Japanese students had missions as planners and coordinators, and tour guides during the tour for ‘Omotenashi’, helping international students to learn about Saitama’s traditions and folk crafts. International Students from several universities in Saitama experienced Japanese "washi" paper-making, which was added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list recently and folding hina doll with “Origami” by themselves. Both international and Japanese students learned the tradition and culture of Japan and certainly got to know deeply about Saitama Prefecture throughout this tour.
