| Location |
JAIST
is located on a hill in the city of Nomi
in Ishikawa Prefecture, in the center of the
Ishikawa Science Park. The campus site is
particularly beautiful, overlooking nearby
counties and the city of Kanazawa to the north,
the Sea of Japan to the west, tree-covered
hills and pasture lands in the south, and
the imposing Mt. Hakusan to the east.
The area provides us with recreational activities
in every season, including several nearby
ski resorts, beaches and seaside parks, golf
courses, hot springs and athletic and recreational
parks. With a population density far below
that of the Pacific side of the island of
Honshu, the area affords easy access to wilderness
and outdoor recreation.
Within 20km of JAIST is the city of Kanazawa,
which hosts numerous cultural events all year
round. As one of Japan's few well-preserved
old cities, it is often referred to as the
hidden gem of Japan. |
