Class field trip to Yokosuka Park
For the field trip that we all took recently at the Japanese language school in Higashi Nakano, we went to a beautiful park with many activities in Yokosuka. The experience started out with an early morning gathering at the language school, which was followed by an hour and a half bus ride to Yokosuka. Everyone was fairly tired, and you could see a lot of people hadn’t usually woken up that early normally! Almost everyone took the time to get some more rest for the day ahead.
Once we got to the park we were told we could enjoy all of the actives and attractions that included; kayaking, archery, and horse riding just to name a few. I enjoyed archery very much with the friends I had made at the school and the boat ride we all took was fantastic! Lunch time required us to get into groups and cook our lunch from the ingredients and food provided. These ingredients included; soba noodles, many different kinds of meat, peppers, and vegetables. The only problem we had with cooking as trying to keep the fire going from under our grill!
Lunch took a fair while to start, cook and then clean up but after lunch we were left to explore the park as much as possible before our departure at 3 o’clock. The small lake had many boats and kayaks , and as it was a sunny day, it was perfect for being out on a boat on a lake. Seeing everyone from school all in one lake was great to see! As time seemed to pass us by slowly, the reality was that 3 o’clock had come around so quickly many people were surprised the day had gone by so quickly. By the look on some peoples faces though suggested exhaustion had crept in. The combination of it being a hot day and everyone cooking; was the reason many people were tired. The bus ride back to Higashi Nakano took a little longer than coming because of the 5 o’clock rush hour.
The whole experience was very enjoyable and would love to go again some time.
Thanks to all the staff at Higashi Nakano Japanese Language School!
