Support tour day 2. We planned to wake up at 8:00 AM, but some children woke up at 4:00 AM, perhaps because their excitement hadn't settled!?
During breakfast, the children became more active in communicating and were excitedly talking about the previous day.
After breakfast, there was time to stroll around the area near Kiyomizu Temple and look for souvenirs. The kids seemed to really enjoy tasting the Yatsuhashi, and most of them ended up buying some.
Some children bought keychains again, and others chose souvenirs for their families, thinking carefully by themselves.
Next, we will visit Amakundou East Store, our experiential learning site.
This activity is "Japanese sweets making".
Experience making Japanese sweets shaped like peonies and azaleas.
They listened carefully to their mentor (teacher) and were passionately making traditional Japanese sweets.
The finished Japanese sweets, peony, were taken home, and the azalea sweets were enjoyed on the spot.
Finally, everyone watched the master making traditional Japanese sweets, and the children were excited, saying "Amazing!!" at the master's craftsmanship! At the end, we took a group photo with the master in front of the shop.
After the experience, everyone has lunch along the Kamogawa River.
After finishing their lunch boxes, we took a moment for the children to quietly feel the Kamogawa River for one minute.
We also heard comments from the children such as "The breeze feels nice" and "The sound of the river is soothing."
As the cheering tour gradually came to an end, the children, feeling a bit sad, walked while gazing at the streets of Kyoto, saying, "Are we going home already?"
Upon arriving at Tokyo Station, some children appeared sad, and they were calling out to each other, saying "Let's meet again." Over the two days, the children were able to have many valuable experiences, not only in soccer but in various other activities as well.
Let's use this experience as a foundation and continue to grow together!
And let's meet again on the away support tour!!!
