Organising a school trip is no simple feat. Even before you present the trip to students you need to get the school leadership team onboard. To do this, you need to choose a travel agent, go over the itinerary, and conduct health & safety checks to ensure you meet all school educational and safety requirements.

Whether your school offers a Japanese language course or not, a trip to Japan is a unique opportunity to broaden your students’ horizons.

While traditions are observed and respected, Japan is also a country that champions cutting-edge technology and pioneering modern design.

Packing for a school trip can be tricky, especially if your itinerary includes multiple locations. We’ve compiled a list of essential items, plus some extras that will help you make the most out of your trip to Japan with us. We recommend bringing a lightweight suitcase or large backpack as your main bag, plus a smaller day-pack to bring with you on excursions and to use as hand luggage. Remember that your trip may involve carrying your luggage on public transport, so avoid overly cumbersome luggage and don’t over-pack.

We pride ourselves on tailoring our educational tours to the needs of each group that travels with us. Paramount to a successful school trip are the learning outcomes teachers can hope to achieve in bringing a group of students to study in the field and in a new context. In this post we focus on Japan’s relevance as a destination for Geography students, particularly those who have reached Key Stages 4 and 5. We have picked out some of the topics that come up in the Geography GCSE and A-Level syllabuses, for which Japan makes an ideal case study.
