下記は参加者の感想です。
YEE MON MON OO(介護福祉コース/ミャンマー)
日本の道は狭く、ミャンマーと違って左側通行なので、最初は車とぶつからないか毎日不安でした。しかし、今日の交通安全教室で一時停止の大切さや正しいルールを学べたので、これからは安全第一で、安心して自転車に乗りたいと思います。とても勉強になりました。
HTET HTET WAI(介護福祉コース/ミャンマー)
交通安全教室で、重い荷物をカゴに乗せ、片手で傘をさして運転しました。バランスが取れず、ハンドルがふらつく恐怖になりました。信号待ち、横断歩道、交差点での旋回ー。普段の何気ない運転が、実はこれほど危険と隣り合わせだったとは。自転車は便利な乗り物ですが、一歩間違えれば凶器にもなり得ます。今日から私は「急がない、油断しない」を徹底します。皆さんも、自分と大切な人の命を守るために、改めて自転車の乗り方を見直してみましょうか。
SOK LIKHEANG(介護福祉コース/カンボジア)
今回の交通安全教室に参加して、交通ルールを守ることの大切さを改めて学びました。危険を予測して行動することが重要だと感じました。これからは自分自身だけでなく、周りの人の安全にも気を配りながら生活していきたいと思います。 学んだこと役に立ちます。
ZUN THANDAR KO(食健康コース/ミャンマー)
交通安全教室で自転車の細かいルールを知ることができ、不安がなくなりました。前カゴに荷物を入れすぎると危険なことや、横断歩道の渡り方がとても勉強になりました。歩行者や自転車の安全を細かく配慮してくれる日本のルールは素晴らしく、本当に安心感があります。
LAU SHING CHI(食健康コース/英国)
今日はみんなで一緒に参加できてよかったです。僕は自動車学校に通っているので、自転車に乗るときのルールを知っています。自転車と車は道路を共有する仲間なので、お互いにルールを守って助け合いましょう。今日は試乗者になってみて、傘を差したまま運転するのは危ないと感じました。天気が悪いときは、レインコートを着て周りの状況をよく確認しながら乗りましょう。
SI THU AUNG(多文化コース/ミャンマー)
正直に言うと私は母国にいる時は雨の日の傘差し運転したり、二人乗りしたりしていました。来日して約1年になりますが、自分の誤解や知らなかった点に気づきました。例えば、車が歩行者や自転車を最優先する日本の文化にも深く感銘を受けました。ミャンマーとの交通事情の違いや、日本の交通ルールや安全意識の高さに驚きました。交通安全教室は、日本での生活に必要な知識を学び、安全意識を高める貴重な機会となりました。私はルールを厳守し、安全な生活を心掛けたいと思います。
交通安全教室に参加し、他クラスの学生とも交流できて楽しかったです。特に自転車の実演を通して、交通ルールを学びながら楽しく交流できたことが印象に残りました。
/ On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, our university held a Traffic Safety Orientation for International Students. This program was conducted for the seventh consecutive year with the cooperation of Ms. Baba and other representatives of the Saga City International Association, as well as Mr. Kuriyama and staff members from the Traffic Safety and Crime Prevention Section of the Saga City Public Safety Division.![]()
A total of 85 international students participated, including 37 first-year students from the Care and Welfare Course, 32 first-year students from the Multicultural Course, and 16 first-year students from the Food and Health Course. The orientation provided an opportunity for students to learn the traffic rules and manners necessary for living safely and comfortably in Japan and to raise their awareness of traffic safety.
During the session, participants first received an introduction to the activities and various events organized by the Saga City International Association. This was followed by an explanation of bicycle safety rules, important precautions, and key points for preventing traffic accidents. In the gymnasium, students also took part in practical exercises, including experiencing the dangers of one-handed bicycle riding, such as riding while holding an umbrella.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the members of the Saga City International Association and the Traffic Safety and Crime Prevention Section of the Saga City Public Safety Division for their valuable cooperation despite their busy schedules. Our university will continue to strengthen collaboration with local organizations and promote an environment in which international students can study and live safely and comfortably.![]()
The following are comments from the participants.
YEE MON MON OO (Care and Welfare Course / Myanmar)
Roads in Japan are narrow, and unlike in Myanmar, traffic keeps to the left side, so I was worried every day at first about the possibility of being involved in an accident. However, through today's traffic safety orientation, I learned the importance of coming to a complete stop and following the proper traffic rules. From now on, I will put safety first and ride my bicycle with greater confidence and care. It was a very valuable learning experience.
HTET HTET WAI (Care and Welfare Course / Myanmar)
During the traffic safety orientation, I rode a bicycle while carrying a heavy load in the basket and holding an umbrella with one hand. I could not keep my balance, and the wobbling handlebars made me feel frightened. Waiting at traffic lights, crossing crosswalks, and turning at intersections—these everyday actions can actually be very dangerous. Bicycles are convenient, but if used carelessly, they can become a serious hazard. From today, I will make it a rule never to rush and never to let my guard down. I encourage everyone to review their cycling habits in order to protect both their own lives and the lives of those around them.
SOK LIKHEANG (Care and Welfare Course / Cambodia)
By participating in this traffic safety orientation, I once again learned the importance of following traffic rules. I realized that it is essential to anticipate potential dangers and act accordingly. From now on, I want to be mindful not only of my own safety but also of the safety of those around me. What I learned today will be very useful in my daily life.
ZUN THANDAR KO (Food and Health Course / Myanmar)
Through the traffic safety orientation, I was able to learn the detailed rules for riding a bicycle, which helped ease my concerns. I learned that putting too much luggage in the front basket can be dangerous, and I also gained valuable knowledge about how to cross at pedestrian crossings safely. I think Japan’s traffic rules are excellent because they carefully consider the safety of both pedestrians and cyclists, which gives me a strong sense of security.
LAU SHING CHI (Food and Health Course / United Kingdom)
I was glad that everyone could participate together today. Since I am currently attending driving school, I already know many of the rules for riding bicycles. Bicycles and cars share the same roads, so it is important for all road users to follow the rules and help one another. Today, I volunteered as a participant in the cycling demonstration and realized how dangerous it is to ride while holding an umbrella. When the weather is bad, it is better to wear a raincoat and pay close attention to your surroundings while riding.
SI THU AUNG (Multicultural Course / Myanmar)
To be honest, when I was in my hometown, I sometimes rode a bicycle while holding an umbrella in the rain and even rode with a passenger. Although I have been living in Japan for about a year, this orientation helped me recognize some misunderstandings and things I did not know before. For example, I was deeply impressed by Japan’s culture of giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists. I was also surprised by the differences between the traffic conditions in Myanmar and Japan, as well as by Japan’s detailed traffic rules and high level of safety awareness.
The traffic safety orientation was a valuable opportunity to learn the knowledge necessary for daily life in Japan and to improve my awareness of traffic safety. I intend to follow the rules carefully and strive to live safely.
I also enjoyed participating in the orientation because it gave me the chance to interact with students from other classes. What impressed me most was being able to learn traffic rules and have fun communicating with others through the bicycle safety demonstrations.
