[Student's Voice]
◎Name: Junda Wang ◎Country of birth: China
The Sports Business and Information Department requires separate university co-study fees. I train and practice snowboarding with Japanese people, and the classes at JWSC are very interesting. The teachers and students are all kind, and my Japanese has improved. In the future, I want to live in Japan and become a professional snowboarder or snowboard instructor.

[Teacher's Voice]
◎Name: Hideki Otomo ◎Affiliation: Snowboard Department Teacher
Currently, most board sports equipment is made in China or the United States, so the Japanese board sports industry requires specialized knowledge, skiing skills, and language skills, and people who can speak Chinese and English are in demand in Japan. Study board sports at JWSC and aim to find employment in the industry.
