Our Campus in Pictures
This spacious central courtyard provides a meeting place for students to interact.
Named after a doctor from Miyazaki, Takaki Kanehiro, known for contributing to the history of nursing education in Japan, this 430-seat auditorium is the setting for university ceremonies as well as public lectures and events.
Serving as the central research hub of the university, the library holdings can be searched online from both on- and off-campus. The library also connects students and researchers with multiple online repositories and databases by which to search for the most up-to-date research. The library, itself, includes space to hold 100 thousand books, journals, and magazines.
The campus cafeteria, as well as a small shop, is located on the first floor. Student club and activity rooms and the student government meeting room are located on the second floor.
A full 1,600 square meters, students can enjoy volleyball, badminton, basketball, and other sports. There is also an active dance circle which practices using the large mirror also located in the Gymnasium. The facility is also equipped with showers and a fitness room including exercise machines and free weights.
Used both for Physical Education courses and by students for individual exercise, the Fitness Room includes stationary bikes, exercise machines, weight training machines, and free weights.
Located just outside the Gymnasium, our campus has three tennis courts used both for Physical Education courses and for practice by the student tennis club.
