school trips in Japan

school trips in Japan?
If the equivalent of 7th graders go on camping trips and 8th graders go on beach trips, do 10th graders (koukou first year, i think) go on any end of year trips AND/OR field trips?

Yes, they do. But it's not like 7th graders go to camping trips or 8th graders on beach. It depends on each school where to go, not depends on grade.
2 :
Annual official field trip is very popular in Japanese schools. Junior High 1st grade to 3rd grade there may go camping at beach or forest, social study tour for different cities(Kyoto or Nara or Tokyo etc.)/country(Korea or China etc.) and TDL maybe. It depends. It is not scheduled at the end of school year but usually in half-way of them.Some of them are day trip but mostly are two to three or more days group trip generally.

Yeah, they do go on school trips in the 10th grade. It depends on the school as to where they go; one school I visited, they went on a 2-day camping trip near the beginning of the school year (as sort of a bonding exercise). At a different school, they went on a day trip to a nearby water park in the summer.

i think with a student's visa (whether it's preollege or college student) you are never allowed to work (or only very few hours)...

What are some after school jobs for a 16 year old in Tokyo, Japan

What are some after school jobs for a 16 year old in Tokyo, Japan?
With a decent wage, enough to pay high school tuition. Its for a writing essay. Thank you. I've chosen a shop assistant/clerk at a florist shop, knowing that the part time wages are between 600Y to 973Y. Its safe to say that even on a 650Y wage, that it should be okay. I want to make it unconventional, thinking outside the box is always fun :)

Private high school tuition is so high that you can't pay it by doing normal jobs for 16 year olds. The only job could be showbiz or something. It's possible to pay public high school tuition which is about $1500 per year. But many schools are not allowing its students to work. Usually, they work at hamburger shops like McDonands or convenience stores like Seven Eleven.
2 :
Yeah, as long as your character is going to a public school. A private school, no. But I don't know of any high school students working to pay their way through high school, so the story may be a bit unrealistic.
