First year Yamamura Kokusai students took a break from study, a chance to refresh in the autumn colours of Shinrinkoen. In the middle of a year marked by restrictions and restraint, Yamamura Kokusai first year students were more than pleased to be able to enjoy a day in the fresh air, and open spaces of the park. Teachers too were able to relax and enjoy time with the students away from the classroom. In these difficult times, it is essential to take every opportunity there is.
