Robotics, Engineering, and the Future of Cities in Japan
Our A+ Tour collection features exclusive educational programming and immersive experiences that you can only get through EF–they are rated exceptionally high by educators who travel with us.
Visit the island of Japan, where the technology fuelling the cities of tomorrow is on display today. Home to countless organizations specializing in robotics and engineering, and steeped in a proud culture of elegant craftsmanship, Japan is at the forefront of innovation in the areas of sustainability and human mobility. Witness wonders once confined to the vivid dreams of sci-fi writers: strap into high-speed, superconducting magnetic trains, wave a hearty hello to Asimo the robot, and marvel at the miracle of Hybrid Assistive Limb technology–with EF Tours, you'll see how the future is closer than you think.
