They visited Bunkyo kindergarten, another kindergarten affiliated to Bunkyo Gakuin University, which is located in the center of Tokyo.  Some children were interested in talking with Sasha and Edna while they were playing.  This girl came to say hello to them.

今日は、本郷にある文京幼稚園の見学をしました。外国からのゲストには慣れている子どもたちは、フレンドリーに寄ってきてくれます。

They headed to the main building of Hongo campus.  They were invited to meet Bunkyo’s top executives, Executive President Akiko Shimada and her son, Masakazu Shimada, who was newly appointed as the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees.  They both have known Ken Murakami, a local coordinator in Santa Cruz, for a long time.  They asked Sasha and Edna how hard it would be to get a job that they really like after graduating from the ECE programs.  In their answers, they emphasized that having a special skill set will undoubtedly make them a more well-rounded ECE professional, and may increase their chance of getting a job after graduation.

その後、本郷キャンパスを訪問し、学園長と理事長にご挨拶をしました。このプログラムの仲介役をしてくれている、サンタクルーズ在住の村上健さんとは2人とも旧知の仲です。幼児教育専攻を卒業した後の就職先はアメリカではどのような状況なのかの質問に、2人の学生は特別な資格を多く持っている方が就職にも有利なため、自分たちも多くの資格を取得していることを強調していました。この後、学園長とランチもご一緒して、楽しいひと時を過ごしました。

They spent the rest of their day in the Harajuku areas with two Bunkyo students.  Before they went into Harajuku, the large torii or gates, marking the entrance to Meiji Shrine, are impossible to miss.  Meiji Shrine is located in the heart of Tokyo near the busy Harajuku shopping district.  I bet they also spent time shopping there!

午後からは、児童発達学科の学生2人に案内されて、原宿周辺の観光に出かけました。まずは、明治神宮前の鳥居で記念撮影です。たぶん原宿ではショッピングも楽しんだことでしょう
