Hirosaki University

Hirosaki City is situated in the north of Honshu, in what is sometimes called the ‘heartland’ of Japan. While having every modern convenience, the city maintains an aura of tradition due in part because it was built around an ancient castle surrounded by cherry blossom trees, and also because it has numerous historic sites to visit. The city is compact, enabling International students to easily find their way around and the closely-knit community surrounding the campus offers students many first-hand opportunities to practice the Japanese language they study, and taste everyday life in Japan.
