One of the things I was most excited about coming to Japan was to learn about the ninjas - they are from here. My dad said they'd teach me how to throw ninja stars, use a blow dart, and even teach me how to fight with a real samurai sword!
And that's exactly what we did! I was pretty good with the ninja stars but most accurate with the blow dart!
And I did pretty good with the sword too!
I didn't know much about Japanese culture before coming to Japan, but got exposure to so many things! I was pretty excited after the morning activity, so after lunch we went to a tea ceremony... to relax.
Did you know that there are less than 1000 geishas in Japan, and only 300 in Kyoto!? It's very hard to meet one, but somehow my dad was able to arrange a special dinner with them and they taught us about their culture and their ways.
They were great and we had a lot of fun! They played samisen, sang, danced, and we even got to play games!
