I really did the love the Japanese exchange. It was a great experience, I think we got a really good feel for the diversity of Japan( modern/traditional). It has always been my dream to go to Japan.
Josh Wilson:
I personally found the Japanese exchange to be a wondrous and enlightening experience, I personally found Hiroshima to be the best day in terms of culture; this is tied with Nikko!
McKenzie Collins:
This trip will definitely be one of my fondest memories. Although Akihabara was one of, if not the favourite day of mine due to my prior desire to visit it, Nikko Edo Wonderland was surprisingly good. For someone with only knowledge of the modern part of Japan, exploring its past was far more interesting than expected. The atmosphere in Nikko (and generally everywhere, but Nikko in particular) was relaxing and the people were very kind.
Both Mr. Bulmer and Miss Horsfall did a great job of organising and adapting to our needs and desires, to the point where I'm sure it was incredibly frustrating. A huge thank you to them both, and to Mrs. Watanabe for assisting with the preparation and translation.

I have enjoyed my visit to Japan. We have seen examples of both modern, and old-fashioned Japan. My favourite part modern Japan was going to sega world, because we were able experience rides,technology and machines that you wouldn't get in our country, because we are not as far forward in technology as Japan is.
My favourite part of old Japan was visiting the little village in Nikko, because the houses had so much detail and they looked incredibly, stunningly beautiful. Thank you to Mr Bulmer and Miss Horsfall for putting up with me for 10 days.
Thank you to Mrs. Watanabe for helping to organise the activities on the trip, and thank you to the amazing and entertaining Ishigami high school students and teachers.
Josh Breeze:
I have enjoyed my time in Japan. I especially liked the days in Hiroshima and Nikko, I liked this the best as it showed us the culture side of Japan that has survived so long. I also enjoyed our time in Tokyo, this showed us the modern side of Japan. Thank you to Mr Bulmer, Miss Horsfall and Mrs Watanabe.
Ollie Bennett:
I have enjoyed my time in Japan. My favourite part of Japan was the electric city and the visit to Hiroshima. We learnt lots about the Japanese culture. Thank you to Mrs. Watanabe for teaching me some basic Japanese and helping to plan the trip and I would also like to thank Mr Bulmer Miss Horsfall for putting so much time and effort into the planning.
Brighdie Oliver:
Personally, my favourite part of the trip was the visit to Nikko to see our exchanges. We had a traditional Japanese meal and received gifts from our over seas friends. We then got to experience the hot springs, this was possibly my favourite part of the trip because I got to just sit back and relax with my friends. I also really enjoyed our visit to all the traditional Japanese temples, despite having to remove my dr martens every few minutes. Overall the trip has been an amazing success and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to join me on this short adventure.
Monet Page:
Japan has been amazing, it's something I'll never forget. There's a great balance between cultural and modern Japan, for example we visited lots of temples but we also went to Electric Town and Segaworld. I really enjoyed this trip, a huge part is making friends with the people you go with, I didn't know anyone who was going but when you spend 10 days with the same people you get close quickly. The food here was very different but enjoyable, it does take a few days to get used to it from English food. It's very relaxing here, quite laid back. Thanks so much to Miss Horsfall, Mr Bulmer and Mrs Watanabe for planning this amazing trip, it couldn't have been any better.
Holly Higlett:
Japan has been a great experience and the different culture has been very interesting and I have learnt lots. The food was different but it was nice to try something new. I've made friends with people who I didn't know before and probably wouldn't have if I hadn't gone on this trip. This experience has been something I will never forget, it's been amazing. Thank you to everyone who's made this possible.
