Today's group leaders - Nick, Ethan, Aaron and Ronin.
This morning we went to Odaiba - an island in Tokyo Bay. Our first stop was Miraikan - The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. Each floor is divided into sections which focus on different scientific areas. Exhibits at Miraikan are very hands on: you can take apart a plastic head section by section to see what’s inside; touch a robotic seal to see if you can get it to make cute noises; investigate earthquakes and tremors around the world; give your own brain a work out by trying to solve spatial awareness puzzles with shapes and letters.
High on the list for most students was shopping, so after Miraikan we visited Aqua City - one of a few shopping centres at Odaiba. On the way we got to see a few interesting statues!
Finally, in the afternoon, we went to Asakusa to visit Sensouji - the oldest temple in Tokyo.
