Thank you
Thank you to the many people who were vital to the success of this ambitious trip. You gave money and time, lent us your network of connections, your insights about Japan, your emotional support. This trip truly would not have been the same without you.
We shared the personal aspects of our journey in our blog posts, and our journalistic undertakings in three separate sections of our website: Stories from Tokyo https://mtjourabroad.wixsite.com/umtofukushima/our-stories , Stories from Fukushima https://mtjourabroad.wixsite.com/umtofukushima and Stories from Miyagi
