World Class Science and Technology

You can learn about cutting-edge science, technology and medicine, etc.

Despite its scarce resources, Japan was able to grow economically and become a leading country in manufacturing precisely because of the advanced knowledge and technology fostered by its excellent education system. Using its state-of-the-art science, technology and medicine, Japan has introduced many products to the world, including electric vehicles, digital cameras, optical fibers and artificial hearts. Instant noodles, which have changed the dietary life of the world, and karaoke, are also innovations of Japanese origin.

The practice of transforming innovative ideas into creative products goes far back into Japanese history. Japanese schools focus not only on academic achievements but also on the development of human quality. This aspect of Japanese schools is highly appreciated by international students who think the studying experience in Japan helps them after they start working.

Fascinating Culture

Cultural heritages such as Mt. Fuji and Japanese cuisine and "Omotenashi" hospitality.

Surrounded by the sea, Japan enjoys all four seasons.

In Japan, there are a number of world heritage sites, such as Mt. Fuji, a symbol of Japan, as well as Himeji Castle and Itsukushima Shrine.

Washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine), a registered intangible cultural heritage, is a colorful and healthy food that uses seasonal ingredients and contributes to Japan being one of the countries with the world's highest life expectancies. Japanese people are known to be hardworking and to attach importance to discipline. "Omotenashi" hospitality, the mentality of caring for guests by giving them the highest priority, is second nature to Japanese people, and thus international students are always welcomed warmly.
