We loved our trip to Japan this summer! Andrew enjoyed his experience at Asahigaoka High School in Sapporo and staying with Tom Shirahata and his family. Andrew felt very comfortable and welcomed in their home. We are looking forward to having Tom stay with us in January along with our other son, Dan(22), who will be home from college.
As a family, we toured Tokyo for four days, then Andrew joined the HIES group. The three of us then visited Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Hiroshima. We were impressed with the cleanliness of each city and how everyone was very respectful and welcoming. The Sumo Wrestling Tournament in Nagoya was an exciting and interesting Japanese sport! The whole trip was just wonderful and we hope to visit Japan again.
We hope to make this experience as rewarding for Tom and the other students as they did for Andrew and the HIES group!
