"Let's get to know the essence of Japanese culture! Has been implemented since 2008 as part of global human resource development, with the aim of raising and understanding of Japanese culture by all students of our university, including international students, to raise and understand Japanese culture.

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