Overview

The Field Science Center’s mission is to provide fields for practical education and advanced research that cannot be experienced in our campuses in Tokyo. The center has “Marine Field” targeting the sea and saltwater species and “Inland-Water Field” targeting freshwater species. In these fields, five experimental stations and a branch are placed to be utilized not only for a variety of research activities but also for various practice courses for students, including orientation for freshmen. The center also plays a role as contact point for local communities and industries.
