Hi there,

We've had some success in the past with signing-up for mixi and creating a community around some videos we uploaded to the site on the topic of advanced English. It's a lot of work to keep it up but if you stick to it, it'll be worth it.

Also, you should try partnering with travel agencies in Japan-- there are a bunch of them (large and small) and they are all looking for new experiences for their travel clientele. This will probably be your best bet.

AdWords in Japan will be hit or miss. It will be important for you to have a credible partner-- that's how business gets done in Japan. If you do decide to spend money on PPC ads, use Yahoo's Japan network since people use Yahoo more than Google over there.
