Universities in New Zealand


There are great difference between university in New Zealand and Japan.

In New Zealand, University of New Zealand was established all parts of country between 1870 and 1961, and it was divided into 8 universities. All of universities are administered by country, and these are offering high level education, and New Zealand has skipping system, but Japan doesn’t have it.

In Japan, Teikoku University (which name Tokyo University now) was established in 1877, afterwards, university keeps being established one after another. Japan has many kind of university, national, prefectural and private and civic, but entrance to university is more difficult than New Zealand.

Gion Festival!!


Do you know Gion festival? It is held in Kyoto, and it is traditional festival in Japan. Kyoto is known to be traditional city all over the world. If you haven’t gone to Gion festival, I recommend going to it.
Here in after, I wrote way to Gion festival.
If you want to go to Gion festival, you ride the bullet train, train and bus which cost 5500 yen in total, and it takes about 1 hour or if you want to go there by only train, it costs 3000 yen, and it takes 1 hour 30minutes or if you want to go there by only bus, it costs 2500 yen.
I recommend you to stop briefly at Nara in the way of Kyoto. Nara has many historical places. For example, there are Todaiji and Gojyunotou. If you go to Kyoto and Nara, you learn history of Japan.
