Overview

Take a break from overcrowded tourist attractions and experience a relaxing day in the life of a Japanese high school student. Create enjoyable memories doing activities led by real local students with Mt. Fuji in the background during this unique tour.
You will get to experience “kaigui,” a common activity among Japanese high school students.
Kaigui refers to stopping by a convenience store or a popular restaurant on the way home from school to buy snacks or takeout, then enjoying them in a spot where eating is allowed—such as a station rooftop or an open space—while chatting with close friends or club mates during an after-school snack time.
