We go on a welcome picnic every semester!!
We went to NARA by train since HANSHIN railway goes straight to Nara from this spring. 15 meters height of Huge Buddha welcomed us in a Todaiji temple, one of the World Heritage.After meeting the Buddha, we had a light trekking of Wakakusa-mountain and had a picnic with Obento(Lunch box). Then we had a time for [ ○×quiz ]to get to know KOBE and NARA. Students are excited for getting prizes of Kobe and Nara goods! They moved to ○and ×for pretty deer mobile phone strap. (Nara park is famous for deer.)Under the beautiful blue sky, we enjoyed the day in peaceful Nara. Can all of us communicate with friends in other classes?

Most of us fell a sleep in the train on a way back to Kobe. We really feel that it is great to connect the train directly to Nara and Kobe.

Time flies.
13 years has been passed since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake hit KOBE.
At 5:46 AM on January 17, 1995, a huge earthquake hit the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture and lasted for approximately 20 seconds. That is the "Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake"
Approximately 6,434 people (final estimate as of 2006), mainly in Kobe, lost their lives as a result of the earthquake.

A lot of people gathered to Higashi Park to remember victims of the earthquake and give a prayer. We, each class also went to the Higashi Park to do so after classes.
We would like to pass this fact and our feeling to the world through our students from all over the world.

The sky is high in autumn!!

This is for those who cannot go to school because of the work and would like to study only few hours a week. Shall we make an original lesson plans? We can discuss about date, time and what you learn.
