On November 3, 2018 (Saturday), 11 members of Shimonoseki City University Japan Heritage Exploration Q-kai, 4 first-year students who wished from the basic exercises that the advisor was in charge of, and one faculty member of the club adviser participated in community development-related events held in Rokurenjima to help them.
　First, in the morning, there was a commemorative ceremony such as the unveiling ceremony of an information board (installation) that explains that Rokurenjima Lighthouse, hosted by the Moji Coast Guard, is one of the constituent cultural properties of the Japanese heritage "Kanmon Nostalgic Strait". One of the circle members served as a member of the Kanmon Straits Japan Heritage Council and participated in the unveiling ceremony as one of the guests. Other circle members saw the "valiant figure" and toured the lighthouse, which was open to the public for the first time in six years.
　For lunch, the women's department of the residents' association made hijiki rice and everyone enjoyed it. Sazae pot grilled a lot for the students, and I had it deliciously. Thank you for your feast.
　From 1:00 pm, there was a concert by a citizen choir held at the request of the Rokurenjima Residents' Association at the fishing village center in front of the port, and many tourists participated. At the same time, the Japan Heritage Exploration Q-kai has been thinking about whether we can do some kind of help and activities, and has done the following.
　From 2:30 pm, we were divided into the Carta Tournament Team and the Shimauchi Walking Group. First of all, the Carta tournament team held a carta tournament on the same floor after the concert with "Kanmon nostalgic" Strait carta" (which can be downloaded from the following website) handmade by circle members. A lot of children on the island came and it was very exciting, and in response to the encore, we held up to the third round. The students were also pleased to see what they made and enjoyed playing.
　The Shimauchi Walking Group called on tourists, includingbasalt, Hana no House, Saikyoji Temple, and Hachimangu Shrine Rikurejima in just an hour. One of the tour participants received words of appreciation that the student guidance was kind and fun. The students seemed relieved to be able to guide them without hesitation.
　The staff of the Shimonoseki City Board of Education Cultural Property Protection Division also participated this time, and the guide map of Roku Islands completed in the summer in the circle "Shimonoseki" Growth Story Vol.2-I want to convey the charm of Rokurishima! A panel for this day was displayed in front of the fishing village center in front of the fishing village center. Thank you very much. This map is proposed by the chairman of the Rikurejima Self-Government, and color printed materials are also posted at the waiting area at Takezaki Port on the mainland side of Shimonoseki and at the waiting area at Rokurejima Port. The students surveyed and fieldwork on their own, and a map summarizing the "something" of the six islands and the charm of the region is useful for tourists visiting the port and residents of the island to see it. I'm a little proud and happy.
　Behind the map panel, more than 10 posters created by the students were also posted. These are the students who visited the island many times so far, picked up from the photos they took each time, shared them with several people, and each photo contains the "words" that each student thought. What I say as a teacher, but both photos and the words attached are wonderful things that make use of the fresh sense of young students. We will put these posters on the wall on the second floor of the fishing village center because the members of the Rokurenjima Residents' Association will be working hard, and will continue to post them for a while.
　In addition, the four first-year students who wished from the basic exercise of the university, who visited the island for the first time, walked a little around the island with the guidance of the circle members, touched on a part of the charm of Rokurenjima and enjoyed it. I think the number of fans of the six islands has increased a little further.
　On the way home, the residents' association gave many wonderful flowers to the circle members again this time. The students once again touched on the kindness of the islanders, and said, "I love the six islands!" “The more I go, the more I want to go!” It was a wonderful island that I thought it was."
　The survey and fieldwork were very helpful to the people of the Rikure Islands. Thanks to you, the students of the circle were taught by the islanders a lot that they could never learn in the university alone, learned, and had a fun and valuable experience. To the islanders, thank you.
　In addition, a part of what the students felt through this Rokurejima fieldwork was part of the website of the Japan Heritage Exploration Q Association (November 5, 2018, "I participated in the Rokurejima Concert!" I'm going to introduce it. Please take a look (https://shidai-nikkyu.amebaownd.com/posts/5129328).
