Kai has a 45 hour, 3-week course in summer for a good price. Do you know 
if they have a winter one? They mention a it but there's no information 
there.

I'm leaning towards Tokyo because I really want to experience life 
there. If I ever live in Japan longer term it is likely to be Tokyo, so 
I want to feel what it is like to be there on a daily basis.

Also there are gaijin houses there. What accomodation is available 
near/at Yamasa for around 63,000 a month?
