[Japanese pages here]

The International Office, assisting exchange and research students, facilitating overseas short programs and incoming Japanese language intensives and other group programs, has moved to the 4th floor of the new Administration Building.

Responsibility for overseas undergraduate students (ryugakusei) has been transferred to the Student Affairs Office (Gakuseika) located on the first floor of this building.

Accommodation is provided for visiting groups (up to 18 people) in the Doho-kan (International House), located on the southeast side of campus, close by Kino village.
