On our fourth day the group woke up around 9:30am. We got everything we needed for the day, including our cameras for our informative day at the Tokyo National Museum of Nature and Science. Once we checked the schedule of the museums exhibits we rushed through a light breakfast, and arrived at the museum around 10:30am. We entered with our tickets and headed to our first exhibit: Nature of the Japanese Islands. We learned that Japan has undergone rapid geologic and topographic changes due to tectonic plate movement. Japan is constantly being influenced by monsoons and currents, which nurtures the aquatic organisms in and around the coast of Japan.| Our favorite sight was the blue whale! |
We had to practically drag Laiken and EmmaLi away from the minerals exhibit. (They said the gold was “calling” their name.) Once everyone was rounded up, we walked over to the adjoining restaurant. The restaurant contains a diverse menu, but everyone stuck with American food this time around.
Now was our chance to visit the Theater360. We stood on a bridge in the middle of a giant dome. It was really disorienting, as it seemed to turn us in any direction using video technology. It was quite the experience
