[Okayama University] JR West x Okayama University: International Students Participate in Promoting the Setouchi Area

On June 1, 2026, Okayama University (Kita-ku, Okayama City; President: Tomohiro Nasu) announced that, based on the comprehensive partnership agreement with the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) Okayama Branch, international students from the university appeared in a video promoting the appeal of the Setouchi area. This project was implemented with the goal of widely disseminating the charm of the Setouchi region's rich nature, history, culture, and tourism resources both domestically and internationally. The international students cooperated in the filming as performers, conveying the region's appeal from an international perspective. It is expected that the video will contribute to increasing awareness of the Setouchi area, promoting tourism, and aiding in regional revitalization. Through L-café, Okayama University plans to continue its collaboration with JR West's Okayama Branch to connect international students with the local community and contribute to the revitalization of Okayama Prefecture. Please look forward to the ongoing initiatives of Okayama University as an open, core regional research university. This information was released on May 31, 2026.
