Japan has an excellent transportation system which makes such trips relatively easy. Within the cities the subways are commonly used. The schools also used chartered busses which seems to be the primary way of transporting the children. School busses are commonly used for field trips in America. This considerably reduces the cost of the trips because transport is such an important part of the cost of the trips. School busses are much less common in Japan, primarily because in densely populated Japan, most children walked to school. So many schools contracted with commercial bus companies to transport the children. It is very common in Japanrse parks and other tourist sites to see a parking lot full of besses chartered for school groups. This is usually thecase if any distance is involved. And travel by chartered bus makes it easier to keep the children together and supervise them. The busses are much more luxurious than school busses. We are not entirely sure how this is finzanced. We do not know if the school paid for it or the parents did. Nor do we know how under-privlidged children were handled.
