KCP Students Have a Blast at Character Street and Odaiba

On July 12, KCP students from the Japanese Anime and Manga Summer Program visited Tokyo Character Street, an underground shopping mall in Tokyo Station.  There, they visited some shops which featured popular anime and manga characters. One of these was Jump Shop.

Then, they got on Yurikamome line to go to Odaiba.  Yurikamome is a fully automated transit system with no drivers on board. Sitting at the very front of the train car was loads of fun!

In Odaiba, the students were treated to the awesome sight of an enormous Gundam robot statue.
