National University Center for Japanese Language and Culture

We introduce three centers established at national universities that serve as leading hubs for Japanese language education and research. Each center fosters global intellectual exchange through its activities in Japanese language research and education.

The mission of national universities includes driving innovation by conducting world-class research that addresses the challenges of an uncertain society, cultivating highly specialized professionals who can respond to social change, and nurturing leaders for regional communities while promoting local industries.

Japanese language education and research represent a vital field that embodies these principles. To achieve higher-quality education and research, the Japanese language education and research centers established at national universities collaborate closely, share resources related to Japanese language education, and implement comprehensive programs for language instruction and teacher training.

Furthermore, each center cultivates practical Japanese language skills through education and research in collaboration with society. By advancing educational DX through the use of digital technology, they provide sophisticated and enriching learning environments.
