Greetings Everyone.

I'm about a year away from my degree and I'm hoping to find a school in Japan to teach English. My big problem is finding the right school because I like to do a lot of research before I make my selections. I've been looking at schools via search engines for the past several years and already know a few that seem decent, but I was hoping that maybe some folks out there know a few more I could add to my list. The big ones I am aware of that are still operational include:

Aeon
Jet Programme

I'm leaning more towards conversational schools and I'm hoping for a more urban setting, preferably in Nagoya, Tokyo or Kyoto. Any thoughts, advice, or anything else would be grand! If nothing else, I'd love to just talk about what it's like to teach English. I've read countless blogs, podcasts and more on the subject but it's always fun to have a new perspective.

Thanks!

Approaching them cold is not likely to be very effective, sorry.
Better to focus on the job sites and apply.
Gaijinpot is one of the most popular.
