It is a well-known fact that Japanese students are keen to participate in school club activities from an early age, and it is no exception when they go to university.
There are many student clubs at various universities in Japan. In addition to the common, imaginable clubs, such as tea ceremony and flower arrangement clubs, various sports clubs, etc., there are some... hmm… Rather peculiar groups.
And often the more famous the university, the more bizarre some clubs. Today, Xiaotong is going to take you to count five very representative magical clubs.
1. Let's celebrate: "Long Live Alliance"
Waseda University's "Banzai Alliance" was the first existence that shocked Kotsu. Many Japanese universities have support agencies, but Waseda University's Banzai Alliance is unique.
To put it simply, the Banzai Alliance is a group of people who come together to celebrate. In addition to celebrating the things worth celebrating, they can be seen at entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies and other on-campus events, weddings and even TV shows, as long as you call them over, you can give customers a warm celebration...
The purpose of the club's activities is also very enthusiastic and unrestrained: to take the joy of others as one's own joy, and to spread the spirit of happiness to the whole country.
"Let's celebrate!"
2. Let's turn the pen together: "Turn the pen research meeting"
Keio University, another private university on the same level as Waseda University, has a club called the "Pen Turning Society", which is the only club in Japan that specializes in pen turning.
Whether you are preparing for the World Pencil Congress, or those who want to learn more pencil skills, you can enter this club to study and learn to spin pen.
*During the Keio University School Festival, members of the pen club patiently instructed the children who came to visit how to turn the pen
Pen spinning is now not just an ordinary pastime game, there are even national competitions in Japan, and there are even global competitions every year, and more and more students are willing to join this club just to master the art of pen turning.
3. Let's wander together: "Sleep station club"
Kyoto University, a famous science school, has a "camping club" where members sleep together in the station.
Hmm…… Xiaotong said that this is the most bizarre one to see now.
On the homepage of the club, a brief introduction to the club: Camping in the wild in Japan, in a sense, is a travel club (Xiaotong: HMM... ）。 However, at night, I basically slept in the open at various stations.

4. Let's study together: "Research Group"
As you can tell from the name, this Waseda club has gathered a group of students who love to take the qualification examination. Daily club activities are for everyone to study together and take various qualifications...... It's really a group of students who love learning.
Even the club's official Twitter painting style is also learning and learning, researching and researching, and is very positive:

5. Let's play hide and seek together: "Hide and seek"
Another magical society that has never been heard of before. "A club that does its best to play hide and seek" is a club at Keio Juku (Kotsu wants to ask if there are more whimsical ideas at private universities...). ）。
The purpose of the club's activities is to play hide and seek thoroughly... You can even make an appointment with their club.
Xiaotong went to observe their club homepage, and it was also different and ingenious......
The homepage of the club's website
Hiding Locations on the top page:
In the fire, in the water, in the forest, in the soil (??) ), Kawazato, Yamanato, Ikebukuro, Mita, Hiyoshi, Shinano-cho, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Takadanobaba, Komaba, Hongo (all hid to Todai?) ), Ochanomi, Yagami, and the man's short skirt (ah?????? ）......
Xiaotong really convinced the brains of Japanese college students, and even a pen and hide and seek can be so secondary.
However, it is also a joy to be able to find like-minded play partners in the university club. I wish these clubs more and more popular haha!
