On Sunday, May 12, the 2024 Matsunoo Okaeri Festival for Matsunoo Taisha Shrine in Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto was held in grand fashion. Following their participation in the Oide Festival held by the same shrine in April, students from the Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) took part in the Munakata Shrine deity procession.

On the day, students carried the portable shrine together with local residents, many of them from the from the Munakata-sha Junior Chamber. The event served as a valuable opportunity for students to engage in exchanges with local community members while learning about local history and culture and cultivating a stronger spirit of community contribution.
