What you can expect

  • Begin your tour by meeting your guide and getting on your bike. Ride through the town, passing by wooden school buildings and historical landmarks. Feel the wind on your face as you take in the town's scenery, filled with everyday moments you might miss on foot. Along the way, you can also try riding “two-up” Japanese style (one person sitting on the back of the bicycle), recreating a nostalgic high-school moment often seen in Japanese youth culture. It makes for a fun and memorable photo.

    Listen to the guide's personal confession stories. From the words spoken to a crush whose face was half-hidden by the setting sun streaming through the ground floor of the school building after classes, to the confession exchanged in a classroom alone together during cultural festival preparations when no one else was around. These real-life experiences offer deep insight into Japan's unique confession culture.

    Opt to wear a school uniform, like a sailor suit or gakuran, to fully immerse yourself in the youthful atmosphere. It’s also a great photo opportunity.

    Next, head to a wooden school building for a special music class. Listen to iconic Japanese love songs and learn how confession culture has evolved over the years. Compare these songs to those of contemporary Western artists to discuss cultural differences in relationships.

    After the class, take photos in your school uniform, capturing the essence of Japanese youth against the backdrop of the old school. You can also take photos on the nostalgic schoolyard swing, recreating scenes that feel straight out of a Japanese youth drama.

    Finally, ride to the beautiful bridge, Japan's longest wooden bridge, known for its romantic legend. Stand on the bridge, surrounded by stunning views of Mt. Iwaki and the countryside, and shout your feelings into the open air. Whether it’s a message to a loved one, words you’ve never been able to say, or a simple cry of freedom, let your voice carry across the water.
