Take your students on an unforgettable educational journey through Japan’s deep historical roots and renowned artistic heritage.
This tour balances ancient traditions with contemporary expression. Students will explore centuries-old architecture in Kanazawa, study historical preservation and modern art in Tokyo, and experience the weight of history in Hiroshima. This itinerary gives students a well-rounded understanding of how Japan’s past shapes its modern identity.
Your school can expect a carefully curated balance of guided historic tours, museum visits, and practical cultural workshops. Students will stay in comfortable 3-star accommodation throughout the trip, with full ground transport and a dedicated tour manager ensuring daily operations run smoothly.
Tokyo offers a dynamic backdrop where historic cultural traditions seamlessly coexist with cutting-edge visual arts. Students can wander the grounds of ancient sacred sites like Senso-ji Temple and Meiji Shrine before stepping into Ueno Park to explore centuries of artifacts at the Tokyo National Museum. That rich heritage is directly juxtaposed against Tokyo’s modern creative scenes, from global contemporary visual art at the Mori Art Museum to hands-on digital installations at teamLab. This contrast allows students to examine how classical Japanese aesthetics, storytelling, and craftsmanship actively shape today's pop culture, architecture, and visual media.
A pivotal historical stop on the itinerary, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum offers students an impactful look at 20th-century history, international relations, and ongoing peace education. Guided through the exhibits and monuments, students engage directly with historical artifacts and primary source accounts, encouraging critical thinking about history and global diplomacy.
Kanazawa sits on the coast of the Sea of Japan, offering a remarkably well-preserved glimpse into Japan’s feudal history alongside a thriving contemporary arts scene. Escape the heavy crowds of Kyoto while giving your students direct access to authentic Edo-period architecture in the Higashi Chaya geisha district and the formidable Nagamachi samurai quarters. The city is home to Kenroku-en, considered one of Japan’s three great landscape gardens, where students can study traditional Japanese landscape design and aesthetics.
"My sincere thanks for your hard work in organising this trip for us. We know just how much time and effort goes into these things, and your attention to detail really made for a smooth trip for us. We can't be grateful enough for what EA did for us!"
"I believe the memories created on an international school trip can drastically enhance a student's entire learning experience. Being immersed in real-life learning is the most powerful educational experiences one can gain."
"This was the trip of a lifetime for our students, It’s definitely the furthest we have taken anyone from our school. By the time we got back we'd already had emails from parents thanking us and the senior team were straight onto that to say, ‘hey, what do you think about doing, doing this again next year?’ Everything went smoothly on the trip and we didn’t have any problems anywhere."
“This trip has taken the top spot for my career highlights to date! The experiences and the way in which the students conducted themselves and embraced opportunities, even when they were out of their comfort zone, will stay with me forever. I don’t know if it gets better than this.”
