Kyoto Women's University

Kyoto Women's University is committed to the pursuit of personal development. The university is located in Kyoto, a city that blends tradition with modernity while boasting an unequalled wealth of history and culture. It is this enterprising spirit that also underlies the founding philosophy of Kyoto Women's University. Over the course of more than 100 years since its establishment in 1910, Kyoto Women's University has taken root in the city of Kyoto and has developed a close bond with local citizens. With the aim of promoting personal development, our university places a high importance on the Buddhist philosophy advocated by Shinran Shonin, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu school of Buddhism. We have earned a high reputation as an academic institution focused on personal development, and we will continue to contribute to society while taking pride in our educational tradition.
