A successful day of filming for the HPGCC DVD!!
It was lights, camera, action at Hyogo Cultural Centre when filming commenced on our new DVD designed to promote some of the wonderful elements of Hyogo Prefecture as well as the activities of Hyogo Cultural Centre. Our favourite actor friend, Shingo Usami, came to Perth to help us for the day and took great delight in his role as presenter. Here is a photo of him dispelling some of the myths surrounding the scrumptious Kobe Beef. We are also creating a package of fantastic educational resources to go with the DVD to assist primary and secondary language and social studies teachers to introduce Japan and more specifically, Hyogo Prefecture, in the classroom. We can't wait to share it all with you! And, if you are looking for a chance to visit Japan, why not consider joining our tour to Hyogo and the Kansai region in April 2013??
