Welcome to the ETJ Kyoto Official Website.
We are a group of English teachers and school owners in and around the Kyoto area. Come join us for one of our local meetings, held bi-monthly, to learn new ideas for teaching children English in Japan. We have great presentations as well as time for everyone to share ideas, ask questions and network with others in the English-teaching world. We are a local chapter of the not for profit national group English Teachers in Japan (ETJ).
