Bringing Takeno’s ocean and nature into the “
” classroom.
We welcome you to leave it all to us.
A journey of discovery created together with the community.
Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel supports various educational trips and nature camps.
We wholeheartedly support these programs so that children can deepen their bonds with friends while enjoying the rich natural surroundings of Tajima,
and gain valuable experiences.
“Taketan” is the first inquiry-based educational trip in the Kansai region produced through a collaboration between a hotel and the local community.
The possibilities for inquiry-based learning in Takeno are endless.
We offer customized plans tailored to your school group’s objectives, schedule, group size, and specific requests.
Please feel free to contact us for a consultation.
