Ethan Hunt

To the hospital, especially depending on the number of patients, the number of surgeries, and the department, I was hospitalized in a very good environment (thanks to the doctors, nurses, and other staff) and was able to leave safely and securely, for which I am deeply grateful.

???

The facility is perfect for visiting as a guest, holding public lectures and the like. As the face of Kurume City, and together with the Ishibashi Cultural Center and other Bridgestone gifts, it is an essential spot for university tours and …

rinda

The university headquarters became a nationally designated tangible cultural property (building) in 2021. It was completed in 1929 on a site of 33,000 sq. m. The building was donated by brothers Tokujiro and Shojiro Ishibashi. It was …

YUJI zhoozhoo

It is one of Kyushu's leading historical universities. I studied in the Faculty of Letters, but there is a specialized foreign language education research institute, so I was able to receive a systematic and thorough education. …

sarasa

For a university with a medical school and a large patient population, this place is unkind and inconsiderate.
The university itself also has an unfair and fake approach, which is evident in …

777 Pontax

This is...different for each individual. Good people are good (^^)/
There are some weird... people out there ? Where there are a lot of people, there's a certain distribution pattern. …

???

Due to the mandatory 90-minute rule,
lectures that were originally 60 minutes long and focused on the main points
were stretched out without any additional content being added, …

????

We used it for a social gathering for an academic conference. Not only is the campus beautiful, but the food in the cafeteria was also delicious.

????

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were so many patients that the initial consultations were completed by 1:30 pm. I'm exhausted.

To Hi

In places where many people gather, there is a mixture of good and bad people. I feel that there are relatively more good people here.

??

The old man at the information center has a bad attitude. When I asked him what to do because my PC wasn't working, he started crying.

????

It's easy to get into medical school with a low standard deviation. You can get in if you pay the money.

????

This is the university where you go to become a doctor. The facilities are also excellent.

R???

University hospitals where you can receive advanced medical care

????

I only have fond memories. It's a great university!

If you want to become a doctor, this is the place

Religion snapshot

Religion in Japan is manifested primarily in Shinto and in Buddhism, the two main faiths, which Japanese people often practice simultaneously. Syncretic combinations of both, known generally as shinbutsu-shūgō, are common; they represented Japan's dominant religion before the rise of State Shinto in the 19th century.
