Campus of Kyushu University


The origins of Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, lie in the establishment of Fukuoka Medical College in 1903, which was affiliated with Kyoto Imperial University. In 1911, Kyushu Imperial University was founded. In 1947, after World War II ended, the university changed its name to Kyushu University. The University is composed of six campuses: Chikushi, Hospital, Ito, Ohashi, Hakozaki, and Beppu. There are numerous historic buildings dating back to the many phases of history the university has seen. The Third Residential Complex on-campus has a western-style design and is reserved for foreign students. The complex dates back to 1924 and has been designated as a Municipal Cultural Property.

Maidashi Campus

The Maidashi campus is the oldest campus and has many historic structures. It is located in Maidashi, which was once a quarter in the outskirts of Fukuoka-City, but nowadays is part of the Eastern district.

University Hospital

There are several facilities for the bodies of anatomical donors. The Charnel House is a Japanese-style house built in 1939, but nowadays there is a funeral chapel in the new Hospital Building. Donor bodies are cremated in a crematorium. There is also a monument demonstrating the gratitude and respect for those who donated their body for medical research and education.

Memorial Streets

Generally, all former Imperial Universities have statues commemorating famous alumni and professors. On the Maidashi campus of Kyushu University, streets are named after them.
The Hakozaki Campus is located about 1 km east of the Maidashi Campus. It is scheduled to be relocated to the Ito campus.
