Here’s some useful tips on visiting Japan:
When is the best season for school trip to Japan if I’d like to visit a Japanese school?
Most Japanese schools have three semesters: April to July, September to December, and January to March.
What kind of accommodation is available for school trips to Japan?
Japan offers a wide variety of accommodation from guesthouses to luxurious hotels. Staying at a Japanese-style inn (Ryokan) will be a special experience.
My students cannot speak Japanese well. Will this be an obstacle?
All Japanese people study English for at least 3 years, and the majority study for 6 years or more. So, you’ll have no difficulty finding someone to help you in English. Some people may not be fluent, or may be shy at first, but you will soon notice that people’s friendliness and willingness to communicate fully compensate for the lack of fluency in English.
