We're off to an exciting start in Ikebukuro, students first had free time to explore and eat amazing foods around Ikebukuro. After students ate their lunch we all meet up at sunshine city's Aquarium where students are handed out activity paper in which they had to find and write the names of the animals on the paper. While writing their activity sheet, students enjoyed looking at different sea animals like sea lions, penguins, turtles, and many more. students are also able to visit the largest Pokemon store in the world and the largest Gachapon(toys inside a capsule) store in the world. Before students go back to their homestays we all took a group picture in a Japanese photo both called purikura.
