The 22nd TENKU FESTIVAL - Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University

イベント

APU’s annual campus festival, the TENKU FESTIVAL, is taking place this October"!
The TENKU FESTIVAL is an event where people of all ages, from children to adults, can participate and experience the multicultural environment of APU, where students from more than 100 countries and regions gather.

This year’s TENKU FESTIVAL is bigger and better! We are planning around 100 booths and activities to welcome more students and community members. At the start of the event, Beppu City Mayor Nagano will join APU President Yoneyama for the opening declaration. We aim to make the festival not just a university event but a celebration for the whole community, creating an exciting atmosphere together.

The theme of this year’s TENKU FESTIVAL is "YOU."
At APU, where people from different backgrounds come together, you are one of the many who contribute to the fabric of diversity. Let’s celebrate your uniqueness together at the TENKU FESTIVAL.
