On December 16, a group of 30 students and faculty from Kumamoto Prefectural Kamoto High School, Japan, and on December 17, 14 faculty and students from the 2024 Indonesian Winter Camp visited Tamkang University. Hosted by the Office of International and Cross-Strait Affairs, the visits included campus tours, course experiences, and discussion sessions to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the university, encouraging cross-national enrollment.
The delegation from Kamoto High School began their visit at the Chueh Sheng Memorial Library, where they learned about the library’s collections and facilities.

This was followed by a specially designed class experience led by Associate Professor Akira Tomita from the Department of Japanese. The session highlighted Tamkang’s distinctive features, Taiwan’s linguistic diversity, and language policies.
