I spent my holiday teaching English in a town called Koga in Ibaraki. I worked for an independent eikaiwa school rather than as an ALT. It meant a lot more one-to-one contact with students of all ages, and it was a great way to get to know the people I was teaching. I loved it.

ditto, except still doing it, and instead of "work for" it's "own"

I love the conversations I have with the huge variety of students that come in, and as I get to know them better seeing the contrasts in general ways of thinking

Was it difficult to start your own business there? What kind of requirements were in place for you to start a business that allow you to stay there?
