Just checked my email, and found this letter from The Language School:
From: (name of Language School person)
Hello Josh,
Here's the latest information for you;
1.
We got your tentatie (sp) placement;
The name of the school is called Sendai in Satsuma-Sendai City in Kagoshima Prefecture in Kyushu Region.
Sendai is about 30 minutes away by train from Kagoshima City(Capital City in Kagoshima).
Kagoshima itself fases to the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean and is popular among marine sports lovers.
It is also famous for the steam sand baths in Ibusuki. You should try that, it was real good.
Also what makes me jealous is that it is very close to Okinawa(Japan's Hawaii)!!
2.
Here's the possible training/arrival schedule for you;
June 23-26 Training in Vancouver
June 27 Fly out from Vancouver
June 28 Arrive in Fukuoka Airport in Kyushu Region
Once visa is processed, everything will happen all at once.
Please be prepared.
So I guess I will be spending a year in Satsumasendai, although I have never heard anything about it. It is pretty far from my uncle in Himeji, so I don't know if I am really that pleased with this. But I am glad I am not in a giant city like Toyko, and it is located in the south of Japan, so it shouldn't be too cold there. I will just have to do some more research and figure out what Satsumasendai has to offer.

Hey Josh,
I live in Kagoshima city, and pass through Sendai all the time. Feel free to email me if you've got any questions. Kagoshima prefecture is a great area with history, culture, and hot springs; from Sendai, you can take the train into Kagoshima and ferry from there to any number of islands.
maybe you'll meet some shibatas, that's where they are from. matt says there's supposedly a shibata town there. look for little fields of shrubs.
