Lilah: It was super interesting taking so many different trains and walking around Japan, there's a lot of cool differences like how many people ride bikes! The Kura sushi was also delicious, I ate so much!!

Isabella: Making the samurai keychains was a little difficult but still found it really interesting. I LOVED Kura sushi. I had so much food for less money than at home. The quality was really good and I tried a lot of new dishes raw squid nirigiri.





Ben: Making the samurai keychains was awesome! Also, the tempura was super good at the sushi restaurant. Although, I may gave eaten way too much.

Chai: The Samurai making place was very cool to see! Everything was high quality and well made, but very expensive too. The Kura Sushi place was really fun and we ate way too much. We won some nice prizes and ordered some great food. I hope to do something like this again soon!





Bodhi: Making the keychains was fun but a little hard, but the end result was really worth it! Afterwards, we walked around Japan for a while and it was long but fun aswell. Kura sushi was a lot of fun and super filling for really cheap.

Kael: We went to a samurai factory and made a cool a key chain. We had to use the train system to get there. Then we went to a sushi restaurant and ate a lot.

Jianna: The work and craftsmanship behind the samurai keychains and armor was incredible, after trying to make them myself I could really appreciate how hard it is. The sushi was also delicious and especially the tempura and salmon roe was delectable! 




Emma: I loved taking the train and walking places together! The samurai keychains were hard but so fun to make and see finished in the end. The kura sushi was so fun and yummy!!

Txuj Ci: Making the keychains was very interesting and it looked really good even though mine is a little lopsided. Afterward we went to Kura Sushi which was cool and there were so many options! I personally really liked the Shrimp Tempura and Crab Croquette.

Mason: Today has been super fun! I really enjoyed seeing all of the Samurai armor, and getting to see more Japanese culture. Making the keychains was a lot of fun and mine turned out pretty good with some help. Kuru Kuru Sushi is the greatest thing that has happened to restaurants ever; so much good food for such a good price.






Karson: It was so much fun! I was looking forward to making the samurai Keychain for so long and it lived up to my expectations! I also was able to buy a card holder which I'm looking forward to using. The sushi place was very nice. I had lots of cake and tempura because I don't like sushi, but it they had lots of other stuff which was a relief!

Eric: The samurai keychains were kind of hard but they look really pretty! Kuru Sushi was super tasty too and we won the gacha at our table too! I also got a Kirby gacha capsule which was cool too!
