Wafuka Festival | Hiroshima International University (Higashihiroshima Campus)Oct 18 (Sat) – 19 (Sun), Hiroshima Prefecture

Named “Morinobori Festival” after the students’ enthusiasm to liven up the local Noboricho area around the Hiroshima campus, the event truly lives up to its name. Centered on the Hiroshima campus, it features many programs that people of all ages can enjoy. I believe that a place where adults and children can interact freely and comfortably is especially valuable nowadays.
