Why Tokyo?

Trips to Tokyo also bring the chance to interact with local schools. The city having hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, many of Tokyo's schools sought opportunities for international exchange. Students of all ages are still excited at the prospect of meeting and communicating with their peers from overseas.

Any destination chosen for a school trip must be safe, and it must provide a sense of security. According to the Safe Cities Index 2021 (Health Security category) report compiled by UK-based news magazine The Economist, Tokyo ranks as the safest major city in the world.
