In a green and quiet environment in Metropolitan Tokyo

SHINSEIKAN

This modern structure, with one underground and seven aboveground floors was completed in July 2001. As would be expected in a metropolitan university, research and education is supported by facilities to meet the demands of the information age.

MAIN HALL

Located at the entrance to the campus, this building, designed by the Czech-born architect Antonin Raymond and designated by the Architectural Institute of Japan as a modern Japanese architectural heritage site, is the symbol of Hoshi University.

The library holds 123,000 books mainly in the fields of natural science including medical science and pharmaceutics. Currently 3,700 titles of electronic journals are accessible. The academic achievements of our faculty are openly accessible via Stella (institutional repository). In addition to the reading rooms of the library, students can use the learning commons for individual and group study.
