We have just checked out of our accommodations for the last 3 days. The students left their rooms lean and tidy.  One student even left a thank you letter to the hotel staff.  

 I would like to say a special thank-you to the staff of Mitsui Bekkan Ryokan. It is a challenge to make meals for 120 people and have the food healthy, taste, and the appropriate temperatures, but they were able to that with grace with what seemed like a very small group of staff. .

Thank you especially for providing meals for our students with dietary restrictions.

Thank you and we look forward to our stay next year when we go for the seaside swimming school.
