SOLVING PROBLEMS AS A COMMUNITY IN UWC ISAK JAPAN As much as I believe ISAK has the potential to solve problems within and out of our circle, the approaches taken by our school as a whole are sometimes questionable and ineffective. I am also aware of being hypocritical myself by bringing up a school issue and not doing anything directly to change it, but before taking action, it is important to voice my opinion.

Places to Visit in
Tokyo During Winter Break By Hibiki Ichihara This winter, a lot of ISAK students will leave the campus but some may not be able return to their home country, so Tokyo would be the place those places would be great places to visit for sightseeing with your friends or alone when you go to Tokyo.

Tokyo Disneyland
Tokyo disneyland is the third disney theme park of its kind created in the world, and this one in Japan is the first one built outside of the US. Tokyo Disneyland has the same rides like the one in Florida, such as space mountain, splash mountain, and big thunder mountain. You probably have to spend a day to go ride the whole rides and watch parades.
Tokyo Skytree
2
The Tokyo Skytree is 634 meter tall and is the highest building in Japan. There are two different view platforms with cafe, restaurant, as well as a glass floor and the highest place you can go is about 465 meters. Many tourists visit this place everyday and obviously is one of the most popular sightseeing spot in Tokyo. Around Tokyo Skytree, there is an also place called Tokyo Solamachi where people can shop.

$VDNXVD Temple
One of the oldest temples in Tokyo, the huge paper lantern about 700 kg with the word “thunder gate” is the trademark of this temple.

On the street to the temple, there are many stores where people buy “Ningyo-Yaki” which is the most famous snack, representing Asakusa and Tokyo.
Ueno

4
This is one of the most famous streets in Tokyo placed in Ueno. You will see bunch of people from around the world walking on this street at anytime of the day. You can buy anything for a relatively cheap price, from fish, clothes, snacks, and sports gear. It is also interesting to see aggressive sellers shouting for customers especially Kebab stores run by foreign people.
Odaiba
This is the place where you can have fun with your friends or shopping. Diver City is one of the biggest shopping malls in Tokyo. In front of the building, there is a huge gundam model as well as gundam museum inside. There is an also place called Spotcha! where people can have fun playing sports, games, and singing karaoke. From the park placed on the opposite side of Odaiba, you can enjoy the beautiful sunset after you have fun in the shopping mall or looking at the fake statue of liberty.
(PSHURU·V Palace

This place is the only castle still remaining in Tokyo. The emperor lives in this place, however people are only allowed walk around the inside of the castle except for the emperor’s residence. Inside of this place, you will see many pieces of Edo castle from long time ago when Samurai still existed. You can enjoy traditional goods the emperor has for many generations.
