If you pay 30,000 yen (about 300,000 won), you will be provided with an opportunity to experience the culture of Japanese schools.
According to Japanese media such as Mainichi Shimbun, the event company 'Undokaiya' recently launched a program called 'Your High School' that allows foreign visitors to experience their day as a Japanese student.
The location of the program is a school located in a mountainous area in Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture, which was previously closed, but was renovated and opened in November last year.
Undokaiya created the program to provide overseas tourists with an opportunity to experience Japanese school culture while boosting local tourism", he explained.
If you pay 30,000 yen, all tourists, regardless of their age, can become 'one-day students', and up to 30 people can participate every day. Classes are held in English, and visitors wear school uniforms, learn Japanese and calligraphy, and take kendo classes in traditional clothes such as kimonos.
They also learn how to prepare for disasters such as earthquakes or experience events that reenact a scene from Japanese animation.
What's unique is the teachers' 'past'.
These are not formal teachers, but people hired by event companies.
A teacher once lived 'back alley' but met a mentor and became a teacher, he said.
After the class, visitors will clean the classroom, where they can learn cleaning skills and experience traditional Japanese education that promotes teamwork and responsibility, the event company said.
At the end of the schedule, visitors receive a certificate of graduation.
Netizens want to experience ", "It will help revitalize local tourism", "I think it will be a fun opportunity" give a back reaction.
