Kimi no High School: Marketing the Japanese Classroom Experience

from Marketing Talks · host Catherine and Tom

This describes an innovative tourism initiative called "Kimi no High School," which repurposes closed rural schools in Japan into immersive cultural attractions. By charging international visitors nearly 40,000 yen, the program transforms everyday classroom routines into a premium, monetized experience. The marketing strategy focuses on fans of anime and film who wish to step inside the nostalgic settings they have seen on screen. This project highlights a shift in value, where standard Japanese education becomes a bucket-list destination for foreigners seeking authenticity. It proves that reframing ordinary environments can create significant economic opportunities within the travel industry.
