On this post, I feature my first ever trip without my family. On this ten-day travel, I explore the treasures of Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo along with my peers at NCSSM Morganton and Durham through J-Term. Immersing myself in this new culture has taught me a newfound sense of serenity through the appreciation of nature, as taught in the religion of Shinto. I thank my sponsors, EF tour guide, and NCSSM for this experience.
