Thank you for everything Mr Fukushimajust automatically get on trains, ride Shinkansens, eat the food given to them, borrow rooms for prayers, without thinking twice about these things. Mr Fukushima said that schools plan and make School Trip Reservation 12 to 18 months in advance. They need to do this very early to book buses, trains, restaurants, museums, and several other things that I can’t even imagine, so that everything works perfect like a well oiled machine. The logistics of it all is just amazing. Thank you Mr Fukushima. -- 亮(ryo) Thank you Mr Gen!Swimming Camps, Outdoor Education Camps, and 6th Grade School Trips several times a year. The has been doing this for over 30 years. His knowledge of the routes and activities make him a priceless asset to the city of Ikeda. He would take photographs of the students, but then suddenly appear a hundred meters ahead of us! I’m pretty sure there are three of him or he uses a Dokodemo Door. We relied on him not only for world class photographs, but for advice and help for the last 3 days. Thank you so much Photographer Gen. -- 亮(ryo) Scenes from the ShinkansenYamaguchi.

The students seem so much quieter on the Shinkansen than just 3 days ago. I’m sure all of the students are looking forward to a home cooked meal and a warm bath at home. I want to take this time to thank our fabulous bus drivers for driving us hundreds of kilometers and delivering us safely to our various destinations. Thank you so much. -- 亮(ryo) Ice Cream and History亮(ryo) Lunch time-- 亮(ryo) Artists worksThe following is Mr Gen’s beautifully written calligraphy of, “thanks”. -- 亮(ryo) Our Hagi Cupscups look wonderful. -- 亮(ryo) A bit of history about Hagi WaresTerumoto Mori for tea ceremonies and as gifts for his guests.

Hagi is also known for their citrus fruit so the students may purchase summer orange drinks and summer orange ice cream. -- 亮(ryo) Great Teacherslearn about in school. I was so impressed that the teachers could explained several memorials - the teachers do so much work before and during the trip to be able to teach the students in a safe and entertaining way. The teachers at Ikeda ES have planned and worked so much for this school trip. I am simply amazed as I just follow along. -- 亮(ryo) Shoin Shrineenshrines Yoshida Shoin, an important figure from Hagi <https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6150.html> who inspired revolutionary ideas during the twilight years of Japan's feudal age <https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2128.html> (mid 1800s). Mr Yoshida Shoin advocated learning from the west and the restoration of power to the emperor <https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2135.html>, thereby openly challenging the ruling shogunate <https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2128.html>. Although he did not live to see the Meiji Restoration <https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2130.html> (1868), many of his students were pioneers of the creation of modern Japan, and he is regarded by many as a patriot who sacrificed himself for the good of his country. -- 亮(ryo) Breakfast Time!to do today before heading back to Osaka -- 亮(ryo) Rise and Shine!The students were very quiet last night as our day was full of activities(my pedometer counted over 17,000 steps!). Today, we have several cultural and historical activities planned. But, now, it’s time to wake up, (before the sunrise in Yamaguchi). -- 亮(ryo) Bath Timethe giant baths. Children too enjoy bathing in a huge bath. Today, the students are treated to 30 minutes of bath Time per class. One bonus for us is that the hotel has kept two baths for only Ikesho students.
