| Environment |
The campus is located on a quiet residential hillside in the northern part of Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It enjoys cheery blossoms in spring, deep green foliage in summer, red and yellow leaves in fall, and the odd sprinkling of snow. On clear sunny days, Mt. Fuji can be seen in the distance.
The campus is very accessible by train or road. The nearest station is Shin-Yurigaoka on the Odakyu Line, about a 20-minute ride from Shinjuku or Shibuya or 30 minutes from Yokohama. There are many public facilities and shopping malls around Shin-Yurigaoka Station. From there, it is a short 10 minute bus-ride to the university. By car, the campus is about a 20 minute drive from the Kawasaki exit of the Tomei Expressway.
