Yesterday, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting a group of 14 to 17-year-old students and their teachers from France as part of their school trip!
We welcomed a total of 26 students split into two groups of 13, alongside their teachers. For both the students and teachers, this was their very first trip to Japan! Despite any language barriers, we all had an unforgettable time together.
Smiles and Kimonos!
When they found out they could try on traditional Japanese wear, everyone—both boys and girls—got super excited! Once they put on their favorite kimonos, the room filled with energy. They struck fun poses for photos and even filmed fun dancing videos together.
Engaging Hands-On Fun
Of course, they also dove right into traditional Japanese games like origami, kendama, and daruma otoshi. With so many hands-on activities to try, there wasn’t a single dull moment. Watching everyone focus on their crafts and cheer each other on was truly heartwarming. The one-hour session flew by in what felt like a heartbeat!
When it was time to leave, a few students even exclaimed, “Wait, is it time to go already?!” Hearing how much they wished they could stay longer meant the world to us.
Welcoming Group & Tour Bookings
We welcome individual guests as well as larger school groups, tour groups, and international travelers! Even if it’s your first time in Japan or you have concerns about language, rest assured—we are here to ensure a comfortable, welcoming, and memorable cultural experience for everyone.
A huge thank you to all 26 students and teachers from France for sharing such a wonderful time with us. We hope to see you in Japan again someday!
