We participate in various international programs, such as the Young Scientist Exchange Program of JSPS.
Every summer, our lab goes on a trip to Karuizawa, a famous resort town in Nagano Prefecture. We stay for a couple of days at Saitama University's cottage there, where we hold a short seminar with research presentations. After the seminar, we relax and enjoy ourselves. We have a BBQ, visit a nearby hot spring, play tennis, hike in the forest, and go sightseeing. Karuizawa is a great place to spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature.
