On December 8, the international department met at Keisei Narita station in Chiba prefecture, about 90 minutes from Tokyo just near Narita Airport. We hopped a bus for 15 minutes from the west side of JR Narita Station to a fascinating outdoor museum called Boso no Mura, where last summer's Japanese Experience 2010 students had also visited.


The property is quite large, being several recreated feudal farms connected by little villages which have different arts and crafts classes and products. There are also numerous ancient tomb hills covered in grass and tress that are many hundreds of years old.


While we spent half the day there, one could easily spend several days taking in all the activities. Simply walking around the whole property can't be done in a day since it is very large which makes it an ideal place to bring us city folk to see nature close up.

Afterward we walked a few kilometers in the nice sunshine to the local JR train station and caught a ride back to JR Narita, where the students went exploring through the stores and temples as old as those in Kyoto.
