Hyogo Prefecture has been Japan's number one sake-producing region since the Edo period. In recent years, with the boom in Japanese food overseas, experiencing sake has become a major reason for foreigners to travel to Japan, and cities and the tourism industry in the prefecture are actively promoting the town of sake to attract tourists. In class, students learn about the relationship between sake and the region from professors of Japanese history, architecture, and nutrition at our university, as well as city and company representatives working on tourism promotion. A wide range of knowledge is needed to consider tourism in the future, and the crossover of academic fields is indeed important. Students will also receive training outside of school. They will deepen their understanding of local tourism by actually going out into the city and seeing it with their own eyes.

This class provides the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in the hospitality industry, and you can learn highly specialized content from Lecturer with extensive practical experience.
