‘Focusing on Community, Invigorating Community’

Established in April 2022, the Department of Tourism and Community Development, Faculty of Tourism and Community Development will nurture human resources who can appreciate the history, culture, and nature of various parts of Japan, who think about sustainable community development from the standpoint of tourism, and who contribute to local communities in a multifaceted manner.

As Japan’s population declines, the question of how to sustain the communities in which we live for the next generation is an urgent issue. Those human resources are well sought after, who have a wide range of knowledge and skills relevant to the local environment, society, and economy that they can integrate organically to propose and implement the Tourism and community development measures to help various communities.

In this Faculty, there are no borders between humanities and sciences, and students can learn multiple disciplines that support the community through both theory and practice.
