Recommended Posts

Yamaguchi Prefectural University (YPU) is located in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in the western part of Japan's main island between Hiroshima Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture.
Yamaguchi Prefecture has easy access to Japan's main cities via bullet train, airplane, or car. It takes one and a half hours by plane or approximately five hours by bullet train from Tokyo to Yamaguchi. It is three hours from Kyoto/Osaka by bullet train. Yamaguchi is connected to Kyushu by a beautiful bridge crossing over the Kamon Straights and is only about half an hour from Fukuoka by bullet train.
They are taught by 120 full-time teaching staff. The student-teacher ratio is low, and students can receive the utmost support from our teaching staff. We attempt to meet every student's needs, including overseas students, through a system of tutoring by both professors and peers. You will find a friendly atmosphere at the university, and we hope that Yamaguchi and YPU will become your second home. Many overseas students who had attended YPU have come back to Yamaguchi to study further or work on the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (the JET program). We hope you will expand your horizons through the study abroad program we offer.
Do you dream about studying overseas in Japan? What type of cultural exchange programs would you like to participate in while you are here? The International Office is always ready to work with you to ensure you find the right program for you. In addition to regular classes offered to all Japanese students, Yamaguchi Prefectural University offers a unique program for students coming to Japan for the first time.
Yamaguchi Abroad is a comprehensive curriculum that includes Japanese language study, courses in the traditional arts of flower arrangement and tea ceremony, English courses about Japanese culture and society, and four courses that make up our Yamaguchi Studies program. Yamaguchi Studies is a unique collection of four courses covering the history, culture, crafts, and Yamaguchi people. Our talented and knowledgeable faculty teach all courses in coordination with local experts and nationally renowned poets, artists, and scholars. Each course features a combination of in-class and on-location components, which gets you out of the classroom and literally "into" local culture and history.
