Day 2! We began our day at Queen’s Isetan grocery store and had a great meeting with their management where we shared ideas about the future of agriculture. We then traveled to Tokyo Metropolitan Agriculture High School, where we met with students, teachers, and FFJ members. They even have an FFJ dance and song! Members showed us traditional drums, games, and painted with us. We ended the day in Shibuya, the “Times Square” of Tokyo!
