Josai International University, Private university in Togane, Japan.
Josai International University is a private institution with locations in Togane and the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo. The faculties cover management, tourism, pharmaceuticals, nursing, and international humanities, spread across several buildings in both cities.
The educational corporation founded this institution in the early 1990s as an expansion of its existing network in the Kantō region. The Togane location emerged as the group's second university campus after the one in Sakado.
The name derives from the parent educational group's headquarters in Saitama, while the campus itself sits in a rural setting surrounded by rice paddies. Students from Asian and European countries meet here in smaller classrooms than at Tokyo universities.
The campus buildings are scattered across residential neighborhoods, so a map helps when moving between faculties. Bus stops sit near the main entrances, and bicycles are a common way for students to get around.
Students in the tourism faculty guide visitor groups through the nearby Naritasan Temple in English as part of their training. These practical exercises happen regularly during the semester and bring local landmarks into the classroom curriculum.
