Dear Curious Historical Explorers,

Your life today is built on the basis of past history, on many historical legacies that have been handed down since ancient times.

At this event, we will ask you to go back in time to the Edo period and search for legends of that time and cultural relics that remain today around Waseda University. You will go outside the campus and complete a mission.

We are looking for expedition members to take on the challenge. You will have a team with several members and use your teamwork and observation skills to tackle the mission.
