Those are great pictures Emmy. Seems like you had a great time.

and your host family's daughter is adorable.

thats awful expensive for just 14 days your spending there, you can probably find a better deal than that.

We already went through this months ago, so there's no point talking about the price now.

Wow, looks like you had a great trip. I wonder if the food there was okonomiyaki. It is prepared on a grill and it is tasty.

Lol, zomg I didnt even notice, now i feel kinda stupid.

It looks like you had fun. But to pay that much money and then they put you to work picking tea, making noodles, and doing voice overs for Anime, well they got their moneys worth out of you.(Just kidding, it looked fun too)
I bet you will remember this for all your life and that little girl is meccha kawaii!:D

:O

Is it really that expensive to go?! When I was planning my trip I was thinking at least 1000 -1500. Less if my cousin allows me to live with her relatives.

It looks like you had a good time. Those pictures are great. I also did People to People when I was around your age. I went to the Meditteranian and had a blast. While I agree People to People trips are a little bit on the expensive side, they truly are wonderful experiences.

I agree with all said above. I am currently planning a trip for Sept for way less. Send me a message if you would like some advice or details of my trip planning- I dont mind sharing, in fact I want to share so others can learn/ get ideas from my trip!

Okay. so basically Our trip was two weeks. We traveled around most of southern and central japan. We visited Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Matsuyama, Hakone, and Tokyo.


Barbecue in Kyoto.


over 10,000 paper cranes, Hiroshima

My homestay family had a beautiful house.


I'm pretty sure this was the electronics district in tokyo.
