ILO holds an international tea party 2-3 times a year. This is to provide a chance to meet new friends and enjoy a chat among international students, visiting fellows and Japanese students who belongs at the School of Science. On some occasions, students take this time to introduce his/her home country. Please inquire at ILO for the detailed schedule.

With the fund from The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Monbukagakusho), International Students can enjoy a two-day, one night trip for the purpose of experiencing Japanese culture. In the School of Science, a trip is organized with this allowance, providing a chance to get to know more friends.

We visited Nikko, Yamanaka Lake, Hakone, Izu, Kiyosato, Azumino & Matsumoto, Nikko and Karuizawa in the past.

In December, we close the year by holding a big lunch party. This is open to everyone at School of Science and volunteers are welcomed to bring their home country dishes to enjoy a variety of foods.
