Programme
The day is designed to give insights into aspects of Japan, traditional and modern. It's a great opportunity for all students who are interested in Japan, and especially for those who would like to learn more about Japanese studies (or Japanese alongside other subjects) at universities in the UK.

• Talks and lectures
• Cultural workshops
• Q&A with current university students
• University Exhibition
The day will feature lectures by SOAS and Ritsumeikan University as well as a University exhibition attended by various universities around the UK offering Japanese studies, both as a major or as an elective. Students will also have the choice of participating in 3 workshops to learn about various aspects of Japanese culture, including a language based workshop led by Japan Foundation London. Some of the elective workshops include:
