The security room is located at the entrance of Building No. 100. Security guards are stationed here to assist visitors and keep the campus safe. Since Building No. 100 is built on the slope of a hill, following the geography, so it can be easy to get lost for first time visitors due to its structure. Please ask here for directions if you are unsure about how to get to your destination.
The Monument to Experimental Animals is located in a thicket to the left as you enter the South Gate. It was erected in November 1989 as a way to commemorate the animals used for lab and field work, with an unveiling ceremony held on the 25th of that month. Efforts to erect the monument were led by Kuniji Asai, first dean of the School of Human Sciences. It was crafted using Nebukawa stone, with writing engraved by Keifu Motegi, a resident of Hasuda. A memorial ceremony has been held annually by Naka Yoshitomo, Chief Priest of Nakahikawa Shrine, since the monument was first erected.
Experimental animals are used at the Tokorozawa Campus for research and education to promote health, and deepen understanding of the human body. To express our appreciation to the animals that were sacrificed for this goal, and to renew our awareness and respect for life, an experimental animal memorial ceremony is held on the first Saturday of December every year, in front of the Monument to Experimental Animals. This stone monument emulates the soul of human sciences.
