　Annual cultural exchange event for international students and the local community (Members of Iwakubo Resident’s Association) was held at International Residence Hall Annex on Saturday, Nov. 23 2019.
　This was the 16th event and nearly 200 people including Mr. Yuichi Higuchi, the Mayor of Kofu City, and Dr. Yoshiyuki Sugiyama, the Executive Director and vice president of University of Yamanashi took part in the event.
　International students introduced their cultures by entertaining community members with their hand-made dishes. There were 26 kinds of dishes from 11 countries (China, Pakistan, Malaysia, Germany, U.K., France etc.), and all these traditional dishes were so much tasty.
　As the highlight of the event, international students experienced Mochi-tsuki (pounding steamed sticky rice into rice cake) with the kind guidance by the members of Iwakubo Resident’s Association.
　After enjoying the mochi, participants enjoyed chorus by the international students as well as traditional dram performance by Iwakubo Resident’s Association. It was such a heart-warming day that further strengthened the tie between international students and local community.
