Yokohama Campus highlights
Surrounded by lush greenery, Yokohama Campus on the border of Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture provides an ideal environment for both pioneering research and focused learning. Beyond its natural beauty, the campus features iconic landmarks such as Suzukake Hall and the architecturally advanced J2 and J3 Buildings, known for their world-class seismic resilience.
Starting April 1, 2026, Suzukakedai Campus is officially renamed Yokohama Campus.
