Abstract

 This report considers the start of kaigai shugaku-ryoko (overseas school trips) in modern commercial schools.<br> The educational activity known as kaigai shugaku-ryoko started at local commercial schools of the Meiji period. Why did local commercial schools start these overseas trips? I focused on the commercial schools of Kumamoto and Hakodate to consider this problem.<br> There are two reasons why I focused on these two schools. The first reason is the relationship with the travel expenses. Both schools’ kaigai shugaku-ryoko were achieved through the strong support of the local business world. The second point is related to geographic location. Both schools were established in cities adjacent to harbors which were hubs of foreign trade. It is thought that these regions had reasons for sending the students of commercial schools abroad.<br> I analyzed the association between the regions’ awareness of issues to deal with and their kaigai shugaku-ryoko. As a result, the historic background of the beginning of kaigai shugaku-ryoko became clear.
