In the summer of 2024, I plan on taking a one month trip to Japan. After writing my senior thesis on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki attacks, I felt especially drawn to explore more of the culture and history of this place. One of my professors who was a missionary there for 12 years has helped me plan my trip. I hope to find materials to add to my thesis while I am there. To travel from Tokyo to the surrounding cities, one must use the Shinkansen, or the bullet train line. This train covers local transport of all kinds, as well as 21 days of travel all over the island. As I don’t have any other wishes for physical gifts for my birthday or graduation, I would greatly appreciate any contributions to this pass, as I will be covering my personal plane ticket, accommodations, food, ect. It would aid the ease of my travels and really help me make the most of my time there.
