Good evening,

Day three of the school trip for group 1 was a long one. We started the day by racing the weather to Kurobe Dam. The views were amazing, the tunnels were awe inspiring, and the rain came just as we left the building.

After lunch at the wasabi farm, we drove through the storm to the Tomioka silk factory, something our students have studied before. Our friendly guides explained about the influence of the French, and how Japan eventually became the leading producer of silk.

In the evening we arrived in the heart of Tokyo and saw all the bright lights. After a filling dinner, we are now settling into our stay at the Olympic Center. It is quiet and peaceful outside, with many trees, which is amazing since we are in the middle of the biggest city in the world.

Here are a few pictures from our day. Tomorrow is another full one, so see you tomorrow night!
