Third Grade Rambles Through Japan
Fifteen students from the 3rd B class (GYM3B) of our high school embarked on an unforgettable trip to Japan from February 28 to March 9, 2025. During their six nights in Tokyo and three in Kyoto, the students had a unique opportunity to experience the fascinating blend of modern technology and the rich culture of this Asian country.
In Tokyo, they visited significant places such as Kawasaki Robospace, the Museum of Emerging Science, and the Maglev Museum, where they explored the latest technological innovations. The cultural aspect of the trip was enriched by visits to landmarks like the Meiji Jingu Shrine, the Inari Shrine, and several Buddhist temples. This trip not only provided our students with valuable educational experiences but also gave them a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and traditions, leaving them with unforgettable memories and valuable insights.
