Overview

Overview

Niwa Seminar participates in the "Yamaage Festival" held in Nasukarasuyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, in order to experience regional revitalization and regional issues outside the university. The Yamaage festival is the largest festival in Nasukarasuyama city, consisting of "mountain-raising event of Karasuyama" and "portable shrine of Yakumo Shrine". With a history of more than 450 years, it is the first nationally designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property in Tochigi Prefecture. On November 30, 2016, it was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and a traditional event recognized both domestically and internationally.

We aim to develop human resources who have acquired ideas for regional revitalization through repeated dialogue and participation in the activities not only on the day of the event but also from the preparatory stage.
