Making tours with university students

Our students visited three places with the students who major in English at Kanazawa University and the students at National Taiwan Normal University in order to take part in field work programs. The students had a deeper understanding about different cultures by searching local cultures, local industries, and local tourism.

Our students and Kanazawa University students showed the Taiwanese students around the city. They visited 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Kenrokuen Garden, and Kanazawa Castle.
