All the professors and students in our group went on a trip in Kujukuri, Chiba prefecture. We fully enjoyed our 2-day trip.

The 1st Day
We left Tokyo very early in thie morning and drove up to Kujukurihama in Chiba prefecture. After having lunch, we moved to a beach and played Beach Flags, a game using a Frisbee, and so on. In the evening after arriving the lodge, we enjoyed BBQ until midnight.

The 2nd Day
We went to Country Farm Tokyo German Village in Sodegaura City in Chiba prefecture to play patter golf, archery, and so on.

Zhang got Hatakeyama Award from The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), and Amano got Eiji Muto Outstanding Student Award from Japan Society for Design Engineering. Congratulations!

Taking advantage of the day off we got because of the entrance exam for universities, 6 'selected' people in our group went skiing/snowboarding in Hakuba-Goryu, Nagano prefecture. Although we had a happening in which about 1 person got lost on the very first day of the trip, our trip there was generally nice with a unexpectedly great accomodation.
We could see some stones and branches of trees on the slope in the afternoon, and they made me feel like we were (and are) having a very warm winter, yet lots of courses we could glide down on completely satisfied our craving of winter sport with real snow after all. (Kuwamura)

Yokoguchi attended the 53rd Sympodium on Strength of Materials at High Temperature and won the Best Presentation Award. Congratulations!

All the professors and students in our group went on a trip in Karuizawa, Nagano prefecture. Although the weather forcast said it was going to rain because it was in the middle of the rainy season, but fortunately the sun came back and the rain was all cleared up after all, and we fully enjoyed our 2-day trip.

The 1st Day
We left Tokyo very early in thie morning and drove up to Yasunaka City in Gunma prefecture. After having lunch, we moved to a municipal gym and played bascketball and dodgeball altogether except Prof. Kurokawa (He went drinking alone and got back to us totally drunk). In the evening after arriving the lodge we stayed in Karuizawa, we enjoyed badminton, table tennis, and BBQ until midnight.

The 2nd Day
Spliting into 2 groups, one group enjoyed shopping and lunch at the Prince Shopping Plaza in Karuizawa, and the other went see the Shiraito falls.

Niioka got Hatakeyama award from The Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). Congratulations!

Kato attended the 22nd symposium of NDE of Ultrasonic Testing held in Kameari, Tokyo, and got the budding award. Congratulations!

We went skiing in Kitashiga! We enjoyed skiing or snowboarding in a snowstorm, and then warmed ourselves in a hotspring. This is exactly what Japanese ski trip is like!

We went on a lab trip in 2 days in Atami!
15 members split into 3 rental cars. We got caught in a heavy traffic jam in Tomei Highway, but successfully arrived at the destination without any trouble.

The 1st Day
We swam in a beach near Atami station. Our dinner was smorgasbord. We ate crabs a lot and became completely full!

The 2nd Day
We drove around and ate some delicious food like Wasabi-don. Blessed with the nice weather, we were totally satisfied with this trip.

Sugino attended the 21st symposium of NDE of Ultrasonic Testing, and got the Poster Award. Congrats!
