Regional debut program “Machiya de Udon” → Learn more |
Local residents (from children to the elderly) and TUFS students (including international students) interact through udon making at the Fukakusa Machiya Campus, which is the university’s regional exchange hub. It is used as a motivation for community collaboration activities for students and as a place for multigenerational and international exchange for local residents. |
