The University of Shizuoka was founded in 1987 in Yada, Shizuoka City, from where majestic Mt. Fuji can be seen. As Shizuoka Prefecture’s highest institution of learning, the University has been a center for advanced education and research, and has contributed to the local and global community ever since then.
Thousands people graduated in the history of the Shizuoka Prefectural Univers...ity Corporation have been active in and out of the prefecture. From the Shizuoka Women"s Pharmaceutical School as a source, the university has a history of women"s higher education from the early stage, and also there is a philosophy of the university that is proud of the people of Shizuoka prefecture.
Shizuoka is located in the center of the Japanese archipelago where four plates converge. There are large-scale natural phenomena such as earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami,etc. in the archipelago, and we live in the rich blessing of such nature.
From such point of view, Shizuoka Prefecture is a very distinctive area. Mt.Fuji is Japan"s largest active volcano with height and mountain size. It is an active young volcano that grew rapidly in recent 100 thousands years. On the other hand, Suruga Bay reaches the deepest water depth of 2,500 m, which is the deepest bay in Japan. Such feature of nature has brought up Shizuoka"s rich ground.
With the concerted efforts of five faculties and several graduate schools, junior colleges, and research institutes, the University of Shizuoka managed by the Shizuoka Prefectural University Corporation conducts educational research activities to establish itself as a “valuable university in which local citizens take pride.”
Our mission:

• To strive for assiduous development
• To promote excellence in education and high-level academic research
• To maintain a learning environment centered on a high quality of academic life
• To establish management structures that enhance its value
• To be open to citizens as it collaborates with local communities

In the wonderful natural environment of Shizuoka prefecture, I hope that students will be able to greatly enjoy their university life and graduate as a person who can transmit the charm of Shizuoka prefecture to the world together with learning outcomes.
One of the unique aspects of the University is the highly fruitful research in the area of health and longevity sciences. One of the most prominent examples is research into tea, a product which Shizuoka Prefecture is best known for. The research on tea at the University is undertaken with the goal of informing the world at large about what makes green tea such an engaging commodity, not just from a scientific perspective but from a cultural perspective as well.
Discussions of the future development of Japan should focus on the goal of achieving a “mature society.” Japan is at a point where it must place priorities not just on economic growth and material wealth, but on the quality of life of each of its people.
To cultivate human resources who can enrich society in the coming years, we at the University of Shizuoka are committed to bringing together knowledge from all of our schools―Pharmaceutical Sciences, Food and Nutritional Sciences, International Relations, Management and Information, and Nursing―to provide superior educations and conduct research of high academic value.
Shizuoka Prefecture possesses the potential to achieve development on a global scale, especially since Mt. Fuji was inscribed in 2013 on UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage list. We at the University are making concerted efforts to attract students and researchers from other countries so that we can become a stronger force propelling international exchange between Shizuoka Prefecture and the rest of the world.
