As part of their mandate, they organize orientation and information exchange meetings, cultural exchange parties and even, study sessions. These activities are performed with the purpose of furthering the friendship between Japan and the countries involved in the Working Holiday Program. If you are thinking about travelling to Japan as a Working Holiday Maker, J.A.W.H.M. is a good place to start. Their advice and guidance regarding work opportunities and accommodation possibilities could make the difference between a memorable stay in Japan and a visit you would like to forget. To register, bring your passport and two photographs to a J.A.W.H.M. office once you arrive in Japan.
Registration is free.
Once you have registered and had your counselling meeting, you are free to use J.A.W.H.M.'s resources. The Japan Association for Working Holiday Makers has three main locations in Japan.
