## Shimane Study Abroad Bus Tour Recruitment

Shimane Study Abroad is a program for middle school students living outside the prefecture to apply for and enroll in high schools in Shimane Prefecture, enjoying a fulfilling high school life. This year, 15 prefectural high schools are actively recruiting students from outside the prefecture.

You can also get to know the atmosphere of Shimane's towns.

To help those considering Shimane Study Abroad experience the charm and characteristics of the schools, Shimane Prefecture is organizing the 'Shimane Study Abroad Bus Tour.' We have planned two bus tours, Western and Eastern, visiting five schools each.

This is an excellent opportunity to see the atmosphere of the schools and dormitories, and observe current students with your own eyes—things that cannot be learned from briefings or the internet alone. We will stroll not only through the schools but also the surrounding streets.

Why not join the Shimane Study Abroad Bus Tour and experience the appeal of each school and Shimane Prefecture with your five senses?
