School trips

Many JHSs organise school trips in June. But due to the outbreak of and concern over swine flu, schools have begun cancelling some trips. Those who are resolute will hit the road to the capital Tokyo which remains a popular choice of destination as well as Kyoto and Nara and Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. The trip or shall we say the break usually lasts 3-4 days especially if you're a 3rd grader. 2nd graders are slightly less and as for the 1st graders - a day excursion would be just fine.
