Class Trip

Kevin: Cool!

Any series that takes place in a school, be it elementary, middle, high, or even kindergarten, will have at least one episode that takes place during a class trip. The destination can vary, but for day trips, it's usually educational and painfully boring (like a museum, a local historical landmark, or a cardboard box factory). Kyoto is one of the most common destinations for these in Japanese Media.

A whole episode Class Trip is a great change of scenery, and gives both an interesting place to cook up wacky hijinks and a watershed moment in romantic relationships between students. It's technically Not a Date, but it gives couples a chance to sneak off and go sightseeing by themselves. The travel itself can be a bit of an adventure, and once the class gets there, there are endless opportunities for Zany Schemes, illicit romance or mistaken assumptions that zany schemes and illicit romance are happening. It's an excellent time for a First Kiss to happen. Or for a lost Monster of the Week to attack.

• Like Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Despair's Last Resort takes place on a school trip for the 79th class of Hope's Peak Academy, which quickly becomes a killing game due to Monokuma's interference. Also like SDR2, the trip actually a simulation.

It's pointed out that among other things, the school doesn't usually go outside Japan on its trips, generally sticking to destinations such as Okinawa, Kyoto(which the cast of the previous fic visits in a side story) or Hokkaido.
• The students at Skyhold Academy go on these periodically. Unusually for the trope, the entire school goes; justified because, as explicitly stated in the first story, there are rarely more than a hundred students on the rolls at any one time.
• In the Ma Fille chapter "Field Trip", a fifth class from Sutton Park School^note a primary school in Dublin, Ireland visits the WVBA arena on a field trip. This trip inspires a young boy named Dragon (later revealed to be a young Aran Ryan) to take up boxing.

• Every book in The Magic School Bus series (as well as every episode of the animated series) revolves around a class trip.

Mr. Boynton gets ultimately permission to take his biology class down; Miss Brooks needs to rely on Loophole Abuse to join the others.

Tabletop Games

• The "Field Trip" adventure for Teenagers from Outer Space is all about a trip to a nearby observatory. As one would expect for TFOS, it devolves into a fight for the fate of the Earth.

Video Games

• Sadly Averted in Bully. That mission would've been sick.
• The Persona series:
  • Persona 3 features a four-day, three-night trip to Kyoto in the middle of November with both the junior and senior classes. The most notable part of this trip is the Hot Springs Episode Mini-Game, where you and the guys are "accidentally" caught in the spring when it changes over from guys-only to girls-only and have to avoid being caught and "Executed" by Mitsuru. It's stated that the trip was originally intended to be overseas, but the largely unpopular Classic Lit teacher demanded that the trip be in Japan. Also notable is that, despite how easily the game could have used it for an interesting location to fight a boss (simply have the trip scheduled for a full moon), it was avoided, and the trip takes place after all the Full Moon Shadows have been eliminated.

• Little Busters! has one as a very prominent plot point. To elaborate, the whole game is set in a virtual world created when the said trip gone horribly wrong.
• The Romance Game Class Trip Crush takes place during a six-day class trip involving the students of two different schools - the main character's all-girls school, and a neighboring all-boys school.

Unfortunately Monokuma shows up and makes the students kill one another and get away with it to leave the island. Ultimately subverted, as it turns out that the whole game actually takes place in a simulation.
• The Ensemble Stars! story Autumn Trip revolves around the second year students taking a trip to Kyoto. The plot centers around Yuzuru's worry about being away from his master, Tori, but it's also just an excuse to mash together characters from the two different classes among beautiful autumn backgrounds, wearing yukata in an inn, and of course some good old hot springs Fanservice.
