First day of ASAHI Calture Academy in 2022

It was the first day of the language school after winter vacation and was the first day of 2022.
The day was scheduled by the teachers with different events.
In Japan on the first day of a new year, Japanese are going to the temple as a tradition.
Following that in ASAHI Cultural Academy, students are going to the temple on the first day of school in a new year.
So the teachers took us to the temple and it was so great. Because of that we got a chance to know about Japanese culture more.

Before going to the temple, teachers explained us the way how Japanese going to temple and praying.
And in the temple we got a chance to know how our lives going on this year thanks to future telling place in there. It was so cool and had a great time.

After returning to school the next program was Calligraphy. First we were taught how to use the brush and to write kanji. It was quite hard to write kanji using brush. But it was a nice experience. Students wrote the words those are emphasizing what they most wanted in this year. And after completing it we had our group photo with the kanji we wrote.
And also we got a chance to play Japanese games and yeah it was great and had a lot of fun.
As always we are so grateful for our teachers because they are giving us so many opportunities to know about the Japanese culture and they are making spaces to give us a memorable time.
In the above way we had a great time on our first day at school in this new year.
