What is the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department?

(1) Activities
With the aim of encouraging junior high and high school students nationwide to “study at a university in Kyoto” and “live a student life in Kyoto,” university students studying in Kyoto gather and post articles planned, interviewed, and photographed from the student’s perspective on the website “Kotokare” and SNS to convey “the real charm of Kyoto that I want to convey to junior high and high school students.”

《Operating media》WEB site “Kotokare” 

(2) Background of establishment
Kyoto City is home to 38 universities and junior colleges, and approximately 150,000 students, or 10% of the population, are a “university town and student town.” However, as the number of 18-year-olds declines over the long term and competition among universities is expected to intensify further, it is necessary to actively disseminate the appeal of Kyoto as a “university city and student city” to junior high and high school students who will become university students in the future.
Therefore, as a new initiative from the 27th academic year in collaboration with Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto, we have established the “Kyoto Student Public Relations Department” to disseminate to junior and senior high school students nationwide from the perspective of students the “real charm of Kyoto” that university students studying in Kyoto experience while living their student life.

【Introduction】Local cup noodles supervised by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee were released nationwide on 2/27 (Monday)!

Kyoto Student Festival collaborates with Nissin Foods Co., Ltd.’s local cup noodles

20170213-05Supervised by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee, Nissin Foods Co., Ltd.’s Nissin Noodle Nippon series “Kyoto Back Fat Soy Sauce Ramen” has been on sale nationwide since Monday, February 27.

The “Nissin Noodle Nippon” series has been sold by Nissin Foods Co., Ltd. as a “local noodle brand that enlivens various noodle cultures rooted in various parts of Japan together with the community” so far.

This was the first attempt to be supervised by a student group, and the finished ramen was inspired by the Kyoto ramen style of “back fat chacha ramen” and topped with Kujo green onions unique to Kyoto. Kyoto students recognize it as a true “taste of Kyoto”. It is finished in a dish that we are proud of. It is sold at convenience stores and supermarkets nationwide, so if you are interested, please try it!

◆ Development (Comment by the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee)

Approximately 100 university students who belong to the Kyoto Student Festival Executive Committee tasted the ramen and aimed for the taste of ramen that is unique to Kyoto from the students’ point of view. By being involved in the development of Kyoto’s local ramen, we have reaffirmed the charm of Kyoto’s ramen and the charm of Kyoto’s food culture, and the Kyoto Student Festival will convey the charm of Kyoto from a new aspect.

◆ Product Outline

What is the Kyoto Student Festival?

The Kyoto Student Festival is a festival that has been held every October since 2003 in the Okazaki area of Kyoto (in front of Heian Jingu Shrine and the Okazaki Promenade) with the aim of enlivening Kyoto with the power of students and disseminating the charm of Kyoto to the whole country.
It is planned and operated mainly by students in Kyoto, and is supported by Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, the business community, universities, and the local community in “All Kyoto”.

2017 marks the 15th anniversary of the event.

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Kyoto Student Festival. This time, we will create a new value of “Kyoto student culture” and widely disseminate its appeal while collaborating with various cultural projects with the keywords “Kyoto,” “students,” and “culture.” Event information will be released from time to time, so please visit the official website of the Kyoto Student Festival for details.

We are looking for sponsors!

At the Kyoto Student Festival, we are collaborating with companies in various ways, including the development of collaborative products such as this one. We are currently looking for sponsors for 2017, so if you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
