School Exchanges

Beginning in 2007, TCVB has been helping to arrange school visits in Tokyo, primarily for high schools and junior high schools.

What TCVB Offers

  • Finding a host school
  • Arranging the schedule for the day of the visit
  • Assistance on the day of the visit
    (TCVB staff on site, arranging interpreters, etc.)

We don't charge for the arrangement, but if some incidental expenses are incurred (e.g. lunch at the school), the school will be asked to cover the expenses.

To inquire, please fill out this "Application Form(EXCEL:30KB)"in English or Japanese, and submit it to us 3 months prior to the departure date of your trip to Japan. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Note

  • ・We do not arrange visits to schools for private individuals.
  • ・We only arrange school visits.
    For other arrangements, consult a land operator or travel agency."TCVB Inbound Supplier"
