They have 3 semesters : The first term starts from April and finishes in July. Summer vacation starts from late July to end of Aug (it depends on the schools, but they usually have summer vacation for 1 month and 1 week or so. private school have longer vacation than public schools). The second term starts from September and finishes in late Dec (sometime around Christmas season), then they have winter break for about 2 weeks. The third term starts in the beginning of January till late March. They will have spring break for about 2 weeks.

School year starts in April in Japan. We have 3 semesters. Roughly, semester 1: April 7 to July 15 semester 2: September 1 to December 15 semester 3: January 7 to March 20

It depends each high, but mostly speakingk they have 3 semesters, not two. Either three or two semesters, School year starts April and ends March, usually. Some exception like Jan to Dec also exist there though. So you can not simplify it. In general, the posters advanced are correct anyway.

School here start in April and end in March of the following year. School year is usually divided into three terms. First Term: April - July Opening Ceremony (Shigyou shiki) April. This is a ceremony where students gather to mark the start of the new school year. End of Semester Ceremony (Shuugyou shiki) July This is a ceremony to declare the end of the first semester. Summer Holiday (Natsu Yasumi) End of July to End of August This is a long break of 30-40 days. Students may be able to join clubs and participate in special school activities. Second Term: September - December Shigyou shiki - (September.) this is a ceremony where students gather to mark the start of the second term. Shuugyou shiki (December) Winter Holiday (Fuyu yasumi) End of December to the beginning of January (relatively short holiday of about two weeks. Third Term: January to March Shigyou shiki (January) Graduation Ceremony (sotsugyou shiki) March - This is a cermony to congratulate students on their graduation from the final grade. End of the Year Ceremony (Shuuryou shiki) March.- this is a ceremony not only to declare the end of third semester, but also the end of the entire school year. Spring Holiday (Haru Yasumi) End of March - Beginning of April. Lot of activities for students during semesters but a lot of explanation is needed.And what do you mean by highschool? Junior highschool or Senior Highschool? After graduating elementary education, we enter junior highschool for 3 years, then, senior high school. And then universities (daigaku) or two-year colleges (tandai) or Vocational colleges (senmongakkou)

Well, I'm not sure about International school but my high school I'm attending which is in Tokyo, Kita-ku, has an international department and you can graduate there and get into high ranked universities. The problem is, I think if you are to graduate from a high school in Japan, you need to have at least 3 years of Japanese high school education in order to apply for a university (I have to do that even though my Japanese is fluent but I came from USA) I can give you the site if you are interested... Just contact me at sakuramiyakawa@gmail.com ^_^

Where do you visit excluding Tokyo if you go to Japan to go sightseeing

Where do you visit excluding Tokyo if you go to Japan to go sightseeing?
I'm a junior high school student in Japan. It questioned like this because it had been interested in the foreign country. Oppositely, if I go to the United States to go sightseeing, I want to visit Los Angeles, Miami, and Hollywood. Please teach!

I really enjoyed the Hiroshima Peace Park. It's beautiful and very restful.
2 :
If you are interested in japanese culture, you should go to "Kyoto" and "Nara". because there are many famous temples,such as Horyu-ji temple and Yakushi-ji temple. If you want to have delicious japanese food, I strongly advise you to go to Osaka or Hokkaido.(Osaka is called "kuidaore no machi" meaning "a town where there are so many delicious food that you'll eat far too much.) In Osaka you can eat "tako-yaki", "okonomi-yaki"etc... In Hokkaido you will have delicious seafood. i think you'd better go to Osaka after you finished sightseeing in Kyoto and Nara,because Osaka is next to Kyoto and you can go to Osaka by train. hope this helps.

Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Osaka, Sapporo....

lol at tkm (I think this person is also a native japanese). For me: Osaka Nara Kyoto Hiroshima Mt. Fuji Nagoya Himeji Nikko Kamakura Yokohama and that pretty much does it. I have not heard the best things about Hokkaido, and have never heard from a seasoned traveler that it is especially splendid. Mostly, japanese people are the ones who tell me how great it is, japanese people who have not seen a lot of the world tell me this, not other travelers. Same with Okinawa, there are better beaches in the world than in Japan, so i would rather not.

I would look for festivals. Every town has festivals unique to that town and they are like their own Forth of July. I was in Kofu during their festival day and there were like 15,000 people dressed up in Samurai garb reinacting the most famous battle the town had. It is something like the Civil War folks in the US who recreate battles. Definitely check out some of the big castles. In Kyoto you should see Nijo jo and then there are great castles in Nagoya and Himeji. Himeji is considered to be the best castle in the country.
7 :
You say you like Los Angeles, Miami, and Hollywood? If that's the type of place you like, outside of Tokyo perhaps you'd like Osaka and Fukuoka. Generally Kyoto is the second best place to go, but it is home to many of Japan's historical and cultural sites. Are you interested in that sort of thing? The cities you've mentioned are big on shopping and excess. Miami has famous beaches...

I luv going to japan! I have tons of relatives there so i go a lot! here are some fun things to see Kyoto-for beautiful temples and the occasional geisha! Hemeiji- to see hemeiji castle Nara- if u go here then u should see the deer park hope this helps!
