On 5 November 2016, the Department of Japanese Studies and the Japanese Studies Alumni Group organised a dinner party at the NUSS Suntec City Guild House to celebrate the Department's 35th anniversary. More than 60 former and present staff, alumni members and guests attended the special event. Participants were treated to an awesome night of good food, exciting games, and attractive prizes. Special thanks to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Office of Alumni Relations and the Kagoshima Prefectural Government for their sponsorship of door gifts and prizes!
