[Green Festival Overview]

In the spring of 1988, the university's Memorial Hall, which seats approximately 700 people, was completed. Since then, the Green Festival has been held in this hall, featuring classical music, traditional Japanese performing arts, theater, films, and other artistic works. The events are planned by faculty members who specialize in each field, and the festival has continued for over 30 years as an important cultural activity of the university. Some student club performances are also part of this event. Admission is free. We invite you to spend a fulfilling time at our Memorial Hall. We look forward to your visit.
