As a new regional revitalization project this year, the Kyoto Student Festival will hold a “Kyoto Student Festival Pre-Event in Demachi Yanagi” on July 9 in collaboration with Keihan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (President Yoshifumi Kato). To get to the venue of Demachi Yanagi, the “Keihan Railway Charter Event Train” is operated from Nakanoshima Station in Osaka. Comedian “Gin Shari” and Keihan Railway image character “Okeihan (Keiko Demachi Yanagi)” will be invited as special guests to liven up the train with a cappella performances by students and a fashion show.
In the area around Keihan Demachiyanagi Station, which is the last stop, events that can be enjoyed by all generations will be developed, such as special guest talks and stage projects such as the performance of original creations from the Kyoto Student Festival, creating a lively atmosphere throughout the Demachiyanagi area. In addition, after the event, the executive committee will conduct cleanup activities on the Kamo River together with the “Kamo River Beautification Association” as part of the beautification awareness activities, and will interact with the local community. On Saturday the 9th, the Demachi summer tradition “Tanabata Night Store” will also be held from the evening, so please enjoy the summer sunset (the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee will also exhibit a craft booth).
Advance registration is required to board the chartered event train. The entire executive committee is waiting for you to board the train and come to the Demachi Yanagi event venue. For details, please see the outline of the event and the contents of the project below.

Project Details

What is a Regional Revitalization Project?

The Executive Committee, which plans and manages the Kyoto Student Festival, brings together Kyoto students from beyond the boundaries of the university and engages in daily activities with the aim of disseminating “Kyoto as a student city” to society in cooperation with the business community, the government, the local community, and the university, and further revitalizing the Kyoto area and creating new attractions.
This time, the Executive Committee has launched the “Regional Revitalization Project” as a new initiative, and this year we planned pre-events in the Fushimi and Demachiyanagi areas. Through this project, we aim to revitalize the community with the power of students, and to become a festival that is more rooted in the community and loved by the people of Kyoto. The results of this initiative will be connected to the 14th Kyoto Student Festival to be held on October 9th, so please come to the venue (Okazaki Promenade in front of Heian Jingu Shrine).
The University Consortium Kyoto has set the goal of “student growth” in such daily activities, and is providing support aimed at “student independence” that allows students to think and act on their own, and supports the festival in October so that what has been accumulated in the course of activities since the establishment of the executive committee can be maximized at the main festival in October. For encouragement to the Executive Committee, please come to the venue of the Kyoto Student Festival Pre-Event in Demachi Yanagi.
