Waycross College planning trip to Japan

---

In keeping with its strong tradition of providing study abroad opportunities, Waycross College will travel to a new destination during the spring 2010 semester.

Christine Kikuchi, associate professor of information technology, has announced that a trip to Japan is planned for March 12-20.

The trip is an optional enrichment activity for students participating in the Study Abroad-South Pacific and Asia course during spring semester. According to Kikuchi, participation in the study abroad course is not a requirement for the trip to Japan. Other Waycross College students, faculty, staff, and the general public are invited to travel as well.

The trip's itinerary includes many sightseeing opportunities. Travelers will spend time in Tokyo where they will be able to see cosplay (costume play) in Harajuku and visit the Hamarikyu Japanese Gardens, the Meiji Shrine, and Asakusa Temple.

A one day trip to Nikko, Japan, home of the See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil monkey carving, is also planned. In addition, an overnight trip to Hakone, which lies at the base of Mount Fuji, is scheduled. Travelers will return to Jacksonville, Fla. March 20.
