Konnichiwa!

 

Are you interested in Japanese culture or do you like Japan? Are you a Japanese student? Missing Japan badly? Are you looking for a place to meet with Japanese students or simply want to make friends from different countries? Do you want to experience Japanese traditional events and celebration? Or are you looking for a place to have fun? Japan Society is here for you.

We aim to create a fun environment where Japanese students can meet fellow Japanese students who are currently studying at the University of Leicester. 

We welcome students from all backgrounds/nationalities to join our activities and meet ups!

Some of you may notice that we have been disaffiliated from the university. This was because we were not able to gather a full committee through the election process at the end of last year. However, we have assembled enough people now to get going again in the new academic year and are working to get reaffiliated once the autumn term starts. We will have the bulk of our updates on our instagram and our WhatsApp group chat, so if you are keen, keep an eye out on there!

Some of the events we are planning to host are:

• Meet & Greets
• Japanese Christmas/New Year party
• Japanese food and festival celebration
• Karaoke nights 
• Film nights (Ghibli lovers, this is for you) 
• Game nights (tournaments) 
• Trying calligraphy 
• Making Origami 

 

Hope to see you there!
