For the past three days I was a part of the Fukushima study tour. My university is in the Fukushima Prefecture and so I was eligible to apply for the trip. From Saturday morning until Monday night we traveled around Fukushima stopping at different locations, eating local food, and staying in inns at night.
Because we visited so many places, and there were so many things to see, I'll make posts to this blog in the next few days highlighting some of the things that we did.
One place that we stopped was an aquarium on the east coast of Japan that was damaged severely in the 2011 disaster.
We also saw a strawberry farm and a limestone cave with Christmas decorations.
One of the mornings, we woke up to see snow on the ground. This year has had very little snow so far, and so we were all excited to see it. Some of the students from Sri Lanka still haven't gotten to see a proper snowfall yet.
The trip was a lot of fun. I went on it with 5 other students from The University of Aizu, and so we got to do a lot of things together, as well as get to meet other Fukushima students. In the photo below are three other students from my university.
