Tokyo University of Agriculture, Private university in Setagaya, Japan.
This private institution in Setagaya operates two additional sites in Atsugi and Okhotsk, all centered on agricultural and environmental sciences. The faculties are spread across these three locations, with each site developing its own emphasis in teaching and research.
The institution was established in 1891 and became the first in Japan to specialize exclusively in agricultural science. It has remained the only private institution of this kind in the country.
The Setagaya campus sits in the western part of the capital and combines city life with the focus on agricultural science. Students here work on practical projects that bring together modern food research and environmental technology.
The main campus in Setagaya is accessible by public transport in the western part of the city. The two other sites lie outside Tokyo and require a longer journey if you wish to visit the facilities there.
The site in Abashiri on the northern coast of Hokkaido houses the faculty of bio-industry. Students there experience a subarctic climate and explore farming methods under harsh conditions.
