Interaction with local student volunteers Excursion including a visit to Miyajima Island followed by a reception at a hotel on the opposite shore
As part of an international conference at JMS Aster Plaza, the program included an excursion to Miyajima and a reception at a hotel on the opposite shore.
With the help of professional English-speaking guides and a number of student volunteers, the visit to Miyajima and Itsukushima Shrine became an opportunity for international exchange. The student volunteers participated in this program after receiving English training from the professional guides. It was an experience motivated the students to participate in more international exchanges in the future.
After the visit to Miyajima, a reception was held at a hotel on the other side of the island, where a kendama performance, said to have originated in Hatsukaichi, was held as an attraction, and participants also had a chance to try kendama.
At the end of the reception, participants boarded a sightseeing boat that departed from the hotel to enjoy the view of the Otorii and Itsukushima Shrine from the boat.
While traveling by charter bus from Hiroshima City to Hatsukaichi/Miyajimaguchi, participants deepened the exchange with volunteers and guides by introducing themselves on the bus.
