Mask Japanese School trip in 2021
In the fall of 2021, school trips were conducted in Japanese schools under the backdrop of COVID-19 prevention measures. This school trip took an unusual form, with strict rules such as a complete ban on conversations during bus rides and meals, and continuous monitoring by teachers. As a result, there was a restriction on freedom. While some people consider this an exceptional arrangement, whether it can be called the traditional 'school trip' or not may depend on subjective judgment.
