Introducing the Self-Catering Plan at Ichinomiya/Kochi Driving School! Have fun with friends! Be free on your own!

This time, we will introduce our school's popular plan, the Self-Catering Plan!
During your training camp, you will be living away from your familiar surroundings for about 1 to 2 weeks.
You may feel both anxious and excited, but
we will provide information to help you enjoy it even more✌🏻

What is the Self-Catering Plan?

This is a plan where you prepare your own meals using the kitchen facilities in your accommodation🍽️
Since you can freely control your meals during the training camp, it is recommended for those who want to save money or practice living alone!

Pros and Cons of the Self-Catering Plan

1. Pros

　①Save on food expenses!
　　You can keep costs down compared to plans with meals included✌🏻

　②Spend time without worrying about likes, dislikes, or allergies
　　Since it is not a set menu, you can enjoy it freely🎶

　③Eat at your own time without being tied to a schedule
　　Those who prefer a slow morning can rest easy. Convenience store food or simple cooking is also fine◎

2. Cons

　①Cooking and cleaning up after lessons can be tough💦
　　The trick is to make good use of simple retort pouches or frozen foods!

　②It takes effort to procure ingredients and seasonings
　　There is a "Gyomu Super" next to the driving school, so shopping is easy✌
　　There are also seasonings left behind by students who have already graduated,
　　so please let us know if you are interested!

　③It is difficult to cook multiple things at once with a single-burner IH stove😥
　　Using a microwave or kettle in combination is no problem!
