TOKYO×yamanashi Ryan Crouse & Sophie Sumner
The trip will take you through the Tokyo area as well as Yamanashi Prefecture. For 4 days, we will be exploring these two regions, giving us a good contrast between the urban and rural sides of Japan. The underlying theme of the trip will be “Cultural Sustainability ”, however we have also chosen areas that compliment the traditional Japanese culture with the unique charms of both Yamanashi’s breathtaking countryside and Tokyo’s stylish cityscape.
