We are proud to inform that Itoshima city has now appointed 19 international students from Kyushu University as Itoshima International Tourism Ambassadors to promote Itoshima tourism by joining local events and attending a series of workshops. Two students, May (standing, third from the right) and Minh (sitting, first from the right) are highly motivated students hailing from our IUPE program who are part of this event. Wishing them success on their new endeavour!

The city of Itoshima that is just adjacent to Kyushu University’s Ito campus is blessed with bounties of nature and scenic places to visit. Itoshima has always been welcoming foreign students with open arms and the people highly understanding.
