I can’t believe our trip to Japan is almost over! This has been one of the fastest and most eventful weeks I have had, and I want to reflect on my favorite things we did.
During this past week we’ve gone to many different places like the Todaji temple in Nara, Osaka castle in Osaka, a fish market in Akashi, and an onsen at Arima. We even got to wear yukatas and eat takoyaki with our pen pals at the university! Yesterday was particularly exciting because we went to several different temples and shrines in the Kyoto area like the Golden Pavilion temple, Kiyomizu-dera, and Fushimi Inari-taisha. These were some of my favorite sights to see, and I feel like they really represented the beautiful country.
Today we are visiting Hiroshima. I am excited to learn more about the history of the area and am humbled to visit such a historical location. As we visit the memorial park, I hope to understand the culture a little bit better before we depart.
It is bitter sweet that this trip is coming to an end, but I know that I will come back to Japan to show my family the culture and beauty of this wonderful country!
