Day in the Life of a Japanese Wagyu High School Student
A day in the life of a Japanese High School Student in Kagoshima. This is the Japanese High school Student’s morning routine, day at school, after school activities and night routine. This is his life in Japan in the countryside. He attends Soo High School, a Japanese public school nestled in Kagoshima’s tranquil and open countryside. In addition to standardized courses this Japanese high school offers five specialized academic programs. Soma, now a senior, has been enrolled in their concentrated Livestock Food Agriculture program, specializing in raising Japanese cattle, wagyu. Though relatively small in Japan, with around 360 students and 60 dedicated teachers, this school is a vibrant, laughter-filled community where friendships and dreams grow hand in hand. In Japan, students are assigned to groups with each group having their own homeroom where they spend most of their days. Teachers will visit this homeroom class to teach their specific subject, except for some elective classes like PE or farming which require different facilities. Naturally, students in the same homeroom class form closer bonds as they end up spending much of their day as well as year together.
The term “Wagyu” refers to four specific breeds of Japanese cattle, with black-haired Wagyu making up 95% of them. And Kagoshima alone produces 20% of the nation’s black-haired Wagyu, celebrated for its unique tenderness, balanced marbling, and unmistakably rich flavor.
In fact, Kagoshima farmers have perfected their techniques to a point where they can produce the highest-quality A5 Wagyu beef, 50% of the time.

thats interesting! I grew up in a small farming town out in the PNW and know its not common anymore but When I was in high school we had a class that we raised animals. It was tied to future farmers of America. I loved going and seeing the pigs and sheep! We didn't raise cows sadly.
Awesome video!
what a beautiful farm house
Teeth are looking nice! Toothpaste sponsor coming soon?
As a pharmacist in the US, I would like to see one of your videos on a day of a life of a Japanese pharmacist.
This is now my favorite Day in the Life, Paolo!
I need the Japanese discipline up here to the Netherlands children up here is way diffrend it will shock u. Pealse if u visited the Netherlands one day Im your man I know everything in the Netherlands. I'm very pleased to welkom you here
I love these day in the life videos, especially the ones like this that are highly specific/specialized fields.
Soma seems like an industrious young man and he definitely has a bright future ahead of him in the wagyu industry!
Nothing but the highest grade Wagyu students there!
I really enjoyed this video Paolo! Thanks!
This brings me many happy memories – I was a teacher in Kagoshima at a junior women’s college many years ago – we had specialised courses too – for English, nursing and nutrition! I always appreciated how thoughtful, kind and fun my students were and hope their hard work then has made them successful and happy now 😊 also, Soma’s mum is a legend!
The strong jaw on that maths teacher, maybe i watch too much anime but i suspect he's secretly a undercover hero at the high school lol
His dad looks like a good man, nice to see him smiling so earnestly!
Please do a barber shop next! Pick a fancy one! Thank you.
Did Paolo get sent to the principal's office for talking in class so often that he has a sense of where the principal's office is in any school?
This was a great video. Nice to see a different kind of japanese school life than what we see in dramas lol. It was funny seeing his reactions after you asked if he had a crush lol.
800 kilo cow? That's like trying to move a small car.
Gin no saji be like
USA schools should follow this regimen.
Please bring more videos like this😊
OMG!!!!! Gin no Saji is real !
😮😮😮 Silver spoon!!!!!! 🎉 love it.
I wonder if that one student whose dream is to motorcycle across Japan has seen Abroad in Japan's video of him biking across Japan with a few others
This video made me regret not joining my local 4H club growing up. 4H is kinda like the after-school club Soma does in the USA
Everytime I watch your videos it makes me thankful that I was not born in Japan. Their strict culture and insane expectations turn these people into robots.
Thank you for the video. These are always your best work!!!
All these kids are so passionate about their school lives and their interests. They're so sweet, I hope the best for them!
his sister is beautiful
I really loved this one. Soma and his family are so sweet.
That spider shot gave me a heart attack.
More diverse student population is code for Japan allowing more foreigners into the country, mostly from 3rd world countries. That's why their crime rate has been going up and the streets are dirtier.
When can we eat Soma? Lol
As an American, primarily living in the heartland of thr US (Kansas) seeing Soma and his classmates take to farming and cattle makes my heart happy.
I took 4-H and FFA, so theres a soft spot for Agriculture. Needless to say, I'm planning a trip to Japan and id love to see some farms out there. They work so hard just like we do, and they're so proud! You definitely see it in their life and work.
Such a sweet guy i wish he would live in my neighbourhood so we could be friends.
Love this! I hope more high schools give you permission too, I'd love to see more of these!
Love your videos they are so interesting to learn about a different culture
absolutely loved this episode, what an awesome family.
I hope you make an update video about him and his farm after 5 years.
Poor kiddo….I know that cystic acne must really hurt. Too bad isotretinoin is illegal in Japan…it would have changed his life. Braces as well.
I thought this was a highschool specifically for beef and then I saw this kid pull his sleeping bag off his inflatable mattress revealing this kid slept in his work clothes
Nice Video, could you please do a day in a life video of an Exchange Student living in Japan
This one was one of my favorites!
Can you do a video of life of student in automotive school in Japan .
I think Soma's sister is cute 🙂 20:53
One word: W H O L E S O M E.
I thought those students were going to graduate to become wagyus…
