While formerly the campus of Kitasato University’s School of Marine Biosciences faced the Pacific Ocean, the Great East Japan Earthquake forced it to relocate to Sagamihara. After a period spent in a temporary evacuation shelter, it resumed its education and research activities the following year in the newly built facilities at Sagamihara. The mini-aquarium, Kitasato Aquarium Lab, is operated by the students there, and is key to the distinctive education being provided. We also enjoy active research-based regional exchanges, as we make use of local materials in the Sanriku area through our new joint research and educational facilities.
