It was so inspiring to learn about the history and culture of Japan. I grew in heart, spirit and mind from the experience. The variety of experiences from the busy energy of Tokyo to the peaceful countryside. I loved meditating with a monk in the temple, the kids loved the snow monkeys, my husband loved seeing the minkas and meeting the families that lived in them.

Our highlights were musicians playing with the founder, the cocoa farm, rafting, the hike, and the accommodations. It was so impactful to learn about the culture from a cocoa farmer to a coalition designed to teach kids how to breakdance to a music school that helps keep kids off the street. It was the perfect mixture of cultural education and adventure.
