Unique Cultural Experiences

What sets our school trips to Japan apart is the depth of cultural connection. From sumo practice and sword making to homestays with local families and food tours, students will engage with authentic Japanese life. One of our favourite add-ons is a 2-day excursion to the Kunisaki Peninsula in rural Kyushu, a region known for its rich history, sacred temples and sustainable farming practices. Here, students can:

  • Learn to weave tatami mats from local craftsmen
  • Stay in a traditional farmer’s inn and enjoy meals made from locally-harvested ingredients
  • Participate in festivals like the Shujo Onie Fire Festival
  • Visit Buddhist temples, hike to ancient stone Buddhas and explore traditional religious syncretism
