Campus

Kanazawa University has two campuses, Kakuma and Takaramachi-Tsuruma. Kakuma Campus is located in a huge natural setting, and its many orange-tan buildings harmonize with their green surroundings. It offers programs of study in seven faculties: Letters, Education, Law, Economy, Science, Pharmaceutical Science, Engineering, and five schools: Education, Human and Socio-Environment Studies, Natural Science & Technology, Law. It is also the location of the administrative offices of the University.
Takaramachi-Tsuruma Campus is the location of the Faculty of Medicine, and Kanazawa University Hospital with its advanced facilities for diagnosis and treatment, as well as an affiliated cancer Institute. The School of Health Science is located in an area next to the Campus. The Campus is near the downtown core, in the “academic” “Honda-no-mori” culture zone — an area that includes Kenrokuen Garden, Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art and Ishikawa-ken History Museum.
