Overview

This activity offers a chance to experience the real after-school scenes of Japanese youth—such as visiting ice cream shops popular with local high school students or relaxing on the rooftop terrace of the station building. The focus is not on sightseeing, but on sharing time with peers of the same generation.
The true value lies not only in the activities themselves, but in the natural conversations and exchanges that arise from spending time together. To give parents peace of mind, we will also send photos of your child every 30 minutes during the experience.
Give your child the gift of this unique “After-School Experience” available only here. They are sure to gain meaningful learning through genuine peer-to-peer interactions.
