About Meio University

Meio University was establiched in 1994 as a publicly owned private university with funding from 12 cities, towns, and villagegs in the north of Okinawa Island and Okinawa Prefecture. In 2010, it was reborn as a public university. It was given the name "Meio" which ,means "famous cherry blossoms," because of its location in an area famous for its cherry blossoms, which are the earliest blooming in Japan (blooming in late January of each year). Our campus is surrounded by the rich natural environment of the verdant Yambaru region that extends across northern Okinawa Island.

Roughly half of the students at our university come from outside Okinawa Prefecture, hailing from everywhere from Hokkaido in the north to Ishigaki Island in the south, and as they study together, they spur each other on to new heights. Many international students also study at our university, and our campus is both multilingual and multicultural. It is the perfect place to take on new challenges in areas such as academia, cultural exchange, and even outdoor sports.
