Softball exchange game

An exchange game was held at Fukushima Prefectural Azuma Baseball Stadium, where baseball and softball were played during the Tokyo 2020 Games.On the day of the event, the field was set up for the Japan-U.S. softball game, and the players played lively in that atmosphere.

Watching the Japan-U.S. softball 2022 game

I watched the Japan-U.S. Softball 2022 match held at Fukushima Prefectural Azuma Stadium.Watch the high-level play of the Japanese and U.S. national team players up close.The match was a 2-1 walk-off victory for the Japanese national team, and the match was very exciting.

Fukushima prefecture's attractive experience (peach picking)

At an orchard in Fukushima City, we experienced picking peaches, the representative fruit of Fukushima Prefecture.Many students experienced peach picking for the first time, and they had fun while enjoying the sweet and delicious peaches (akazuki).

Earthquake disaster learning (Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum, Earthquake Remains Namie Town Ukedo Elementary School)

We visited the Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum and the Namie Town Ukedo Elementary School, which houses the remains of the earthquake.They listened to a lecture by an earthquake disaster storyteller and toured an exhibit of materials related to the time of the disaster and evacuation life, deepening their understanding of this unprecedented complex disaster.Comments from the students included, ``By actually observing, I was able to learn about fear again,'' ``I want to connect this to what I learned in the future,'' and ``I felt like I had to pass this on to the next generation.'' was asked.
