Kyoto and Osaka, Japan

The students completed the “Kyoto and Osaka Deep Learning Culture Study Tour” on 1st July.

During the five-day journey, the students visited famous landmarks in Osaka and Kyoto such as Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori, Kuromon Ichiba Market, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, Tsutenkaku Tower, and learned about the history of Osaka and its surroundings from places like the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, Kitano Ijinkan, and Expo ’70 Commemorative Park. The itinerary also included visits to Kawasaki World and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, providing an opportunity for the students to learn about the development of modern technology and infrastructure in Japan.

Additionally, they had the opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture by making wagashi (Japanese sweets), trying on yukata (casual summer kimono), strolling down Hanami-koji, visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and enjoying a chicken sumo hot pot.

This cultural study tour provided the students with an opportunity to deeply explore Japanese culture, and we hope that they were inspired to continue learning and exploring.
