Gesture & etiquette

Sit at eye level, lean slightly forward. When they name destinations, react with interested familiarity ('京都!いいですね'). Ask follow-up about food memories or notable temples — sensory details bring up rich stories.

修学旅行 (school trip) memories are vivid lifelong markers in Japan. Common Showa-era destinations: 京都/奈良 (most common for elementary/middle), 広島 (peace education), 東京 (rural-area schools visit the capital), 沖縄 (postwar reunification context). The respectful 'いらした/行かれた' honors their past. Listen for stories about classmates, food, the night at the ryokan.
