Our Tokorozawa Campus, located in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, is rich in nature. Its atmosphere is completely different from the campuses in Tokyo.
In the Sayama Hills around the campus, the Natural Environmental Research Office and volunteer students in the campus work together to manage paddy fields, helping to conserve the natural environment and wetlands.
Why don’t you take on the challenge of harvesting delicious rice while interacting with international students and local residents at the Tokorozawa Campus, which is rich in nature?
Let’s have fun together in nature!
