On 13 January 2026, Nagoya University Global Campus (Singapore) conducted its first official visit to the Department of Japanese Studies at the National University of Singapore.

The visit provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on Japanese studies and international education. The delegation was warmly received by Associate Professor Beng Choo Lim of the Department of Japanese Studies at the National University of Singapore, who shared the department’s approach to cultural education and its vision for interdisciplinary learning.

During the visit, the team observed both traditional and contemporary aspects of student activities, including the use of a tea ceremony room (chashitsu) and student-led cultural clubs.
