Summer
2009 courses
included in the program:
History 4910

Following a 3 week intensive
online reading and discussion course, Dr. Nelson led 8
students across Japan, to see historical sites related
to Japan's ancient
capitals, as well as experience Japan's current culture.
The group left Nashville on June 3, returning on June
25, 2009. Cities visited: Tokyo, Ise, Kyoto, Kameoka,
Osaka, Himeji, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Nagasaki. Students
had the opportunity to homestay overnight with Japanese
families, and time to interact with Japanese college
students from three separate universities. All in all,
the trip was a success! Everyone enjoyed the places we
visited, ranging from Shinto shrines and Buddhist
temples to karaoke boxes and giant robot statues. Stay
tuned for a link to photos from the trip.
Plans are in the works to conduct another Japan study
abroad tour in summer 2011. If interested, please stop by to see Dr.
