Trends in training camp fees in February
The price range for single-leave lessons in early February will be approximately 360,000 to 410,000 yen. Some driving schools have prices below 300,000 yen, but when we checked availability for this article (as of October 11th), they were already full.
Spring is usually a full season. If you apply early, you can apply to popular driving schools. If you are considering applying in February, please apply by the end of October at the latest.
[2] Four points to note about the February Driving Camp
This is the time of the year when most students gather, and it is also the coldest time of the year. That's why it's more unique than other seasons. Here are four points to be especially careful about when obtaining Driving Camp in February.
(1) Applications for Driving Camp for students entering in February will begin in October!
See the graph above. The blue bar graph shows the percentage of remaining vacancies, and the red line graph shows the percentage of applications completed by month. First of all, the fees for Driving Camp for the spring season become available around September, six months in advance. As you can see from the red graph, about 30% of the people who will participate in February completed their application in October, and about 35% in November. Did you understand that this month's application is a speed game? By the way, the table explains that there are about 40% vacancies even in December, but when it comes to popular schools, they are flooded with applications as soon as they open, so they are almost sold out around December.
Therefore, the behavioral patterns of people who want to attend Driving Camp in February can be classified as follows:
You’re reading this article…
People from September to October
There are a lot of openings in February. There is a good chance that you will be able to attend the school you want to attend, so please complete your application once you can arrange your schedule.
People from November to December
This is the time when slots at popular schools are rapidly running out. If you decide to go in February around this time, consider multiple schools.
january person
It's fully booked nationwide. However, the slots for people who have canceled will start to increase around this time, so there are still plenty of chances to participate in February! If you're interested, please read the article below.
It's okay to apply at the last minute! How to apply even if Driving Camp is fully booked

(2) The minimum number of days may be longer than during the off-season.
If you enroll in February, the minimum number of days until graduation may be 1 to 4 days longer than in other months. (For Regular Automatic, the 13th⇒14th to 17th; for Regular Manual the 15th⇒16th to 19th) The driving school and instructors are fully mobilized in February, and they spend their days training every day. Please keep in mind that there is a limit to the number of applicants, so please keep in mind that the minimum number of days may be longer.
(3) Good news for high school students! Even if you start school in February, take advantage of the homecoming system for your graduation ceremony! !
In particular, if you are a third-year high school student who enrolled in February for Driving Camp, and are hesitant to apply due to school events such as graduation ceremonies, please make effective use of the temporary return home system.
As a general rule, Driving Camp prohibit students from returning home temporarily, but in unavoidable cases, students are allowed to return home temporarily at their own expense. However, in March there are many school events such as graduation ceremonies, and many students are unable to take the time they would like to. For such students, some schools have set up a system for returning home temporarily only for this spring season. (Some schools even cover the cost of travel for returning home temporarily.) High school students in particular should use this system to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event without any worries.
(4) No need to worry about snow in February!
Driving Camp in February, the influence of snow is okay! February is the month with the most snowfall throughout the year. Also, the area with the most snowfall is Yamagata Prefecture, the mecca for Driving Camp. How careful should we be? In fact, the heavy snowfall areas of Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokuriku, and San'in are well-prepared for snow removal and removal, so participants don't need to worry about it. People who want to be careful are those who are attending schools in the Tokyo metropolitan area or the Tokai area. Traffic in this area is easily affected by snow, so if there is heavy snow, lessons may be canceled or the stay may be postponed.
Even if you were thinking, ``My schedule doesn't work out,'' or ``I might be scared of snow,'' I hope you've found that the school is working hard to ensure that classes can go smoothly with a temporary return home system and snow countermeasures. If you would like to enroll in February, please contact the school or agent at least once!
