placed in quite a rural town and was terrified that I'd be bored and isolated. But I was able to meet so many amazing people and travel all over the country.
Cons
Having a deep interest in language education, I was really looking forward to the work side of things. However, I was largely a tape recorder with tons of deskwarming which was depressing. The English textbooks are bizarre and mainly focus on how to explain Japan and Japanese culture to foreigners. Students are also taught the language in a robotic and unnatural way and any attempts to change this are often ignored.
