Kanda Campus

Kanda Campus

2-5 Kanda-Jinbōchō, Chiyoda-ku, Tōkyō 101-0051

Established in 2004 on an 870-square-meter site that runs along Yasukuni-dōri and its many secondhand bookshops in Kanda-Jinbōchō, the Kanda Campus is an impressive eight-story (with one subfloor) school building made of reinforced concrete and totaling 3,391 m2 in area.

The local character of Kanda is connected to the 1907 opening of the Tokyo Engineering School, the predecessor of this institute. By building a campus here, we aim to deepen our ties with the area and grow as an educational institution.

In 2005, we established the NIT Graduate School of Management of Technology (MOT) on the Kanda Campus, making it a place where working adults can study to become exceptional engineers capable of applying engineering theory to technology in the real world. And in 2016, we relocated the headquarters of our incorporated educational institution from the Komaba Campus to the Kanda Campus.

We are continuing to develop the campus as a place of learning, for instance by creating NIT-CONNECT as a communication space for linking academia to the community and by creating a Canadian Studies Office and conducting preparatory classes.

1F NIT-CONNECT

NIT-CONNECT is an exhibition space that aims to connect our three campuses: the Kanda Campus (Graduate School of Professional Studies and The School Foundation of Nippon Institute of Technology), the Saitama Campus in Miyashiro Saitama, and the Komaba Campus (High School/Middle School). Its purpose is to link the three campuses together while forging connections between our educational institutions and the local Jinbōchō community. At its core, it is the “connection” between academia and society. 

NIT-CONNECT features exhibitions from the Nippon Institute of Technology Museum of Science and Technology as well as our College Meister Program students. Containing displays of machinery and innovations that changed the face of Japanese industry, the exhibitions bring to light important pieces of technology typically unseen in daily life. Even in Jimbocho’s used book paradise, the eye-catching displays encourage those who pass by to peak in and learn something more about the tools and machines that have shaped our lives. NIT-CONNECT will continue to feature a wide variety of exhibitions focusing on our theme "Connect". 

2F Terrace

Our Kanda Campus is located in Chiyoda Ward’s Jinbōchō area, where the predecessors of institutions such as the University of Tokyo, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Hitotsubashi University, Meiji University, Senshu University, Chuo University, Hosei University, and Nihon University were founded from the final years of the Edo period through the beginning of the Meiji period. As this drew a large number of students and scholars to the area, it developed into a book district. It is now a commercial area with many nationally renowned shops for secondhand books. The Aozora Book Fair held in the fall has become a world-famous event, and nowadays one can routinely catch sight of people from around the world strolling through the streets.
