Oooh...staged school trip. That sounds like fun.

Hmmm...for 22000 yen I can probably pick up two dakimakura and sleep with that instead. No fuss, no muss. Laughing

Two years ago, 115 females applied for 20 spots. I don't think they would be holding this event consecutively and increase the price significantly for female applicants if women weren't attending.

This year, entry fee is down to a measly 500 yen. Laughing

The place there going is very close to here... it's a LONG bus ride from Saitama to Urabandai though. At least a couple hours.

Likely yes, but will they be considered attractive to these men? Million dollar question here.

I remember my last school trip, it was during the time I was in the 6th grade. Had a bus ride take us there, looked at trees/bushes along the way, had to write a journal before going to sleep at 7:30 PM and wake up at 6 AM. The most excitement I had was looking at the sky during my school's hike up a mountain.

Yep, just as soon as someone unloads them from the back of the truck and fluffs them up to look good.

So it's similar to a build a bear workshop almost.
