Beach party, cabins, and games: a joint OitaJET and MAJET summer event
Summer is officially in the Kyushu air and we’ve come together with Oita JET to bring you the first event to celebrate the season’s arrival. Where else should one spend summer but by the beach?
On the weekend of June 13th and 14th, join Miyazaki AJET and Oita JET at Sumie beach, one of the best attractions in Nobeoka and a beach famous for its facilities, cleanliness, and clear waters. We will be renting either the cabins or the campgrounds at the Sumie Family Village, based on your stated preference! (Note: OitaJET and MAJET will be booking cabins separately, so your roommates will be your fellow Miyazakians.) Naturally, there will be barbeque grilling in the evening, so remember to bring your favourite foods and drinks!
The Amazing Race – One does not simply walk through Miyazaki
The time has finally come for the Fourth Annual Amazing Race Miyazaki! This is one of our biggest events of the year. Some of you may already be familiar with the American TV show, The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race Miyazaki is loosely based around this televised competition, except that teams will follow clues which will take them to different “Quests” within the boundaries of Miyazaki City. This year, each Quest and their Clues are inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s books and their movie counterparts, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. So go watch the movies or read the books to get yourself in the mood!

Ice Skating in Ebino 2015
On the weekend of February 21st, we organized a little trip into the mountains of Ebino for some ice skating. A grand total of 24 people came out to get their don’t-fall-on-the-ice game on!
Masquerade Madness!
January marks the middle of the JET contract, and what better way to celebrate half a year in Japan than with a great big bash? ALTs, CIRs, and our Japanese friends gathered from far and wide for MAJET’s Midyear Masquerade! We even had a few people come in from neighboring prefectures 😉 This was certainly an event to remember!
Call for Volunteers!
We are proud to announce the Fourth Annual Amazing Race! It will be held on April 18th in Miyazaki City this year, so mark your calendars! (Please note that we originally had this planned for March, but have since changed the date to April!!)
The Amazing Race is an event based on the popular TV show (Japanese explanation here) of the same name. The yearly event was started by a group of ambitious JETs who came together to create an event that would combine the knowledge and intellect of both English and Japanese speakers by bringing together Japanese culture and a yearly theme. This year’s theme is still a secret (shhh! 😉 ), but past themes have been based on popular books, TV shows, and movies.
