YAT, 4th Aug
On the second day, we visited the Hiraizumi Chuzonji Temple. To me, the visit was a breath of fresh air - literally. The temple is actually a UNESCO World Heritage and being surrounded by greenery and sunshine, the area was really pretty. Quite a number of us decided to try out the omikuji, which was really accurate for most, myself included.
After lunch, we headed to Akita International University for interaction with the students. At AIU, the students read international liberal studies and are proficient in multiple languages. To my surprise, AIU is a really cozy looking school. Its library, though small, has a gorgeous design that really makes one want to stay there and study hard! :)
   Thereafter, we went for the Akita Kanto Festival. In summary, it was good food, fun with friends and an exciting parade of lanterns (:
