熊本大学短期留学制度について
Purpose
■目 的
Kumamoto University Short-Term Exchange Program is designed for students who are
enrolled full-time at a university abroad and have foreign citizenship. The program offers
undergraduate foreign students, who are interested in the Japanese language, Japanese and
Asian society and culture, advanced science and technology, and interactions with foreign
students, the chance to study for up to a year in Japan while still retaining their full-time status
at their home universities. The university also hopes that the program will promote exchange
between university students from foreign countries and Japanese university students.

southern-most main island of Japan. Kumamoto City has a population of
approximately 740,000 and is the second biggest city in Kyushu. By air
it takes 90 minutes from Tokyo or 60 minutes from Osaka; by train it takes
approximately 30 minutes from Fukuoka City.

■気候
Climate
The weather is generally mild. The weather changes from hot and muggy
(25-35 ℃ ) in July and August to windy and cold (2-10 ℃ ) in January and
February. Autumn and spring offer the most comfortable weather. When
you get here in October or April, it will be the beautiful seasons and the
temperature will be moderate (14-24 ℃ ). Therefore you will not need to
put on a coat, but rather only a light jacket. Once the winter season comes
in late November, you will need some sweaters and a winter coat. Warm
clothing is necessary in January and February. We rarely have heavy snow
in Kumamoto.

■観光スポット
Sightseeing spots
Local attractions include Kumamoto Castle, one of the oldest and grandest
medieval castles in Japan; Kumamoto downtown area, located 10-15
minutes away from Kumamoto University by bicycle and known for a lot of
office buildings and shopping streets; the Amakusa Islands, a chain of 120
islands known for their exciting Christian history and plenty of rich nature;
and Aso National Park, crowned by the active volcano Mt. Aso, with
the largest caldera volcano in the world. Because of its proximity to Mt.
Aso, the Kumamoto area also has an abundance of natural hot springs.
Kumamoto is also well-known in Japan for its delicious drinking water.
Because the rainfall that soaks into the ground in the mountains of the
Aso region takes many years to come out, one can always be able to
drink delicious water.

■交通アクセス
Transportation
熊本から東京までは飛行機で一時間半で
It takes one and a half hours for you to go to Tokyo from Kumamoto
by airplane. You can get to Kyoto, famous for its historical sights,
in two and a half hours by a "shinkansen" bullet train from Fukuoka.
Since Japanese railways and bus routes have been expanded
throughout the country, you can easily visit other cities in Kyushu,
as well as other areas in Japan.
