Highly recommended for freshmen!
The ever-popular event is back again this year! We will hunt bamboo shoots on the Tokorozawa Campus, and you can take home and eat the bamboo shoots you dig up!
After the hunt, we will walk to a hill with a beautiful view for a picnic lunch (bring your own) and some fun activities to get to know each other ?
Please wear comfortable clothes for digging and walking through the woods! You’ll see the shrine depicted in the famous anime “My Neighbor TOTORO” along the trail, too!
Starting a new school year can be tough, so why not get refreshed in the deep green bamboo grove and under the wide sky? You can make new friends too.
We look forward to seeing you – sign up today!
