Japanese schools may soon favor Toyama as a preferred destination for their annual school trips, a custom known as "Shugaku Ryoko." This possibility arises from a recent trend among schools reconsidering their typical travel routes and destinations. Toyama, a region known for its historical landmarks and natural beauty, could provide an enriching educational experience. As part of their curriculum, schools engage students in travel to enhance their sociocultural understanding and independent skills.

In Japan, "Shugaku Ryoko" (school trips) are ingrained in the education system, typically conducted in the sixth and ninth grades, with destinations varying across regions. These trips are not just for leisure but also to instill students with a sense of independence and knowledge about different parts of the country. Toyama becoming an appealing destination showcases a shift towards non-metropolitan, nature-rich regions.

Unlike in the US or EU, in Japan, the choice of destinations for school trips is heavily influenced not just for its educational value but also for its cultural essence. Whereas US or EU educational trips may be centered around scientific or historical museums, Japanese ones focus more on immersing students into the culture and nature of different areas in Japan.
