🗾 1．The meaning of “travel” is changing

In recent years, the purpose of visiting Japan has been gradually shifting among international visitors.
More and more people are saying:

“I want to see Japan to think about my future,”
rather than simply coming for shopping or sightseeing.

This trend is not limited to students considering study abroad.
It is also spreading among families thinking about their children’s education,
and professionals who envision building their careers or starting businesses in Japan.

🎓 2．New learning that begins with a “short-term stay”

Even during a short stay, visiting schools and companies,
and experiencing Japan’s society and work culture firsthand
can be a powerful and eye-opening experience.

For example:
observing classes at a Japanese language school,
listening to administrative scriveners or business experts,
and engaging in cultural experiences such as tea ceremony —
all of these moments make the idea of

“studying here” or “working here”
feel more tangible and realistic.

🌸 3．Where travel and education intersect

This fusion of “learning and travel” is still a relatively new concept,
but Seikohsya sees great potential in it.

Experiences that go one step beyond sightseeing
can lead to future decisions in education, career, and life planning.
We call it:

“A short journey to design one’s life.”

💼 4．The value of small-group, tailor-made journeys

Small, tailor-made tours offer both
time to deeply understand Japan and space to reflect on oneself.

Participants can notice the subtle rhythm of Japanese towns,
find insights through conversations with locals,
and absorb each experience at their own pace —
something large group tours rarely allow.

Because each traveler’s purpose is clear,
connections formed among participants are often profound and meaningful.
It becomes a shared time —
a “crossroad of lives” beyond mere sightseeing.

Such stays can turn the desire to

“study in Japan,” “work in Japan,” or “live in Japan”
into a more concrete and achievable plan.
