Japan

Where ancient traditions and the ultramodern co-exist in perfect harmony.

Top destination facts

Culture

Superstitions are big in Japan. For example, the numbers 4 and 9 are considered unlucky numbers. If you look closely, you’ll notice these numbers are missing from a number of normal scenarios. Your hotel accommodation may not have a 4th floor or a room number 49.

Language

The most common language spoken in Japan is Japanese although there are a number of other local dialects spoken throughout Japan. The Japanese counting system is considered one of the most confusing parts of the Japanese language as you must specify what kind of object you are counting.

Cuisine

Skilled sushi chefs, also known as Itamae train up to ten years to become a true sushi master. Authentic Japanese sushi is a master-art in sushi rice preparation. Legend says that a senior Itamae should be able to create sushi that has all of the rice grains facing the same direction.

Take your students on the famous bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka and inspire them in business and innovation. Try your hands at sushi-making and watch as your students are fascinated by the vending machines, anime-culture and the legend of the Samurai.

"For me personally, the highlight was coming away from the trip with everyone having tried to use Japanese and half the group crying (with happiness) at Sydney Airport having formed such wonderful bonds with the adults and other students on the trip.
