The Maple Program students went on a 2-day trip from February 18~19 to Iga-Ueno and Ise-Shima in Mie Prefecture as part of their special seminar on Japanese Language and Culture.
The first day was spent at the Ninja Museum and Ueno Castle, after which they visited Futamigaura. They stayed at Toba Seaside Hotel that night, where they enjoyed having dinner in the grand hall in the hotel as well as relaxing in the onsen.
On the second day, the Maple Students experienced making pearl straps at Mikimoto Pearl Island, and the afternoon was spent touring the Ise Grand Shrine as well as strolling along Okage Yokocho, a quaint little village with old local shops and historic structures.
