University of the Ryukyus
Located in Okinawa, a part of the Ryukyu Islands, University of the Ryukyus (Ryudai) boasts unique characteristics that no other university in Japan has. On top of the list of assets that Ryudai enjoys is its subtropical location with a beautiful natural environment both on the land and in the sea.
I personally invite you to come and see for yourself the many things the University of the Ryukyus has to offer.
