Campus Information
Kyoto University consists of three campuses: Yoshida, Uji, and Katsura, as well as a number of facilities located across Japan.
1. Yoshida Campus
The Yoshida Campus has been at the core of the university's activities since its founding. In particular, the main campus is home to structures of varying architectural styles, ranging from brick buildings dating back to the time of the institution's establishment-such as the Clock Tower Centennial Hall that serves as the symbol of the university-to modern laboratory buildings. It can truly be said to represent the history of Kyoto University in tangible form. The Yoshida Campus is further subdivided into seven sections.

2. Uji Campus
Formerly owned by the Imperial Army, the site of the Uji Campus came into the possession of Kyoto University in 1949. The campus is now home to a collection of research institutes and centers, and large-scale testing facilities devoted to work in natural science and energy related fields. But even though the campus hosts many state-of-the-art laboratories engaged in the development of cutting edge science and technology, it is rich in greenery and enjoys a tranquil suburban setting.
3. Katsura Campus
Kyoto University's third campus, the Katsura Campus, consists of four Clusters. Conceived as a "Techno-science Hill," the Katsura Campus is a locus where technology and science merge in exciting new ways. This new base for exploring fresh areas of knowledge opened in October 2003 -a place where technology, regions, and nature blend and interact in sophisticated ways, and where research in engineering and informatics is undertaken based on a new paradigm for the 21st century.
