The Japan National Tourist Organization (JNTO), by establishing a direct link to the National Council for Promoting Educational Trips to Japan, has introduced a new system to help American schools (or companies/organizations working on their behalf) find a matching school in Japan for educational visits or exchange programs. Statistically speaking, 6,385 students made educational trips to Japan in fiscal 2004. It is hoped that this new system will alleviate the difficulties in finding counterpart Japanese schools and greatly increase the amount of educational trips to Japan.

There’s some superb Japanese web sites in distinct subjects like films, Anime and radio but the majority are just reachable from Japan. I hope this video is useful to visitors of intheknowtraveler.com as it hows how you can use a Japanese proxy to access them from anywhere.
