Mini Nasumira 2026: A Nursing Festival for Students

On August 30, 2026, the event known as Mini Nasumira 2026 will be held, providing middle and high school students with a unique opportunity to explore the nursing profession. Hosted by Mine Healthcare, a company based in Kumamoto, Japan, this festival aims to bridge the gap between education and real-world nursing experiences. With a hybrid format combining both in-person and online participation, this festival is designed to make nursing accessible to all interested students nationwide.

Background of the Event

The idea for Mini Nasumira 2026 was inspired by direct feedback from high school students attending the main Nursing Festival held in July 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight. Many students expressed a desire to hear real stories from nurses working in the field and learn about the day-to-day realities and rewards of a nursing career. Recognizing the need for such interactions to guide students in their educational paths, the festival was organized as an open event for all students aspiring to enter the nursing field.
