1.What kind of driving schools have a good reputation?
Driving schools are promoting themselves with services other than training!
The biggest deciding factor in choosing a good driving school is the ``services other than training''. The content of the lessons is the same throughout the country, so it doesn't change much no matter where you choose. Therefore, Driving Camp attract trainees from all over the country by providing more services outside of training. Services here mainly refer to meals, accommodations, peripheral facilities, and events.

“Cheap” does not necessarily mean “popular”
Although it is often misunderstood, it cannot be said that a cheaper driving school is a popular school. The average price for Driving Camp is around 250,000 yen, but there are some cheap driving schools that offer it for less than 200,000 yen. However, if you participate at this price,
- It is low season
- to share a room
- Cook your own meals
Some degree of compromise will be required. Therefore, please be aware that if you only focus on price, you may not be able to have a satisfying training camp life.

What do reviews really mean?
[1] Reviews are just personal impressions
Reviews can be used as a reference, but they should not be taken at face value. Reviews are from people who actually attended the driving school, so you can get a more realistic picture of the situation. However, most people only visit a driving school once, so they cannot compare it with other schools, and their impressions are subjective. Also, many of the reviews are about instructors, but every school has strict and kind instructors, so it's best not to rely on these too much.
[2] Impressions about the service are helpful to some extent.
Of course, the points to pay particular attention to in reviews are the impressions regarding the lodging, meals, and surrounding environment. As mentioned at the beginning, driving schools create added value through services other than training. Especially in popular places, these services tend to receive high ratings.
"Instructor XX was great," "YY is mean!" "Academic classes are boring."
→Opinions about these types of lessons and instructors are pretty much the same at every school, so they're not very helpful.
"The food at XX Driving School is delicious!" "The accommodations at XX were comfortable!"
→If there are many positive reviews about the training facilities and food, it is likely to be a popular driving school.
Still, reviews are subjective, so it's best to use them as a basis for making decisions.
