At Japanese universities, extracurricular activities are an integral part of student life and are often considered by students to be even more important than classes. Inter-collegiate and intramural athletics, academic and interest clubs, and recreational circles offer students a variety of opportunities to participate in organized extracurricular activities. By encouraging interaction among students, such programs foster team spirit, build character, and often lead to lifetime friendships.
