2026年春の校外学習へ行きました。
京都ランゲージアカデミーでは、2026年春の校外学習を実施いたしました。
今回は3度目の新入生を迎えた後ということもあり、教職員を含めた総勢約70名ほどで、歴史と文化の街・奈良公園を訪れました。
現地に到着後、まずは世界遺産である東大寺を参拝し、その圧倒的なスケールを誇る「奈良の大仏（廬舎那仏）」を全員で見学しました。
大仏殿では、有名な「柱の穴くぐり」に挑戦して歓声を上げるなど、日本の歴史的建造物の迫力を肌で感じていました。
また公園内に暮らす野生の鹿たちに鹿せんべいをあげて触れ合うなど、奈良ならではの豊かな自然と文化に触れる貴重な体験となりました。
散策の後は、クラスや国籍の枠を越えた4名ずつのグループに分かれ、指定されたゴール（県庁バスターミナル）を目指す自由行動の時間を設けました。
学生たちは自分たちで地図を広げ、相談しながら歴史ある古い街並みを歩き、お土産を選んだりと、各グループが思い思いに有意義な時間を過ごしていました。
普段の教室での真剣な表情とはまた一味違う、学生たちの朗らかでリラックスした笑顔が非常に印象的な一日となりました。
なによりも、言葉や文化、学年の壁を越えて、共通言語である日本語を一生懸命に使いながら、互いを思いやり、笑顔で交流を深める姿が印象的でした。
京都ランゲージアカデミーは、教室での日本語学習に留まらず、これからも学生一人ひとりの留学生活が、実り多くかけがえのないものとなるよう、全力でサポートを続けてまいります。
Spring Field Trip 2026: Visiting Nara Park
Kyoto Language Academy recently held our Spring Field Trip for 2026. This trip was especially exciting as we had just welcomed our third group of new students. Together with our faculty and staff, a large group of about 70 people visited the beautiful city of Nara Park, a place famous for its rich history and culture.
Upon arriving, our first stop was to visit Todai-ji Temple, a famous World Heritage site, where everyone looked up in awe at the magnificent Great Buddha. Inside the temple hall, the students had a wonderful time trying the famous “Pillar Hole Crawl.” It was a great chance for them to experience the powerful presence of Japan’s historic architecture firsthand. The students also enjoyed feeding “Shika Senbei” (deer crackers) to the wild deer living in the park, making it a truly special experience connecting with Nara’s beautiful nature and culture.
After our walk, the students split into groups of four for some free exploration time. To help them mingle, each group was made up of students from different nationalities and classes. Their goal was to reach the final meeting point at the Prefectural Bus Terminal. Looking at their maps and talking together, the students walked through the charming, historic streets, shopped for souvenirs, and enjoyed a wonderful time in their own ways.
Throughout the day, it was lovely to see our students looking so cheerful and relaxed—a wonderful contrast to their serious, focused faces during regular classes. Most of all, we were deeply moved to see them overcome barriers of language, culture, and school years. They tried their best to communicate with each other using Japanese—their shared language—showing kindness and sharing many smiles.
At Kyoto Language Academy, we believe that learning happens both inside and outside the classroom. We are fully committed to providing our utmost support to ensure that each student’s life in Japan is fruitful, happy, and filled with unforgettable memories.
