The Consulate-General of Japan in Brisbane offers a School Visit Program, an exciting opportunity for students to learn more about Japanese culture and language at our office in Brisbane. Our Cultural Section has an extensive collection of cultural items, including traditional clothes, toys and plastic food moulds, which give students a hands-on insight into the many facets of Japan.

Topics for school visits include (but are not limited to):

• Careers using Japanese language
• Japanese food
• Children’s games and toys
• Traditional arts and crafts (music, origami)
• Traditional clothing and contemporary fashion
• School life
• Daily life in Japan
• Youth culture

Please note that we may not be able to meet requests for talks on highly specialised fields. These may be referred to organisations of expertise in that area.

  

Applications for groups to visit our office are welcome from schools Queensland-wide.
Spaces are limited. Please send us your application early to avoid disappointment.

N.B. There is a maximum of 30 students per class group due to room capacity.
