Oh yeah, how does insurance work? I read someplace that it's good to keep the same insurance you have in your home country and to get it after getting into JET. What if you're in a situation where you don't even have insurance in your home country?

Your info was wrong. They sign you up for a mandatory Japanese insurance program when you get there. I'm not sure if it's identical for all JETS or if ESID, but all JETs are required to have Japanese insurance. The payments for it will be automatically deducted from your bank account or paycheck. I didn't have any insurance before going to Japan, and I didn't keep any US insurance while there... there's no reason to do that. At most you'll be in the US only a few weeks out of the year anyway.
