Itinerary description
|
This route is a special activity of the Tōkyō tourism school.
The Tōkyō tourism school has just changed its name to "21st century academy hospitality school", and yes, it's a pretty ugly name, but it's still the famous tourism school that I managed to get into, and it really is a very cool inside and out, and in her activities.
In this activity we have gone to the artificial island of Odaiba. Students from the Tōkyō tourism school from different courses participated in a gymkhana. Groups of between 6 and 7 people from different classes have been made. My group was number 25 (by which I mean there were a lot of us) and apart from me it was made up of Chinese-speaking people (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia), but they are nice people and we communicated in Japanese.
The gymkhana had several phases. In the first one, we had a map and we had to find 6 marked points. Of those 6 points we had to answer which ones had a blue flower, a rose and a bunch of grapes. After getting the answer and confirming it with the teachers, who were where the test began, one of the members had to blindfold themselves and follow the classmates' instructions to find some balls of colored balls. I have been the one who has taken the reins and blindfolded myself. After getting the balls, we moved on to the next phase.
In phase 2, we had a new map, covering a much larger area. We had to find certain tourist places and answer the questions they had left there. These points were a sculpture, the giant Unicorn Gundam robot, a building with the flag of hundreds of countries... Some questions were difficult, such as, from the flag of Iran and to the right, which is flag number 66!
After finishing the questions we went back to the beginning and there was a game of petanque. In that game we had to get all the members to leave the ball in the central circle of the board. After achieving this, there was phase 3.
In phase 3 the area was even larger. You had to go to the Statue of Liberty and say where it faces (north/south/east/west). Then you had to go to a very long bridge and it has some stairs. You had to count the steps and say if they are the same number on both sides. Being different, also how many steps of difference there were. They really were fun tests. At 12:30 we had to be at the restaurant where we were going to eat, whether we had finished the gymkhana or not. My group finished it.
The restaurant was an all-you-can-eat buffet that looked very good. I couldn't eat anything because I have celiac disease, but my wife had prepared a bento for me and I can also enjoy it in the restaurant.
After eating we got on a boat and went from Odaiba to Asakusa. The boat went down the Sumida River and we were able to see Tōkyō Skytree. Already in Asakusa we went to see the Sensō-ji temple. After seeing the temple, the excursion was over and there was the bus to return to school.
I have taken several school trips in Japan, to Yokohama and Hakone, and without a doubt this has been the most fun.
Since the morning, the weather had warned of rain, and the dark clouds confirmed it, but the weather held out until the end of the activity, so we were lucky.
