On Saturday, February 21, a "WELCOME TO KUFS." exchange event was held for Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) applicants who passed the entrance examinations for the 2026 academic year. Many students attended the event, which followed a previous WELCOME TO KUFS. on December 6.

This time around, attendees were divided into three groups for the event program. During the "Ninja Experience to Learn Vocabulary" portion, members participated in a game-format learning experience together with international students—something unique to a foreign language studies university. There was also a campus tour led by KUFS students, which introduced the newcomers to exchange program and career related departments, the University Library, Libre Café, and other student-recommended facilities. In addition, two students provided a brief introduction to life on campus, which proved to be popular. During this portion, the students engaged in discussions about their reasons for coming to KUFS while also talking about their studies, exchange program experiences and extracurricular activities.

The day's activities concluded with a friendly gathering among incoming and current students, complete with juice and snacks. All present became better acquainted with one another in a natural way while sowing the seeds of new friendship.

The teachers and students at KUFS are excited to welcome our new members during the entrance ceremony in April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom!
