NILS students taking short term program visited Yusentei Koen Park to enjoy traditional Japanese garden and tea ceremony.  Even Japanese people don’t experience tea ceremony so often, so it must be a good opportunity for our students.

“We visited Yusentei Koen to see a beautiful traditional Japanese Garden.  Visiting Japanese Gardens was not the first time.  I have been to Japanese gardens in Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo and at home in Vancouver. Regardless I always love visiting them.  (Regarding tea ceremony) I love Matcha (Japanese green tea) and find tea ceremony relaxing, so I enjoyed it a lot.  It was nice to have Hirose Sensei there as she knew tea ceremony so well.”  —Maksym-san, from Canada

“We went to the Yusentei Park and had traditional Japanese tea while looking at gorgeous Japanese garden.  We also fed a lot of fish which lives in the park’s pond.  It wasn’t my first time to visit Japanese gardens, but the fact that we got to enjoy tea and feed some fish was unique.  It is a nice place to sit for a while and enjoy a cup of tea.”  —Marek-san, from Canada.

We are so happy that all of our students learning Japanese at NILS enjoy every week’s activity here in Fukuoka!
