History

PAX MUNDIPER LINGUAS

school motto

World Peace through Languages

After World War II, university founders Ichiro Morita and Shizuko Morita believed that it was imperative for the realization of world peace that Japanese people acquire foreign language skills and deepen their understanding of the countries and regions where these languages are spoken. Based on this conviction, they established a university in Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital. Today, that university’s motto, PAX MUNDI PER L INGUAS （World Peace through Languages）, holds greater meaning than ever for achieving true understanding among the people of the world. The university ’s motto encourages us to build a unique peace network by learning various different languages and cultures and promoting exchange with people around the world.

Ichiro Morita Shizuko Morita

ince its foundation in 1947, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies has provided unique educational programs featuring multilingual and multicultural education in Kyoto, the heart of Japanese culture. On an international campus where students from around the world forge interpersonal connections across diverse linguistic and racial backgrounds, the

university continues to produce multifaceted human resources with global perspectives.S

PROFESSORS


We develop professionals capable of establishing tourism businesses in companies found in a wide range of fields, including traditional tourism industries, such as travel agencies, hotels, airline companies, and hospitality enterprises. A range of business conditions are changing in food tourism, eco/green tourism, spiritual tourism, and sports tourism, and the demand for professionals who have studied tourism continues to grow. Employment in government and public sectors and in NPOs / NGOs with regional development expertise will also be an important career path for graduates.

We develop professionals who can not only work in existing tourism sectors such as the

travel, hotel, and airline industries, but also promote tourism as a form of multicultural

exchange. You will gain an understanding of contemporary tourism issues from a global

perspective, through studying an array of subjects that includes tourism, policy science, and

environmental studies. From your second semester, you can choose one of two courses: the

“Tourism Policy Course,” in which you will study tourism as a form of cultural policy, and the

“Tourism Business Course,” in which you will engage in the tourism business in a wide variety

of fields.

Discover Possibilities

1 Learn about new tourismindustries as a form of multicultural exchange

One of the characteristics of this department is to redefine the

concept of tourism in the broader scope of multicultural exchange. In

addition to studying traditional tourism sectors such as the travel,

hotel, and airline industries, you will also learn about how tourism

should function as an experience or opportunity for exchange, such

as in food tourism, spiritual tourism, and sports tourism. You will

create new values in the tourism industry from several angles, such as

tourism that communicates the fascination of Japan to the world, and

tourism that serves as a methodology for regional development.

Our university is located in Kyoto, an international city of culture

and tourism. In addition to studying Community Engagement （a

required subject within the faculty）, you will conduct fieldwork and volunteer activities focusing on Kyoto. Our university is home to

a student group that provides volunteer guides for foreign tourists to

Japan, and we have a long history of working within Kyoto. With

the streets of Kyoto as your classroom, you will gain the knowledge

required to support your activities through studying such subjects as

“History of Kyoto,” “Learning about Kyoto Products and Concepts,”

and “Tourism Survey & Research Methods.”

Japan through learning and interacting with Japanese students, who, in turn, relearn their native language as their area of specialization.

Curation and Transmission of New Japanese Culture

“Curation and Transmission of New

Japanese Culture,” which means to combine

different materials and create something from

a new perspective, is the basis for the

understanding of Japanese culture. In this

department, students aim to acquire the

ability to scrutinize information.

A thorough brushing-up of Japanese skills

Students are given thorough Japanese

language training to acquire full command

［Health Insurance］

（1） National Health Insurance （Compulsory）National Health Insurance is administered by the city, town or village. All foreign nationals are required to enroll in this program. The insurance covers 70% of all kinds of medical expenses, which means that the patient pays only the remaining 30% at a hospital or at a dental office, for example. The premium for this insurance varies slightly depending on the place one lives and the person's income during the previous year. It costs foreign nationals who hold a College Student visa approximately 18,000 yen to enroll in this program.

［Housing and Living Expenses］

1 HousingStudents are expected to make their own arrangements. The university will assist students in finding accommodation.Here is some information on the types of housing available in Kyoto.

Apartment

There is usually a kitchen, toilet and bath in every apartment. There are also apartments available where a tenant may rent only a room and share the kitchen, toilet and bath with other tenants. Most students staying in the latter type of apartment go to nearby public bath houses.

Condominium （“One-Room Apartment”）

One room with a kitchen and a bath and toilet unit. The rent is higher than that of an apartment room, since the buildings are made of ferro-concrete and rooms are furnished with bedding, and some other conveniences, and are air-conditioned. The more equipment the room has, the more expensive the rent will be.

When the contract to rent a room is signed, the tenant must pay a lump sum of money known as SHIKIKIN and REIKIN to the landlord.SHIKIKIN （key-money and/or deposit）: a sum of money to be paid to the landlord as security money for possible damages. SHIKIKIN will be refunded upon vacating the room after a check has been made for any delinquency of rent and/or damage to the property.REIKIN （remuneration）: a non-refundable fee to be paid to the landlord when the contract is signed.* SHIKIKIN and REIKIN combined amounts to around 2 to 6 times the monthly rent.

2 Living ExpensesThe average monthly living cost in Kyoto is estimated at about ¥150,000, including rent. Therefore, approximately ¥1,800,000 will be needed to stay in Japan for one year. Applicants should keep this in mind when making plans for study in Japan.

* Many apartments in Japan are unfurnished and not air-conditioned, and students will need to provide themselves with daily necessities.* The typical room size in Japanese houses is 6 tatami mats （9㎡）. A tatami mat is about 180 by 90 centimeters. The size of Japanese rooms is usually measured by the number of tatami mats it contains.

* Common service fees are fees for facilities shared by tenants. * KUFS Room Search Portal Site：https://www.kk-choei.co.jp/globalportal/kufs/
