Revision as of 09:45, 12 August 2010

The AJET Welcome Beach Party is an annual event held in August each year at Kō Beach in Shima, usually the first weekend after the arrival of Group B. It gets most of the incoming JETs in Mie on the same beach for a full day and many recontacting JETs are there as well as many of them are interested in meeting the new JETs.
