It's College Festival Season!
Where do all the young people hang out in Fukui? Does Fukui even have such a population?
If you live outside the bustling city areas of our lovely prefecture, you may have asked yourself such questions at some point. Well, along with fall comes school festival season and yes, even universities join in on the fun. This is when the smart and talented of Fukui invite you onto their campuses to give you a taste of the sweet and easy Japanese college life. You'll get to try traditional dorm junk food, watch clubs show you their stuff, enjoy live music and best of all, you'll get to mingle with people who have free time to hang out and do cool stuff and junk.
Fukui's holding a bunch of said festivals so take a look at the event calendar to see what's what! 楽しんでね！＼(^-^)／
