Island near the resturant where the Koshares ate lunch

The day began with breakfast at the hotel and us checking out. By 8:30am we checked out of the hotel and were on our way to Yamagata to meet up with Dance Space. We boarded a bus headed for Yamagata, it would be eight hour drive to our destination. Along the way we got to see the beautiful country side and stopped at a couple of sightseeing areas. We drove along the coast and got to see the ocean for four hours of the trip.

Half way into the trip we stopped at a city near the ocean to break for lunch. The seafood lunch was enjoyed by most of the Koshares. After lunch we shopped in the local fish market near the resturant.

5:30pm Arrive in Yamagata City

The bus pulled into the city building for Yamagata City and we were greeted by our friends from Dance Space. We unloaded luggage and outfits from the bus while saying hi to all those we met last September. We met our host families and loaded our personal luggage into their vehicles. After transporting luggage from the bus to vehicles we went into the city building for a welcome dinner.

9:00pm Host Families

After the dinner, spending time with Dance Space and several welcome speaches we headed home with our host families. All members were hosted with families that were part of Dance Space. Many Koshares went home with many familiar faces.
