Hello, I am Takae Ito, the person responsible for the Counselling and Cultural Exchange Section, as well as teaching Japanese to international students. I offer the international students guidance and consultations related to any aspect of life as a University of Yamanashi student, for example, study or personal issues, in my office, Room B1-220.
As an international student living and studying in Japan, which could differ from your home country, you may meet something unfamiliar or puzzling and may have worries related to human relationships. It is important for you as an international student to go and talk to the academic advisor or good friends about your problems. The International Student Center is also always open for you and you are welcome to visit us, as well as we too are there to help you.
I would also like to be actively involved in the activities with Japanese students and the local community. I would like to work together with you to make your student life at the University a more fulfilling experience.

I arrived at the University of Yamanashi in September 2005. I am responsible for teaching Japanese to international students and specialize in Phonetics and Japanese Language Education.
Since I lived in Osaka for a long time, life in Yamanashi has been a source of new inter-cultural experiences for me every day. I presume that international students have the same kind of experiences as me while living in Japan. If you have any troubles, please come to Cafe Esaki at any time. I will be there, preparing a nice cup of coffee or tea to serve you.

Hello, I am Kazuko MIYAMOTO. I arrived at the University of Yamanashi in April 2015. I am responsible for teaching community nursing to nursing students and supporting international students at the Medical School campus.
I worked and conducted my research in Cambodia from 2000 to 2007. I have been visiting there once or twice a year even now. I found life in a different culture very exciting, although it was sometimes difficult to cope with. Applying these experiences, I would like to support international students, as well as encouraging Japanese students to gain intercultural experiences.
