    On February 15th, students from Okayama Unviersity visited Shizutani School and discovered why Okayama Prefecture is known as the “land of education.” flames in the forge, students discovered how patience, harmony, and respect for nature are deeply rooted in Japanese tradition. Just like forging a sword requires time, discipline, and balance \u2014 building our future also requires patience, unity, and understanding.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    In addition we also visited Amatsu Shrine and Fukushoji Temple and we learned about Budist and Shintoism religion and some of them got aa try with the fortune teller tickets !! THANKS to GODS and ANCESTORS all of them GOT THE BEST VIBES AND FORTUNE and charged their POSITIVE VIBES to keep on with their study and also for their “LIVING IN JAPAN ADVENTURE”.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
