Based on the Japanese school culture of "Japanese sports days," events included ball toss, tug-of-war, and relay races. Despite it being a weekend, over 70 students participated, enjoying the opportunity for international exchange.

Participants from diverse backgrounds! A platform for exchange that transcends national, regional, and academic disciplines.

This Events included many international and Japanese students from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, the United States, and Brazil. About 40% of participants were first-year students, but many actively communicated across academic disciplines, ages, and backgrounds.

A campus where everyone can be the star.
