Across Japan, One Experience at a Time 2026

On our journey to Japan, we covered many bustling locations. We started from the vibrant city of Tokyo to the distinct atmosphere of Nagoya and continued to the sustainably futuristic city of Osaka. Our adventure began in Tokyo, where the first day started with eager minds ready to explore the dazzling lights of the city. We began by visiting the Asakusa Sensoji Temple, drove through Ginza District, and passed Shibuya Crossing. At last, we went to Odaiba, where we proceeded to shop at Aqua City Mall. The highlight of the day was admiring the beautiful sunset alongside the iconic Statue of Liberty replica. We proudly completed nearly 14,000 steps during the visit.

The next day, were all excited to go to Disneyland. It was like a dream come true. We walked till our knees hurt, but we couldn’t care less. We were so engrossed in the parade that we completely lost track of time.

After that, we were fortunate enough to see Mt. Fuji and also experienced travelling on the bullet train to Nagoya. Later, we took part in the traditional tea ceremony and proceeded to see the great displays of technology at the Toyota Museum. The next day, we spent time in Osaka Castle with our cameras out, trying to capture every memory we could. Later, we visited Nara Deer Park, and we saw the well-cared-for deer playing amongst each other and even interacting with the visitors. We also took a number of photos in Arashiyama Bamboo Forest.

Finally, as our journey came to an end, we carried home not only overweight suitcases but also countless memories and lessons. Looking back on the journey, Japan taught us the meaning of Carpe Diem, which is “to seize every moment.” From its discipline and respect to its culture and innovation, every experience inspired us to explore, learn, and grow with curiosity and purpose.
