The Computing and IT department took 30 students to Tokyo for a study trip in February 2025. We had a fantastic time visiting Tech centres in the city such as the Electronic and Anime district Akihabara, the Tsuksuba Space Centre and the amazing TeamLabs with its immersive displays. We also had time to experience the culture of Japan with visits to Asakusa Temple & Shrine (the largest in Tokyo), experience a Shinkansen (bullet) train journey to Odawara Castle and walk “that famous crossing” in Shibuya. Further highlights included the interactive exhibits of the Earthquake Disaster Centre, views of Mount Fuji from the Tokyo Sky Tower, a Shabu Shabu meal and trying lots of unusual, flavoured kit-kats!
