  • Shibuya City Industry and Tourism Vision
    渋谷区 Shibuya City Preface Preface In October 2016, Shibuya City established the Shibuya City Basic Concept with the goal of becoming a mature international city on par with London, Paris, and New York. The goal is to use diversity as a driving force, with our vision of the future: 'Shibuya—turning difference into strength'. One element of the Basic Concept is setting a direction for the Shibuya City Long-Term Basic Plan of 'A city with businesses unafraid to take risks', which is a future vision of industry and tourism unique to Shibuya City. Each area in Shibuya City has its own unique charm with a collection of various businesses and shops, and a great number of visitors from inside Japan and overseas, making it a place overflowing with diversity. With the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games being held this year, 2020 is our chance for Shibuya City to become a mature international city. In this regard, I believe we must make even further progress in industry and tourism policies for the future of the city. To accomplish this, I believe a plan that further details the policies in the Long-Term Basic Plan is necessary, which is why the Industry and Tourism Vision has been established. Industry and tourism in Shibuya City faces a wide range of challenges that must be tackled, including environmental improvements and safety issues for accepting inbound tourism and industry. In order to further revitalize the shopping districts and small to medium sized businesses in the city, I also believe it is important to take on new challenges such as building a startup ecosystem and nighttime economy.

  • Kogakuin-Uni Information 2018.Pdf
    Message from the President Message from Message from the President Let Infinite Possibilities Bloom What do you think society seeks from future technicians and researchers? The answer is not apparent by merely looking at the present. That is because science and technology continue to advance. Having your own dreams is the first step that leads to society’s evolution. Please be sure to dream big. Even if your dreams aren’t realistic, that’s okay, since marvelous growth doubtless waits at the end of efforts to make your splendid dreams a reality. Society has long valued our alumni highly, particularly for their creativity. Our unique education process greatly affects those outcomes. Our role is to support your self-fulfillment by providing opportunities to understand the nature of things through hands-on experience, including project- based learning, working out tasks in practical ways, and encountering various phenomena through experiments and training. We also offer internships to acquaint technicians and researchers with the attributes that are needed, as well as club activities, student projects, and other extracurricular activities. Kogakuin University will continue growing together with students. Our goal is to provide core support for Japan as a scientific and technological nation by producing technicians and researchers who can solve problems through the power of science and technology. As specific measures toward that end, we established the School of Advanced Engineering in 2015—the first university in Japan to do so—and reorganized our Faculty of Informatics in 2016. This sort of expansion of studies into new regions is based on the spirit of artisanship that has been passed down since the university was founded.
