【October/November】Report on On-Campus and Extracurricular Events

ISI organizes a wide variety of extracurricular activities and events for students in accordance with the seasons.
Some of the events held in October and November are listed below.

Halloween parties were held at each school at the end of October. Students and staff dressed up in costumes and had a great time!
The high level and variety of costumes made the event a great success.

JR Oji Station Tour Event

On Wednesday, November 2, a tour of JR Oji Station by Japan Railways (JR), one of Japan’s leading railroad companies, was held for students who are fans of railroads.
The students were able to see the stationmaster’s office, behind the ticket vending machines, and other places that are normally only accessible to those in charge of the station, and they listened to explanations and asked questions with sparkling eyes, such as when they experienced an “alarm clock that absolutely wakes you up” for the station staff on duty.

Nohgaku Appreciation for Foreigners

At Harajuku Campus, we went to the “Nohgaku Appreciation Class for Foreigners,” where students can watch the traditional Japanese performing art “Nohgaku” with subtitles in various languages.

Nohgaku is a representative Japanese performing art that has been passed down for over 600 years.
It is difficult to understand the content of the play because it is performed in an old Japanese language, but since subtitles were provided for this event, the students were able to understand the story and enjoy the performance.

Disaster Prevention Drills

The Kyoto Campus held a disaster drill. In this disaster drill, students studied the history of actual disasters that have occurred in Kyoto and learned what countermeasures they can take. At the hands-on corner, students were able to learn how to extinguish a fire quickly and efficiently from a person with actual expertise in the field. It was an enjoyable yet important experience.

The biggest event of the year! The “NBL Festival” was held at the Nagano Campus.
It was the first time in three years that the festival was held due to Corona.
The students were able to show the results of all their practice and had a great time. Little by little, we are happy that we are able to have events like before, and that they are leading to memories and experiences for our students.

On Monday, November 21, we held an exchange program with local high school students at Tsukuba Kaisei Gakuen High School Ueda Learning Center.
We conducted interviews about each country, gave a small lecture in three languages, and played various games. The high school students taught us how to play “Daruma-san ga tumbled,” which was very exciting.
The Nagano Campus, which is closely connected to the local community, has many opportunities to interact with local people like this one.


We will continue to provide information on events at each school on a regular basis.
