This year, the Kyushu Four-District Joint IN Kagoshima Training Trip took place on 11/25-26, gathering participants from all four districts. Held for the first time in four years due to the pandemic, the event featured visits to iconic sites like the Chiran Special Attack Peace Museum and sand steaming hot springs in Ibusuki. On the second day, activities included creating accessories with Satsuma Kiriko glass, archery experiences, and a ferry trip to Sakurajima, providing a learning and experiential journey through Kagoshima’s history and culture.

On October 7-8, three ROTEX members and three district committee members escorted inbound students on a peace learning trip to Hiroshima, joined by counterparts from neighboring District 2720, totaling 18 participants. The first day included visits to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Peace Park, where they prayed for peace and dedicated 1,000 origami cranes, crafted at a rate of 100 cranes per Inboun Students, near the Children’s Peace Monument. Later, they visited Miyajima and prayed at Itsukushima Shrine. On the second day, the group traveled by bus to explore the Kintai Bridge and Iwakuni Castle.
