Our trip began in Nagoya Castle, and we could look around the beautiful gardens with a nice weather.
The visit to the Castle was awesome. Outside is amazing,
and inside is a littler representation of the real life of Japan in the past.

The study trip was a very enriching experience, both from a professional and personal aspect.
Thinking about the fact that how Japan get up in the face of natural disasters,
the country is more prepared to face them.
