Since flying across from Korea we have visited 3 World Heritage Sites - Hiroshima Genbaku Dome (Atomic Bomb Site) and Miyajima Island in Hiroshima and Nijo Castle in Kyoto. In Hiroshima our student leader, Riley Price said a prayer at the Peace Park for all the people who died as a result of the Atomic Bomb in WWII. Also in Kyoto we visited the very impressive Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji) It's beauty was enhanced by the perfect weather.
The students have spent the weekend with their Japanese host families and have no doubt had a great time. We are having the welcome ceremony tomorrow at our sister school Shinano Junior High School.
Check out the photos of Japan so far.
