Homecoming Day in Ookayama is an annual event that brings the Science Tokyo community together. On this day each year, Science Tokyo opens its doors to reunite former students and educators, promote meaningful connections between current students and alumni, and welcome members of the local community to learn more about Science Tokyo.
