"Let's learn the essence of Japanese culture! Since fiscal 2008, the program has been held since fiscal 2008 with the aim of encouraging all students, including international students, to become interested in Japanese culture and to understand them.

　In the first year of 2023, we conducted a bus tour around Yamaguchi on June 24 (Saturday). I visited Ruriko-ji Temple (Yamaguchi City), which is renovating the roof once every 70 years, and heard interesting stories from volunteer guides. Next, we explored a mysterious space at Akiyoshi-dong, one of Japan's largest solutional cave, in Mine City, and enjoyed the magnificent scenery at Akiyoshidai, Japan's largest karst plateau. Finally, we visited Motonosumi-jinja Shrine (Nagato City), a superb view with 123 red torii gates lined up toward the Sea of Japan. I visited spots that were difficult to visit using public transportation and enjoyed the culture and nature of Yamaguchi.
