My class is going to Japan and it's about 5,000 dollars, but I don't know how to raise so much money. Does anyone have any tips to help me out?

Get a group of friends and family large,yard sale,carwash(a lot of local business will let you use they lot and water for your cause. Yard work for neighbors,ask local business for a tax deduction contribution. Send out cards to family members with your intentions for this money along with a rsvp date for giving money!
You can have a play, bake or pizza sale or car wash.
Cool!! Best wishes with your quest.
This is a great way to learn about businesses and how they raise money!
My first suggestion is to start a Go Fund Me and ask all of your friends and family for help. I would do this along with having events (which you can detail in your Go Fund Me to show that you are actively seeking to raise money through other actions.
Is this $5000 for you or a group. If it is just you, that is going to take a lot of work. If it is a group, that may be easier.
Either way, I would offer services like raking leaves, pulling weeds, and cleaning out basements (and then getting permission to sell the junk you find at flea market), for example. If you know how to paint, small painting projects like porches or fences could be lucrative.
Another way to think about it, is to think about what you know and love. Do you draw? Sell your drawings. Do you sing? Offer concerts for a small entrance fee? Do you bake? Sell cookies or cupcakes at school football games or in other approved methods (be careful with this one as you don't want the health department to shut you down if there are rules in your town about this).
Do you love dogs? Walk dogs for a fee. Cats? Cat sit for a fee.
People will be generous if you explain why you are doing what you are doing so hopefully you will come up with your money quickly.
Post back with an update!
You do not say when this trip will happen or if this is just for one person, but, whatever it is, you are trying to raise a lot of money.
Most fund raising projects will never reach this goal so the only way this might work is to go to a fund raiser site and tell your story.
There are quite a few different sites for this type of project so you will have to do your own research to see which one may work best for you.
Check these out and tell your story - with pictures.
