“GoTo-CHI (ご当地) Presentation Battle in English" was held on Thursday, July 3, 2025, at the International Commons on the Aoyama Campus.
The purpose of this event was to convey to international students the attractions of various areas of Japan, and four groups of AGU students gave presentations in English about their hometowns or other regions to which they are related.

Though the presenters seemed nervous, they gave their speech enthusiastically with ingenious PowerPoint presentations. The audience was roughly half international students and half AGU non-international students, and everyone listened to the presentations with great interest. During each question-and-answer section, a variety of questions were asked about the presentations, and the presenters answered them carefully in English while having fun at the same time. The bingo game held during the opening of the polls seemed a lot of fun, and the students cheered as each number came up. Although the crowd was slightly smaller than usual, the event ended with a lot of fun and a friendly atmosphere from start to finish.

More than 30 participants, including the speakers, AGU students and faculty members, visited the event. We would like to thank all the speakers who took the stage and participants, who enjoyed the active interaction each other.
