The Present Situation of
　　　　　　　　　Serious Shortages of Doctors

In order to resolve the shortages of obstetricians and pediatricians mainly in rural areas, the government/governing party put together the “Emergency Measures to Ensure Doctors”. The pillars include a doctor dispatching system at the country level and the expansion of the limit of enrollment for medical schools students from rural areas. These have been reflected in the government’s “large-boned policy” compiled in June and as well as the government party’s campaign promises for the Upper House election in summer. As the emergency measure, the government will set up a “Doctor Bank” at the country level which allows the temporary dispatch of doctors to areas that are in shortage according to the requests from the prefectures. They assume that the registrants will be the doctors who have retired.


In addition, as the medium and long-term measure, they have reduced the enrollment limit of postgraduate education hospitals in metropolitan areas in order to make young doctors move into rural areas. Many medical schools have increased their enrollment limit for students from rural areas and have exempted the doctors who work in the area or the specialty that are short of doctors from the obligation to pay back scholarships.


In the meeting held by the government/governing party at the Prime Minister’s office, the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stated, “We will try our best so that many citizens will be able to feel the improvement and feel comfortable with the health care system in rural areas”. The government is executing the plan by formulating an action plan across the office and ministries in the future.

Following the announcement, many groups have stood up to face the shortage of doctors, including Medic Service. We should send hearty cheers to those that work hard every day from dawn to dusk in order to resolve the problem. If you know any doctors, there is a website that you should let them know.
That is Medic Service’s Registration for Doctors・Medical Care Recruiting Website.

★“DK HOUSE WARABI” OPEN

Reporter: Shiho Hitomi, W University 2nd year student

Recently, I went to the private view of “DK HOUSE WARABI” which had just been opened.

Before I went there, I had had the image that guest house is for “poor foreigners”. (Those associated please excuse me.)

But “DK HOUSE WARABI” was really excellent! I’ll try to explain the reasons why I was surprised here.

First of all, you only need to pay the “￥30,000 deposit” when you move in! You know, when I moved in to my room where the rent is ￥70,000 per month, I ended up paying almost ￥400,000. That’s almost 6 months of rent.

What was even more surprising was the security. Despite the fact that many advanced machines are in operation, they are going to install twice as many security cameras.

What I have realized since I started living by myself is that sometimes I get lonely at night. But since the manager and his wife are there the whole time, it’s really reassuring.

Maybe that’s why there are many foreigners. Comparing to going to classes if you’re not learning much, maybe it’s easier to learn Japanese here. Also, there is a big kitchen where every one can enjoy cooking and eating together!

From the Japanese style-room and the garden, we can see that they are trying to promote the Japanese culture. They also have Japanese harp practices as well as seminars on how to put on yukata.

The rooms are big too! (8 tatami) Moreover, they’re all furnished! You can start your new life with just a bag. This is so good… If you want to be alone, this is the place where you can calm yourself. And since you can use the internet for free, you can also do the research required for your homework.

You can see a row of cherry blossom trees through the window. The image I had had towards guest houses was totally changed by this gorgeous guest house which is located in a calm neighborhood. I should have moved here~~ (tears)

Seasonal Food・Food for Anniversary in Korea
１．Wedding
Silver line noodles (Gukusu): In Korea, there is a custom of having a meal after the wedding, and usually people eat Gukusu which represents their wish for the couple’s longevity and happiness. These days, instead of eating Gukusu, people eat other foods as well, but the meaning has remained unchanged.

２． Samubok
Samgyetang: Sambok means the hottest period of the year. It changes every year, but it usually falls in between July and August. In order to beat the summer heat and to build up one’s body, people often eat Samgyetang in Korea. It is a typical Korean healthy dish that contains stewed sticky rice, Korean ginseng, chestnuts, garlic, claws, and other ingredients. People not only eat it during this period but throughout the year as well.

３．Chusok
Sonpyon: On this day which is equivalent to the Obon Festival in Korea, people make rice flour from the rice harvested in that year and eat it with beans and sesame.

４．Before taking an exam
Candy (Yoh): There is a custom of giving test-takers candies in Korea. Since candies are sticky, there is a meaning of “stick to the school of your choice!”. It used to be only the candies, but nowadays people give out other sticky foods such as sticky rice cake, chocolate, and so on.

