With lots of hugs and tears, we sadly farewelled our Shinjo friends at the train station early this morning. Bound for Tokyo by the Shinkansen, we arrived at our beautiful hotel situated at Sunshine City in the Ikebukuro district. After some free time exploring the large shopping and entertainment complex, we ventured to Mazaria - a virtual reality gaming arcade. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing with and against each other in many different VR worlds.
Together with the students of Shinjo’s International Relations Committee, today we took a bus trip to the seaside town of Shonai located on the west coast of Japan. Here we visited a candle making store where we hand-painted our own candle. We then headed to the “Kamo Aquarium” located on Shonai Beach facing the Sea of Japan. This extraordinary aquarium is world famous for having the largest number of jellyfish exhibits. On return to Shinjo, we participated in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
