Due to the depreciation of the Japanese yen and rising fuel costs, the expenses for cross-border school trips have significantly increased, causing distress among parents in Japan. Some schools, like a public high school in Hiroshima Prefecture, are planning to switch destinations within Japan for these trips to reduce costs, with one case seeing a total fee nearing 400,000 yen, leading to concerns. The impacts of currency devaluation are prompting schools to reconsider overseas school trip locations, modifying them to local destinations within Japan.
