The 3 main campuses cater to different academic communities and have the same research culture.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Yoshida Campus<\/b><\/h3>

Yoshida is Kyoto University\u2019s oldest and main campus. The heart of most undergraduate teaching and activities. The campus features historic buildings and contemporary lecture halls, laboratories, libraries, cafeterias and administrative offices. It boasts of its long academic history with its traditional architecture, pathways lined with trees and a clock tower. Yoshida offers a variety of resources, such as large libraries, health service staff, offices for international students, club facilities, and easy public transportation. Large student population is catered for by caf\u00e9s, restaurants and apartments in the surrounding area, as well as shops. Many undergraduate courses are also held here and, in general, the atmosphere of the campus is the most active.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Uji Campus<\/b><\/h3>

Uji Campus is mainly engaged in advanced study in the fields of natural science, energy, chemistry and technology. It has specially equipped laboratories, research institutes and big companies with testing facilities. The campus has a more subdued ambiance and is more research oriented than Yoshida, making it significant for post graduate students, faculty scientists and students engaged in advanced scientific work. If students have to go between Uji and the centre of Kyoto, they need to think carefully about how long it takes them to travel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Katsura Campus<\/b><\/h3>

Katsura Campus is known for engineering, informatics and technology-related research. It has <\/span>Katsura Campus is famed for engineering and informatics\/technology-related research. It is well-equipped with modern buildings, high-quality laboratories and other facilities, which are conducive to cooperative study within the academic department. The large area brings a focused scientific environment. Please note, however, that while Katsura is further from central Kyoto than Yoshida, transport and housing should be taken into consideration.

The three Kyoto University campuses collectively showcase the historic and contemporary teaching environments and research facilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Academic Environment and Facilities<\/b><\/h2>

Kyoto University is one of the institutions where there is a strong tradition of independent thought and learning through research.
