At Sundai Kofu High School in Yamanashi, a first-of-its-kind class to foster international awareness drew about 60 first-year students. Ten international students from five Asian countries, including Nepal and Vietnam, visited from a Tokyo vocational school to share their cultures and famous sites, while the students introduced Yamanashi's attractions and campus life. The participants said the exchange showed they could connect regardless of language and asked questions about food and sports to deepen cross-cultural understanding.
