Tokyo Seasonal School
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
"A full week in the forest, shaped by the season.
Children don't just visit nature here, they settle into it. That's why we run a full Monday-Friday week: time to relax into the forest, build real friendships with the group, and go deeper with each passing day.
In small groups, 100% outdoors, children climb, build, create, observe, and solve problems on their own terms, discovering the natural world as the season changes around them."
BBQ Day
Once a week, the children run the kitchen. They plan the menu, build the fire, prep the food, and cook it themselves from start to finish. Real fire, real responsibility, and a lunch they're proud of.

- Where We GoOur location changes with the season and the weather. Over the term, children might explore satoyama rice paddies, hilly mountain trails, deep woods, or wide rivers and waterfalls, surrounded by the plants and animals living there.
We share the tentative location for each week one week ahead, so you know what to expect and can dress your child for it. Because the weather heavily influences plans, the schedule can change. If conditions aren't safe or suitable, we'll move to a better spot and notify you.
Drop-off and pick-up stay at the same meeting point every day, wherever we head from there.
