Public Junior High ALT in Gifu City, Gifu

Gifu city, a beautiful city of some 400,000 people on the Nagara river, is conveniently located just 20 minutes north of Nagoya city with easy access to both the city and the mountains. There is also a solid community of more than 20 ALTs already working there which will definitely help the transition and provide ongoing support. These Gifu city positions offer slightly less money per month as a result of balancing slightly longer holiday periods and fewer working days per year.
