Kamijima town, here were come!

..but we still don't know exactly where.

So, we're headed to Kamijima, which is a group of small islands in the Seto Inland Sea (the sea between Honshu and Shikoku, two of Japan's four big islands). Pay no attention to the green arrow.



Here's the Seto Inland Sea:



Kamijima's islands are actually closer to Honshu than they are to Shikoku, but they belong to Ehime Prefecture (similar to a state), which is part of Shikoku.



There are four assistant language teachers (ALTs) in Kamijima. One is living on Iwagi, one on Yuge, one on Ikina, and one on Uoshima. The Iwagi ALT is staying for another year, but the other three are leaving. That means that we'll be on one of those three islands. We still don't know which of the three islands will be our home, since we haven't been contacted by my contracting organization (I'll be employed by the Kamijima board of education). We'll surely let everyone know when we find out.



Later, I'll go into a little more detail about each of the islands and Kamijima in general. For now, everyone can know where in Japan we'll be (sort of).
