TREASURES OF JAPAN

This summer the New Jersey delegation of the People to People Student Ambassador Program will be traveling to Japan.

The student travel program dates back more than half a century to its founding by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. Eisenhower was acting on his firm belief that direct interaction between ordinary citizens around the world can promote cultural understanding and world peace.

Join us as we travel through Japan on an amazing journey to get to know the country, the culture and each other.

Ryokan Stay

We stayed in a traditional Japanese inn called a ryokan.  During our stay we wore a yukata.  We slept on futons which are spread out on a tatami floor.  In the evening we enjoyed a wonderful meal followed by a bath in the hot springs.  The outdoor hot springs looked out on the harbor.
