Meals Key: B = Breakfast, L = Lunch, D = Dinner

At G•E•T Educational Tours we recognise that improving young people’s understanding, skills, values and personal development can significantly enhance learning and achievement. Educational tours are without doubt amongst the most memorable learning experiences.

They help us to make sense of the world around us by establishing the link between feelings and learning. They stay with us far beyond our school years and affect our behaviour, lifestyle and work. They influence our values and the decisions we make. They allow us to transfer learning experienced outside to the classroom and vice versa.

G•E•T Educational Tours "Living Lessons" are about raising achievement through an organised, powerful approach to learning in which direct experience is of prime importance. "Living Lessons" are not only about what we learn, but importantly how and where we learn.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

OPTIONS

How do we use a Japan Rail Pass?

JR Passes are only available in exchange for a voucher that must be pre-purchased from G•E•T Educational Tours before departure. You will need to provide a copy of each person’s passport (name in the passport and on the voucher must be exactly the same) to a midori-no-madoguchi booking office at any JR station and at the airport on arrival. JR passes are valid for any JR service, including the Shinkansen Bullet train (but not for the Nozomi super express).

Should we stay in a ryokan?

Ryokans offer students an authentic Japanese experience. Whilst some ryokans are expensive, our experienced educational tour consultants have identified cost effective ryokans - some with en-suite bathrooms.

Is Japan expensive?

If you shop wisely, it doesn’t have to be. There are "100 Yen" shops all over Japan that stock a vast array of goods including souvenirs and everyday items.

Where should we eat out?

For lunch, convenience stores feature a range of fresh sandwiches, salads and obento lunchboxes for under $8.00. They will even heat your lunchbox and provide boiling water for 2 minute noodles! For dinner, try an authentic noodle or sushi bar. There are always good value places to eat in the vicinity of rail stations, designed for businessmen to grab a quick dinner before the long commute home and perfect for students.

I have never taken a group to Japan before. Will I be okay?

The experienced staff at G•E•T Educational Tours have been helping teachers like you take groups to Japan for over 20 years. There are many former teachers in the office who understand exactly what your needs are. We can provide you with ideas for your itinerary, maps for all the places that you will visit and offer suggestions on how best to engage students in their experience.

Is it more expensive to use a travel agent? Can’t I just book it myself?

Due to our buying power with our suppliers, G•E•T Educational Tours can negotiate the best prices possible.

I am not confident that my kanji is good enough to find my away around.

When Japan hosted the World Cup soccer in 2002, signs in popular tourist destinations were changed to have romaji readings (additionally, in the teacher’s section of the Japan Tour Study guide, there is a glossary of commonly used kanji).

Narita Airport is so far from Tokyo. How will I find my way there?

There are a number of options for you, from the Narita Express train, private coach transfer or Limousine Bus service. We can organise any of the above for you.

I want my students to do homestay but we haven’t got a sister school.

G•E•T Educational Tours have contacts all over Japan. We can organise a homestay in various places across Japan, mostly in traditional rural locations.
