If you are an educator and would like to request a school visit for your class, please fill out the following School Visit Form and email it to infocul@bz.mofa.go.jp. When filling out the form, please specify if you would prefer a Zoom or in-person visit. Please note that all in-person school visit requests are subject to the availability of staff, travel distance, weather conditions, etc. and we are unable to guarantee you an in-person visit due to these conditions. If we are unable to fulfill an in-person school visit request, we will offer you a Zoom visit instead. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding in advance.
