Next, as part of fieldwork, the students visited the Omuta City Coal Industry Science Museum, the Miike Karuta History Museum, the Miyahara Pit of the Miike Coal Mine, a World Heritage Site, and Miike Port, where they deepened their learning from the lectures by observing the documents from that time and the actual coal mining site. After that, under the theme of "Students' Envisioning of the Future Omuta," students divided into departments and courses to conduct group work on how to view the region from the perspective of future medical professionals. Each student faced the attractions and challenges of Omuta City and engaged in lively discussions.
