Aims
The College is organizing a cultural study tour with the theme “Traveling through 1000 years of Kyoto.” This tour will take students to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, and nearby places in Japan to deepen their understanding of the rich traditional and historical culture of Kyoto and the Kansai region. The College also subsidizes students to plan and participate in various traditional and cultural activities on their own. Additionally, the itinerary will include a visit to a local university that provides an opportunity for our students to interact with local peers, offering our students the chance to interact with local peers and foster cultural exchange and mutual understanding. Upon completion of the activity, students will receive a certificate of participation.