Kazuyo Tezuka
She majored in Japanese-language education in a graduate school in Korea. After returning to Japan, she received the Japanese Language Teaching certificate after 420 hours of training. She has 4 years of experience in teaching Japanese and 3 years of experience in teaching Korean.

Why did you become a Japanese teacher?
When I was in university, I was the president of the Tutoring Club. I was able to increase communications with students from abroad, and a few foreign students had told me “Why don’t you become a Japanese teacher?” However, I wasn’t aware of that back then. I then went on an exchange to Korea, the place that I was interested in. I was so into Korea that I started to look for ways to avoid having to come back. At the end I figured that I could stay there with a student visa and thus made up my mind to enter graduate school. The only faculty I could enter was the faculty of Japanese Language Education. Upon graduation, it was hard to find a job in Japan, so I decided to become a Japanese teacher instead of working at a company.

What makes the job as a Japanese teacher worth doing?
The best moments are when the students tell me “Oh, I got it!” or “”Your classes are interesting”. I see their reactions right away, so it’s exciting every day for good or for bad. In addition, they often ask me questions that I have never thought of from the Japanese perspective, so I have learned a lot as I get to see things differently.

Dreams for the Future
My goal is to become a person with “healing power” ♪
I hope to become a person that always has something to spare in many aspects.

A message for future Japanese teachers
It may sound strict, but people who want their own time should not do this job. You cannot really draw a line between private life and the job. In addition, you will not be able to do it for long if you just want to use it as a means to go abroad. You should call it a few years of rigorous training rather than work. You would be worried about how to make the lessons more interesting and how to make them easier to understand every day. (In my case I was teaching at 3 different schools, and the average time of sleep I got was 3 hours). There are also many problems other than the lessons! If you still feel “I want to do it for sure!” even so, please become a Japanese teacher by all means. I support you from the bottom of my heart.

Q: The country with the 11th highest GDP in the world. A member of the OECD. World’s leader in ship building, internet, cell phones, semi-conductors, LCD, and MP3 technologies. It is also competitive in nuclear power, automobiles, iron and steel, high speed railway, and robotics. The country that has the highest percentage of internet users. Which country is that?

A: The answer is Korea.
It seems like people have the image that expensive goods don’t sell well in Korea. However, as a matter of fact, high value-added goods are sold at more expensive prices in Korea than in Japan. The existence of many undeveloped markets and the lack of competition are the main reasons. In addition, goods with high originality are also traded at high prices. There are cases where foreign goods are traded at prices that are three times as much.

In other words,
Korea is not only a country where the dramas and the actors are popular. It is also a country that is attractive as a marketplace for businesses.

Since our establishment, we have been focusing on “Korean language” and have accumulated know-how in many areas. Right now we are accepting corporate members and we would like to make contributions to “corporations that are related to Korea”.

Ingredients A (for sushi rice): rice 780g, water 400cc, seaweed 5cm
Combined vinegar: rice vinegar 3 table spoons, sugar 1 table spoon, salt 1 tea spoon
Ingredients B: Aburaage 10 pieces, white sesame seeds 2 table spoons
Water with stock to boil Aburaage: water 1 and a half cups (300cc), sugar 3 table spoons, Japanese sweet rice wine 1 table spoon, soy sauce 3 table spoons

How to make sushi rice
1. Rinse your rice and leave it in the water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, drain the water and put the rice in a rice cooker with water (400cc) and seaweed.
2. Stir the ingredients for the combined vinegar. Stir salt and sugar well.
3. When the rice is cooked, put it on the plate and stir it well until it cools down by using a fan.
(stir it with rice spoon like you are cutting the rice)
4. Put combined vinegar into the rice and stir them well.
5. Boil Aguraage for 2 minutes to get rid of the excess oil.
6. Put them in a strainer to get rid of the water. Cut the aburaage in half then put your finger into it to open it up gently.

7. Put the ingredients for water with stock to boil aburaage into a pot and put the stove on high heat. When it is boiled, put aburaage in and put the stove on low heat.
8. When most of the water is evaporated, turn off the stove and cool it down.
9. Take aburaage from the pan then squeeze them gently.
10. Put white sesame seeds in the rice and stir them lightly.
11. Put sushi rice into aburaage and close them up

We don’t use raw fish for this recipe, this is also a decent "osushi".
You can put anything in sushi rice if you like.
You can also put sliced Japanese pickles in sushi rice.

It is suitable for any leisure activity such as a sports carnival or Ohanami.
