School field trip: Annariina's web post
Annariina here;
On Thursday December 13 we went to Sophia library and walked around Nihonbashi. The last place where we went on our trip was the old Imperial grounds. The place itself includes parks and old buildings and also remaining of the old castle. We walked around and went to see the place where the story of the 47 ronin happened.
There was other stuff, like how the entrance was built to trap unwanted visitors, which we had studied during our Japanese history lessons, which were interesting to see. The place was really beautiful, because of all the fall colours on the leaves of trees. It was also a peaceful place although we were in the middle of Tokyo.
