On the first day, we toured Kobe Gakuin University and learned a little about their pharmacies and pharmacists and we are looking forward to learning more as we attend some lectures. We were also warmly welcomed by faculties and students and afterwards, a few of the students took us around Sannomiya to shop, sightsee, and try new foods. At the end of the day, we attended the Hanabi (fireworks) festival, which was very beautiful and not like any other firework festival/show we have seen before!
On the second day, we went sightseeing in Nara, where we were greeted into the city by a crowd of deers and had the opportunity to pet and feed them. In Nara, we visited the Todaiji Temple where Japan's largest bronze statue of Buddha stood.
On the third day, we traveled to Osaka where we shopped around Daimaru. We discovered puffy cheesecakes and various unique flavors of KitKat, such as wasabi, butter, yam, apple, and sake. We then met up with Osaka University faculties and students at the Pokemon Center for lunch and did some sightseeing at the Osaka Castle, which was very beautiful and grand. We were treated to lunch and dinner by the Osaka faculties, which was very delicious and kind of them! We greatly appreciated their hospitality!
We look forward to spending more time in this beautiful country and learning a lot more about pharmacy!
