Objectives of Trip

We want to learn about Kyushu and how it has improved its position in this society. We want to know how Kitakyushu solved its environmental issues and become one of the world's leading eco-town model. Overall, we hope to come back, proud to say that we learned what books cannot teach us.

Reflection on Day 3

Group Reflection
After leaving the Gokase village, we proceeded to the winery where we went to see how wine was made through grapes.

Next, we went to Mount Aso. At Mount Aso, we had to travel up using a gondola, holding a handkerchief to our mouths so as to prevent any inhalation of the choking sulphur dioxide gas. The temperature was about 3 degrees Celsius and r some were cold due to being inappropriately dressed. It was very foggy hence it was a challenge to be able to see the volcano itself.

After which we proceeded to the Volcano museum where we were able to see more of what Mount Aso really was. The view was spectacular.

After lunch, we went to the Kumamoto castle. There, we saw how the castle was designed to keep assassins from getting to the feudal lord and how it was designed carefully.
