Question 1

Getting to school

Answer 1

Most students walk, don’t drive you need to be 18, often in groups in big cities because of crimes. Middle and High schools pretty far away so buses and trains are needed sometimes. Elementary schools close and most enroll in closest schools. No school based bus systems.

Question 2

Children going by themselves

Answer 2

Children traveling by themselves is not rare and is often done to carry out deeds, take trains themselves, etc. It’s part of the culture, and is carried out because of japan’s super low crime rate. There are also stranger alert systems, and crossing guards for the kids to carry this out further.
