In This Season of the Japanese Academy…

    On the opening day, we were welcomed to the Governor’s Japanese Academy. After getting cleared from the COVID test, we unloaded and got our first taste of dorm life. After the opening ceremony, the time came to part ways with our parents. Oh, parting is such sweet sorrow! We divided into six different groups called Chihous, which are named after different regions of Japan. And so the fun began.
