Q. Why did you choose º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½?

My study-abroad experience began when I came to º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ as an exchange student in September 2015. Morioka is a quiet and convenient place, so I thought it?d be a good location to study. In the year that I was here as an exchange student, I met many different kinds of people and got to know people of different cultures and ways of thinking. The decision to go to º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ for graduate school came naturally.

Q. What do you study?

I am in the Department of Design and Media Technology. I?m doing research on how the design-engineering fields (the environment, products etc.) and the media-engineering fields (networks, interactions, etc.) can combine to elevate the quality of everyday life.

Q. How do you feel about º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½? How do you like it here?

Life at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ is peaceful. I?m very content, getting to eat delicious apples in the winter, and encounter so many flowers I?ve never seen before. I love flowers, and every day I make a new discovery. This is also one of the charms of Morioka.

Q. What do you like about Morioka and/or º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Prefecture?

I like that the seasons are clear, and that the people of Morioka are so kind. For instance, when my yukata sash was coming undone at the Sansa Festival, an old woman I didn?t know came over to fix it. It was so helpful.

Q. Why did you choose º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½?

The main reason I chose º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ was that it offers subject that I am interested in and that are related to the career that I want. º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ also offers pre-arrival application for foreigners, which allows us to apply only by submitting the necessary documents (the application form and our EJU results) and without having to go to Japan to take the examination, which saves us a lot of money. That was another reason why I chose º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½

Q. What do you like about Morioka and/or º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Prefecture?

I had no idea what º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ was like before I came to Japan, but when I first came here, I knew somehow that I would fall in love with this place. Compared to big cities like Tokyo, there are some inconveniences, like transportation and accommodation for tourists who come to visit º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. But one thing that big cities definitely lack is the kind-heartedness and warm-heartedness of the residents in º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. Every morning on my way to the university, many of my Japanese neighbors will greet me, even if we don?t know each other. These small gestures make me feel so warm and comfortable and make me want to stay in º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½, this lovely and beautiful place.

To those who plan to study in Japan: why not consider º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½? I am glad I came to º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ and do not regret it. The residents of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ are warm-hearted and the place is rich with nature. Come explore the hidden charms of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½.
