I already know you have no say what-so-ever with the schools you're placed in. I just hope that if I do manage to get in, that it's a nice school with eager students. ^^;

Sister-city helps!
I know people that "didn't want to live in Tokyo" and put "rural" first. The stories I would hear about the REALLY rural places they will place JETs will surprise you. Town of 300...Bus comes only twice a day... have to take a boat to get anywhere...
So to answer your question...YES. Don't choose "rural" because you don't want to live in downtown Tokyo. Rural Japan is like that American Ozarks.
