My three year old son and I attended an English playgroup which was held at a small town in neighboring prefecture. It took about 20 minutes to get there. My son looked shy first, but he got excited soon after it started. Since we were in a Japanese-style room, there were tatamis. They were not familier with my son. because there’s no tatamis in my house. He seemed to like playing on the tatami mats because they were slipery. He had a lot of fun.
