SIJ at Monkey Mountain

The day after wrapping up SIJ, our Harvard instructors and teaching assistants took a scenic drive along Oita’s beautiful coastline to Takasakiyama Monkey Park! 🐒

We enjoyed the breathtaking views, met so many monkeys—including adorable babies!—and learned about a traditional Japanese custom said to bring good luck. 🍀

And what a lovely surprise—we even ran into some of our SIJ students there! ✨

A perfect day of nature, culture, friendship, and one more unforgettable SIJ memory.
