On 26 November, 45 SNG staff and students went hiking in Okutama.

It was a clear day and the participants enjoyed autumn’s flame-colored leaves of red, yellow and orange.
They walked from Hatonosu Valley to Tamagawa River, had nice lunch after hiking – pork soup (SNG staff made this for the students!), BBQ and baked potatoes.

After lunch, some went around the SNG Okutama center while others went to experience hot spring.
It was such a successful event and became one of the most memorable experiences for many students.
