At a now closed school
Become a Japanese school student for a day
Wouldn't it be interesting to experience a unique Japanese school life full of youth?
Depart from Tokyo Shinjuku and experience a Japanese rural school for a day that will be unforgettable for a lifetime! First, change into your school uniform and become a full-time student at the entrance ceremony. Then, sit at your desk and take classes, eat lunch, and enjoy Japanese school life like a real student.
Experience Japanese culture in a different way by experiencing Japanese school life from morning to afternoon!
From the entrance ceremony to the graduation ceremony
3 years of memories built in one day
The Japanese school experience involves changing into the school uniform, which is the symbol of Japanese schools, as soon as you arrive at the school, and becoming a student of the school for just one day, and becoming a good student who listens well to your homeroom teacher! After that, you will have time to directly experience and learn about Japanese culture through calligraphy, social studies, physical education classes, etc. You will discover a completely different charm from traveling to famous tourist destinations.
After you finish cleaning the classroom like a real student, you'll have a graduation ceremony, so receive your diploma and complete your perfect school life!
A sports day full of passion
The purpose of sports day in Japanese schools is to improve physical strength, but it is also said to improve a sense of responsibility and solidarity. Since it is a part of Japanese school life, please participate in sports day with full passion! You may encounter a part of your youth that you did not know about. Also, have fun working together with the people who participated in the tour!

Shuttle Bus & Camping Options
The Japanese school life experience is held in Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo, so you can come directly or take a shuttle bus from Tokyo Shinjuku Station. The shuttle bus can be added as a free option, so you can start comfortably without worrying about complicated transportation by taking the shuttle bus! Of course, it will also be operated to Shinjuku Station after the experience.
There is also a camping option for an even more special experience. I highly recommend taking advantage of this special opportunity to spend a night at the school.
