  • Welcome to the Kashiwa Campus of the University of Tokyo
    Welcome to the Kashiwa Campus of The University of Tokyo Adventures in Knowledge Kashiwa campus is the newest of the three main campuses of The University of Tokyo in addition to campuses at Hongo and Komaba, and was established with the vision of building a new community with a strong interdisciplinary and international character that can respond to the dynamic scientific and educational needs of the 21st Century. Hongo campus, the nucleus of academic activities at The University of Tokyo since its founding in 1877, and Komaba campus, focusing on undergraduate studies and building interdisciplinary links between established fields of study for over 60 years, have longstanding academic traditions. The Kashiwa campus recently joined this family and brings with it a fundamental reorganization of the structure of traditional academic disciplines, rethinking the framework of how knowledge is created and organized. Under the slogan of “adventures in knowledge”, the Kashiwa campus has started a range of new initiatives. The Graduate School of Frontier Sciences (GSFS) consists of three divisions each with relevant departments: Division of Transdisciplinary Sciences, Division of Biosciences, and Division of Environmental Studies, and one independent unit: Department of Computational Biology. GSFS aims to create new frontiers of academic fields. The Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) is exploring a wide variety of phenomena exhibited by various materials from the viewpoint of basic science using state-of-art experimental facilities and techniques. Materials under study include those forming the basis of today's high-tech society and its future development. The Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) is pursuing the origins of the universe and matter through research on cosmic rays.

  • Land Readjustment for Transit-Oriented Suburbanization and Land Value Capture the Case of Tsukuba Express and the Kashiwanoha Campus Township
    Land Readjustment for Transit-oriented Suburbanization and Land Value Capture The case of Tsukuba Express and the Kashiwanoha Campus Township Japan Project Brief Background and Objectives Tsukuba Express is the latest large-scale suburban rail extension that integrates private housing development and public infrastructure investment in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The 58.3-km line with 20 stations came into operation in 2005 to offer fast travel between central Tokyo (Akihabara) and the nation’s largest research hub (Tsukuba Science City) by serving several satellite towns across four prefectures. The new train service takes around 45 minutes from end to end at the maximum speed of 130 km per hour. When the development plan of Tsukuba Express was proposed, the demand for housing was rapidly swelling over Tokyo and the existing commuting line around the northeast area of Tokyo was seriously congested as there were no alternative modes and routes in the area. To meet the surging demand for both suburban housing and transportation capacity, the national government enacted the Housing-Railway Integration Law of 1989 for the development of Tsukuba Express. Two years later, the Metropolitan Intercity Railway Company was established jointly with several local governments and private entities along the new railway corridor. The company skillfully took advantage of zero- interest loans and land readjustment projects to reduce the cost of rail construction, since other suburban rail lines struggled with the payment of loan interests during the 1980’s and 1990’s. Project Overview Kenkyu-gakuen Tsukuba Banpaku-kinenkoen Midorino Special Land Readjustment Practices Major town developmentarea Miraidaira The national government introduced a “special” Ibaragi Prefecture land readjustment approach that aims to Moriya supply a large volume of new housing lots into Kashiwanoha-campus Kashiwa-Tanaka the high-demand market together with fast rail Saitama Prefecture infrastructure and services to and from central Nagareyama-otakanomori Nagareyama-centralpark Tokyo.
