After graduating from university, you will be entering the workforce, so you may not be able to travel as easily as you did when you were a student. During the graduation season, many people plan a graduation trip to remember their last memories of their student days.
In order to choose a destination where you can make wonderful memories, you need to decide on your budget, timing, and length of stay. However, when planning a graduation trip, you may have questions such as, ``How much should I budget?'', ``When is the best time to go?'', ``How many nights should I stay?'', ``Are there any places in Japan that I can enjoy as much as overseas?'' You may have a lot of worries and questions, and it may be difficult to decide on a destination for your trip.
In this article, we will explain the budget, timing, number of people, and length of stay for university trips for university students based on the survey results. We will also introduce ways to go on a graduation trip at a good price, so please refer to it.
At the end of the article, we will also introduce recommended glamping facilities that are perfect for college students' graduation trips, so please look forward to it.

For seniors who actually went on graduation trips, you may be wondering what their budget was, where they went, and how they spent their time.For reference, the travel and leisure reservation platform Klook conducted a survey of 2022 students graduating in March 3 on the actual situation regarding graduation trips during the coronavirus pandemic. We will introduce various data such as budget and timing.
In response to the question "How much do you plan to budget for your graduation trip? If you are planning to do it several times, please tell us your total budget." 3%, and 5% said "36.8 yen or more but less than 5 yen".
It turns out that many people plan their graduation trip with a budget of 3 to 5 yen, and even if they do plan on a larger budget, many still plan for less than 7 yen. Some people go on graduation trips two or three times, so the budget for one trip will vary depending on whether you plan to go just once or multiple times.
Even if you're traveling with close friends, everyone's budget is different. Once you have decided on your graduation trip, let's all discuss the budget together.
The cost of your graduation trip will vary depending on your purpose, such as whether you want to enjoy sightseeing and shopping, or enjoy theme parks and activities. If everyone decides on a budget at the beginning, you can research according to your goals based on that budget, which increases the possibility of a fulfilling graduation trip that everyone will be satisfied with.
When asked, "How many people do you plan on going on your graduation trip? If you are going to have more than one, please tell us the maximum number of people." ” was 2%, and “17.6 to 3 people” was 4%.41.2% of the total answered that they were alone.
Graduation trips are sometimes the last chance to spend time with everyone, as they want to make the last memories of their student days, so it is clear that more people go with two or more close friends than on their own.
When asked, "Which destination are you planning on going on your graduation trip?", 19.1% said "Hokuriku/Tokai," 19.1% said "Osaka," and 17.6% said "Kyushu." 2.9% answered "overseas."
In response to the question "Which destination would you like to visit if it weren't for the coronavirus pandemic?" 33.3% said "Hokkaido," 26.7% said "Kyoto," and 26.7% said "Okinawa." At the time the survey was conducted, the coronavirus pandemic was still ongoing, and many people tended to choose domestic rather than overseas destinations or nearby areas that are easier to access as their graduation destination.
This year, as the coronavirus has moved to Category 5, the number of people traveling overseas has increased. However, some companies require pre-employment training, so it can be difficult to coordinate plans for long-term trips. For this reason, many people choose to travel domestically because it is easier to accommodate their schedules.
When asked, ``What kind of plans are you planning for your graduation trip?'' 44.1% said ``Gourmet food and walking around,'' 39.7% said ``Use of accommodations such as hotels and inns,'' and 38.2% said ``Theme parks and leisure activities.'' XNUMX% said "sightseeing at facilities, city attractions, etc."More and more people are enjoying local food and relaxing at their accommodations.
If the purpose of the trip is different, the satisfaction level of the graduation trip will drop significantly. Let's discuss a plan that everyone can enjoy.
Once everyone you're going with has decided on the budget and how to spend your graduation trip, the next thing to consider is the timing and number of nights you'll be staying.
Based on pre-coronavirus survey data from a travel agency, we answered frequently asked questions about university students' graduation travel dates and length of stay.
The top application periods for graduation trips were March at 3% and February at 21.3%. Many people seem to go after graduating from university and before joining the company in April.
Recently, the number of overseas travelers has increased again, and it has become difficult to make reservations during February and March, the graduation travel season, as it coincides with long holidays in other countries. Please plan and make reservations as early as possible.
The number one ranking for the application period for student trips overall was January with approximately 1% of the total, followed by February with 1% and third with July with 13.7%. You can plan your graduation trip smoothly by deciding on the destination, tour, plan, and accommodation and making reservations in January. If you are looking for a plan that includes airline tickets, Shinkansen tickets, etc., you may be eligible for early bird discounts if you book early, so you can enjoy your graduation trip at a great value. If you rent a car, you can also save money by taking advantage of early bird discounts.
When taking a tour, tour prices tend to be cheaper on weekdays and less popular departure dates, even in February and March. As you become a working adult, you will have fewer opportunities to spend your free time, so take advantage of these benefits wisely on your graduation trip.
Graduation trips are also the last chance to take advantage of student discounts. Many travel companies offer student discount plans for graduation trips, so be sure to check them out. There is a possibility that the cost will be much lower than your budget.
Part of the fun is thinking about how many nights we should spend on our graduation trip. If you think that you won't be able to see them much after graduation, you might want to go on a slightly longer schedule.
Looking at the data on length of stay, 3% of domestic travelers stayed for 35.8 days and 2% stayed for 27.7 days.When traveling overseas, 3% stay for 27.8 days and 4% stay for 26.3 days, which is a longer length of stay than when traveling domestically, taking into account travel time.
Also, when traveling domestically, there are cases where you go with different people, such as friends from your undergraduate school or friends from clubs.Therefore, some people may go on one long overnight trip, while others may go on multiple graduation trips for one night and two days.
The number of nights you stay will vary depending on the plans of the members traveling with you and the purpose of your trip. It is important to discuss a schedule that everyone can comfortably go to.
