General Information

3 Wayo Women's University U niversity Environment Wayo has convenient access to Tokyo city center and two airports, but is also surrounded by nature. Our campus is located in Ichikawa city, Chiba prefecture, 20 km from central Tokyo. Ichikawa offers easy access to downtown Tokyo (20 minutes by train), Narita International Airport (40 minutes by train) and to Haneda Airport (60 minutes by train). Ichikawa city’s transportation system includes two train lines as well as numerous bus lines. Our Konodai campus, which overlooks the Edo River, was selected as one of the 100 best places in Ichikawa in June 2014. Many students and citizen groups visit our campus to see the Wayo muse- um and the panoramic view from the 18th floor of the East Building. From this dining lounge, you can see snow-capped Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Skytree, the meandering Edo River, the Tokyo skyline, Satomi Park, and a breathtaking night view. Especially in the beginning of April, we enjoy an explosion of delicate cherry blossoms around our campus. Our neighborhood is a place known for its academic institutes, history and literature. There are several schools and university campuses, plus a munici- pal sports center, temples, museums, and the site of a former castle. Combining convenience and natural beauty, Wayo is an outstanding place to study. Many professors go abroad to attend conferences, make presenta- tions or conduct research. International Presentations and Activities Wayo hosts symposia to expand global awareness and knowledge of international so- cial situations. Simultaneous interpretation is provided for these events. ■ International Animation Symposium (2015) ■ The Present Status and Perspectives of Nutritional Assessment and Nutritional Man- agement (2015) ■ Psychological Problems of Students from the UK, China and Japan: Support and Assessment (2016) ■ Child Care Support in Japan and Finland (2019) ■ Cultural Exchange of Spatial and Temporal Art in the Kanji Cultural Area (2019) International Symposia To open the university to citizens and support community development, Wayo offers free exten- sion classes to citizens. We cooperate with vari- ous organizations and with city government to conduct lectures on Wayo’s campus and at other community locations. Citizens greatly enjoy these lectures and experimental classes. Extension Courses R esearch All Wayo professors belong to a Faculty based on each professor’s specialization. They participate in many projects from a multidisciplinary viewpoint to advance education and university studies as well as to make contributions to society through professional re- search.
