Happy new year to all of you. I sincerely hope that this year will be a wonderful year for everyone.

On January 4, 2023, the Edo Culture Center held an entrance ceremony for 10 new students in January under a refreshing blue sky.
Today’s weather was quite chilly although the sunlight was pleasant for Japanese people. That’s why new students from Sri Lanka and Vietnam who came from southern countries are babbling. However, the brave boys from Mongolia and Uzbekistan pretended that it wasn’t cold at all. The two freshmen from South Korea had a poker face that didn’t know either of them.

New students are completely different in the environment they grew up in, the food, and the culture. By some strange fate, all of these people have gathered here at Akasaka’s Edo Culture Center. From now on, I want you to have a fulfilling study abroad life with many foreign friends.
