Team Nicerio visits the Sheep of the World Museum
My family and I visited Sheep of the World Museum for the first time last September 25, 2022, the last day of our September 24-25 Road Trip. It was my 328th day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. We made sure to visit the museum because we wanted to know more about sheep after we enjoyed interacting with them at Sheep and Cloud Hill. After our visit, I could safely say that we have found a new sense of appreciation for these beautiful creatures.
