It was a cold, foggy afternoon when MAJET ventured to the heights of Ebino for a Valentine’s Day skating session. Engulfed in fog, you couldn’t even see the people skating on the other side of the rink!

Midyear Masquerade: A Night at the Movies
Winter is such a dull time, even in Miyazaki. We get so used to the sun for most of the year that the shortened days really take their toll. Because of this, our midyear party is an important event to get people out of their houses and raise spirits. This year we decided to switch up the masquerade a bit by giving it a theme: A Night at the Movies! Continue reading
`Twas the 6th Annual Christmas Market
‘Twas the night before Market, when in ‘Zak City,
Seven sleepy elves gathered to make cookies pretty.
The icing was dried in Chelsea’s kitchen with care
In hopes that the cookies would sell with great flair.

Paparazzi at the ready…
Merry Christmas Miyazaki! We hope you’re all having a fantastic last few days at work and are all ready and packed for whatever seasonal adventures you have planned! Meanwhile, in the MAJET world, plans for our annual Mid-Year Party are well underway and we would like to take this opportunity to extend to all of you an official invitation to… Continue reading

Heroes in Nejime–the 2015 Dragon Boat Races
Hey Miyazaki, it’s the middle of November already! (How did that happen!?)

Volunteer Opportunities at the Miyazaki International Christmas Market 2015
It’s the most wonderful time of the year–when KFC just doesn’t cut it and homesickness sets in. Beat that blue Christmas with some volunteering! It’s the perfect way to jingle mingle in the true spirit of the season.
With the help of Sascha Klinger (former Miyazaki City CIR), the folks at Miyazaki City Hall, and your very own MAJET, Miyazaki Municipal University is hosting the 6th Annual Miyazaki International Christmas Market!
Sascha brought the European tradition to Miyazaki six years ago, and each year it gets better! Even if you come as a mere spectator, you can enjoy Christmas treats from around the world, fun workshops, and stage performances. Continue reading
Happy Halloween!
A little bit of rain can’t stop us! MAJET’s barbecue at Aoshima
In true Miyazaki fashion, we didn’t let a bit of tricky weather prevent us from having a good time at this year’s Aoshima Beach Barbecue! (Though we did abandon the campout, just to avoid sogginess in the morning.)
In the afternoon of September 26, we began meeting at Aoshima Beach. The tide was super high, possibly due to that supermoon everyone was going on about… Continue reading
