Thank you for holding the event
Following on from the previous pre-event, the second pre-event of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Project in Kyoto Station Building & Porta was successfully completed on Sunday, August 27, thanks to everyone’s support and cooperation.
On the day of the event, we were able to carry out all the programs of the “Kyoto Student Festival 15th Anniversary Festa in Kyoto Station Building & Porta” with a pleasant breeze blowing as if autumn had arrived, along with a large chorus of cicadas feeling the hot summer. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who came to the event and to all those who worked hard in various fields to hold the pre-event.
Event Report

At the 15th Kyoto Student Festival, students themselves become “culture” in Kyoto, which is called “Kyoto City of Students” under the theme of creating “Kyoto student culture,” and we are working every day with the goal of becoming a “culture” themselves, learning about Kyoto’s culture, and creating a new culture that adds a student’s personality to it. And at the main festival of the Kyoto Student Festival (held on October 8), which is the culmination of these efforts, we aim to make the festival more rooted in Kyoto and loved by people while demonstrating the passionate energy of the students to the fullest.
This time, “15th Anniversary Festa in Kyoto Station Building & Porta” was held on Sunday, August 27 at the Kyoto Station Building and the underground shopping mall Porta in front of Kyoto Station.
The opening event began with a chalk art performance by the Mr./Ms. of the Kyoto University of the Arts Art Club, which captivated the Mr./Ms. of visitors, followed by a greeting from Mr. Daisaku Kadokawa, the Mayor of Kyoto, and a declaration of the opening from Mr. Kima, Chairman of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee.
At the Porta Plaza Stage, the odori and costumes are very popular every time. There were games and quizzes using the Sodefure Collection and local characters, a project by Mr./Ms. Scientific, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Kyoto Kumiyama High School, which conveyed the wonder and fun of science, and a performance by students of the Kyoto Tachibana University calligraphy club based on the mounts drawn by the children of visitors at the booth, and members of the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee and visitorsWe had a wonderful time and the project was carried out.
In the plaza in front of the station, Mr./Ms.everyone is busy wearing yukata with Chinese and Korean exchange students to experience and make their favorite booths, such as the Uchimizu project to cool Kyoto Station in the summer, the school festival booth where you can feel the culture of the students closely, the Kyoto Flame Mikoshi Exhibition, and the interaction with local characters and taking photos. There was a line at the Mr./Ms. booth, and the students were so energetic that they could not be defeated by the summer heat.
In particular, the Kyoto Student Music Award, a student music contest that was the centerpiece of this year’s event, was held at Muromachikoji Plaza. With a passion for music that could not be defeated by the midsummer sun, the battle for participation in the Kyoto Student Festival Main Festival was waged, attracting many visitors to the world of student music.
And the long-awaited stage performance by “Heisei KIZOKU” will appear at Porta Plaza and Muromachi Koji Square! A large number of people gathered at each venue, were drawn into the world of dance, and created a wonderful space, and the venue was full of applause.
At the same time as the summer came to a close, the excitement of the 15th Kyoto Student Festival pre-event came to a climax.
