Comparing educational trips to remote islands and the main island, the density of experiences on Izena Island is by far the highest.

Time on a school trip is limited. How deeply can students learn and move their hearts during the short trip of a few days? It is the "density of the experience" that determines this. While the main island of Okinawa offers easy access and excellent facilities, Izena Island is by far the best in terms of "time spent interacting with people, experiencing culture, and being emotionally moved. Each event is rich and quiet, but it certainly leaves a lasting impression on the students. This is the reason why the Izena Island experience is chosen.

Travel to "digest" the schedule and
The difference between a journey that "builds" on a relationship

On the main island, school trips tend to be schedule-based, visiting sightseeing spots and hands-on facilities. They move according to the timetable and head to the next destination. While this is a meaningful experience, it inevitably limits the time available to deepen relationships. On Izena Island, the emphasis is on staying in one home, in one community, and "spending time in the same place with the same people. This difference creates the "depth" of the experience.

The "involvement" of each student is broad and deep.

On Izena Island, students naturally become a part of the daily routine and find their place in the relationship with their hosts.

I'm glad you helped me, and I'm glad you laughed."

One word like that gives me a sense that I am helping someone. Because I spend a lot of time involved, my words carry weight. That density definitely moves the students' hearts.

A quiet time when "nothing" turns into "unforgettable."

There are no fancy tourist facilities or bustling streets on Izena Island. But that is why there is time.

The small conversations at the table after dinner, the star-filled sky outside, the old island stories we tell as we wash the dishes.

Because of this "pause," something sinks into their hearts. In the quietness, students gradually reevaluate their own feelings and the existence of others.

In a short time, the 'miracle' of building relationships with people is happening.

Only two nights and three days. Even so, on the morning of the farewell, some students hold hands with their hosts and shed tears.

I'll be back." "Can I come alone next time?"

The reason we were able to build such a relationship in just a few days is because of the "density of facing the relationship. Each moment on Izena Island is an experience that reaches the heart. It is not sightseeing, it is not learning, it is the very connection between people.
