Why teach English in Osaka & Kansai?
Want to become part of the community in one of Japan’s friendliest areas?
Interac Kansai & South Central covers a large part of central Japan, with offices in Osaka, Nagoya, and Hamamatsu. Kyoto, Japan’s most famous traditional city, is also in reach!
Here are the highlights of getting an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) job.
Travel to Osaka & Kyoto
Visiting these bucket-list cities is a highlight of working here. Enjoy the food, fun, and nightlife of Osaka or the beautifully preserved streets of Kyoto.
Many famous companies and products have their roots here too, making it one of Japan’s greatest industrial regions.
Explore traditional Japan
Lots of historic buildings and world heritage sites are located right beside modern cities.
Teach English in Osaka, Nara, or Kyoto and explore Japanese castles, shrines, and temples in your free time. Many of our placements are in rural areas, each with its unique customs.
A great sense of humor
Tired of Tokyo and the metropolitan Kanto area? Locals in the Kansai and Central Japan area are known for their humor and friendliness.
Many of our English teachers enjoy the slapstick, self-deprecating humor of Osaka – ideal if you don’t take yourself too seriously!
More than just ‘a day job’
Find your people in the local community.
Our ALTs with jobs in Kyoto and Osaka often find themselves adopted by the locals, helping with Taiko drumming at schools, recording for local radio stations, or getting involved with cultural activities at the park or suburbs.
