REPORT OF VISIT TO TSUKUBA UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
I am an ENT resident of Khon Kaen university, Thailand. This is my first time in Japan.
I spent 3 weeks at Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Tsukuba University hospital from April 8th to April 27th, 2019. I really enjoyed beautiful cherry blossoms around this hospital.
