Tokyo is located roughly in the middle of the Japanese archipelago facing the Pacific Ocean. Tokyo is on the Kanto plain. On its eastern border is Tokyo Bay. The far western portion of Tokyo is mountainous and unsuitable for urbanization. The highest mountain in Tokyo, Mount Kumotori, is 6,617 ft. (2,017 m) high. Tokyo also has numerous outlying islands, many of which are volcanic, that extend as far as 1,150 mi. (1,850 km) from the center of the city. GLOBAL MOBILITY SOLUTIONS l SPOTLIGHT ON TOKYO l 02 SPOTLIGHT ON TOKYO COST OF LIVING Just like any large city, Tokyo has an array of different neighborhoods that range from very poor to very expensive. The "downtown" area of Tokyo is very expensive, and has very few detached homes. As with most cities in the United States, generally, the further one moves from the city center, the more affordable property becomes. Most single-family, detached dwellings can be found in the far western wards. Living costs in Tokyo do depend on your location, employment, and other circumstances. Below are the median home purchase price and median monthly rent for the city of Tokyo. Real Estate Costs* Median Detached Home Price Median Condo Price (650 ft2) Median Monthly Rent (3 BDRM) ¥33,700,000 ¥99,465,526 ¥292,200 Approx. $299,391 USD* Approx. $909,224 USD* Approx. $2,671 USD* *Based on exchange rate at the time of publishing.

  • Policy Formation and Implementation of School Choice Reform in Japan: an Example of Local Adaptation of Educational Borrowing
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by GLIM IR Institution Repository Policy Formation and Implementation of School Choice Reform in Japan: An Example of Local Adaptation of Educational Borrowing Toshiyuki Omomo Gakushuin Women’s College Naoshi Kira Toyo University INTRODUCTION This study examined policy formation and implementation of school choice reform at the compulsory education level in Japan. Because of global trends in governance reform, a variety of education reform initiatives, such as standards-based reform, ac- countability reform, etc., have been implemented across diff erent countries including Japan over the past few decades, and school choice reform is one of them. Distinctive features of governance reform over these decades included the diversifi cation of pro- viders, competitions among them, and consumers’ freedom, or parents’ freedom in the case of education. School choice reform is related to these features. A. Conceptual Framework and Literature Review The conceptual framework of this study comes from Gita Steiner-Khamsi’s work -- The Global Politics of Educational Borrowing and Lending (2004). In the Introduc- tion, Steiner-Khamsi fi rst mentioned that there was a trend to emphasize an interna- tional perspective in studying “privatization, decentralization, choice, and standards in education” (p. 1) as these reform movements were spreading around the world based on transnational borrowing and lending. She, then, pointed out that there was “[a] common misconception among practitioners” about the role of comparative education researchers as those who fi nd best practices to transfer from one system to another, which she described as a “normative, ameliorative approach” toward comparative studies.

    Special edition paper Detection of Increasingly Severe Natural Phenomena and Disaster Prevention for Railway Facilities Koichiro Mizuno* Akihiro Takizawa* Junji Oonuki* Hiroyuki Osawa* This paper describes detection of increasingly severe natural phenomena and disaster prevention for railway facilities operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Recently, weather conditions have been changing quickly and drastically in Japan, and safe and punctual operation is greatly affected by disasters. Therefore, we have introduced systemized and sophisticated observation equipment to detect meteorological phenomena such as heavy rainfall, scouring by flood, heavy snow, and strong wind as well as to detect earthquakes. Also, we have been working to increase resilience of railway facilities against disasters and reduce forces acting on those caused by disasters. With these actions, we manage mass, rapid, and dense transportation safely and properly. •Keywords: Operation control, Natural disaster, Torrential rain, Rockfall, Strong wind, Earthquake This paper introduces continuing and recent efforts, and it 1 Introduction explains objectives and effects of those efforts and concepts of measures taken.

    ACADEMIC ENCOUNTER The American University in Japan and Korea r ACADEMIC ENCOUNTER The American University in Japan and Korea By Martin Bronfenbrennet THE FREE PRESS OF GLENCOE, INC. A division of the Crowell-Collier Publishing Co. New York t BUREAU OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL RESEARCH Michigan State University f East Lansing, Michigan I Copyright@ 1961 BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY East Lansing, Michigan Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 61-63703 i t , PREFACE • This study of some 18 American university affiliations with Japanese and Korean institutions is a small part of a larger study of the American university overseas. The larger study l is undertaken by the Institute for Research on Overseas Pro­ grams at Michigan State University. What is said here about programs in Japan and Korea can be compared with what other staff members of the Institute have saidabout programs in other countries, particularly other Asian countries such as India and !t Indonesia. , Many believe with ex-President Eisenhower that the American university should expand its foreign affiliations as a contribution t to economic and cultural reconstruction and development over­ seas, and to better international understanding between America and other countries. In this view, university affiliations are an j important type of "people to people" contacts across national boundaries. Others believe that the American university should f concentrate its limited manpower and resources on the domestic job it does best, and reduce the scale of its commitments abroad. Part of the decision (or compromise) between these viewpoints should be based on a knowledge of what the existing international programs are in fact attempting or accomplishing.
