A unique approach to IB learning- Kyoto Trip We have opportunities to appreciate the beauty of nature and explore the historical background of new places we visit.

We are exploring Kiyomizu-dera, one of the most celebrated temples in Japan. It was founded in the year 780 and became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994. It also provides a view of Kyoto. After that it is time to buy souvenirs from this amazing historical place!

Kindergarten students had fun roasting marshmallows. We also had hot cocoa to go with. We feel like winter is here!

We go to Arashiyama this morning. We enjoy the beauty of nature.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, where it feels like a different world because of the towering bamboo stalks. It is also one of the most photographed places in Kyoto. Glad it was not crowded during our visit!

Experiencing Toei Kyoto Studio Park! It is the only theme park in Japan where visitors can see period dramas being made live. It is modeled after the Edo period and is also a film set where movies have been produced. It is really a good place to experience old Japan!
