In 2025 we will again host an adult tour to Japan.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will visit Buddhist Temples and Shinto Shrines,  participate in a Japanese Tea Ceremony and many other cultural activities. BUT this is not a \u201cbus tour. \u201c You will have the opportunity for an overnight stay in the home of a Japanese family, exchange ideas with colleagues from Japanese schools, government, and businesses, and have free days to explore on your own with a volunteer from Ota. You will get to know the people and the culture of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salem Residents! Don\u2019t miss the opportunity to visit the Far East!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Itinerary from the Summer 2017 Trip.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximate cost of the trip is $5,100.00 This includes: airfare, accommodations, most meals, bus and rail transportation, and memorable welcome and farewell parties!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
