Tsuru University

From Mt. Fuji to the World, We’re Facing the Future Together.
Today, Mt. Fuji is considered a global treasure. Tsuru University is located in this historical castle town at the foot of the mountain.
Nearly 70 years have passed since the university was founded. We constantly research what today’s educational environments require of teachers, and we have been training instructors who can thrive along with the children they teach, sending them out to all of Japan.
These human resources are active in a wide range of fields, possessing practical skills learned through cooperation with local residents while using this city as their training field.
Using our past achievements as signposts, Tsuru University is on a new path as it begins a new era.
We will be training global human resources who can freely operate across regions and the globe, and will be sending them out into the world.
