Every galaxy almost ubiquitously hosts a supermassive black hole at its
center - this is one of the most astonishing findings in recent Astronomy
and Astrophysics. Our own Galaxy, i.e. Milky Way, isn't an exception - it
is now believed to hold a black hole of 4 million solar masses. However,
we also know that galaxies often collide and merge: naively, this would
leave a double, or "binary" black hole at the center, but do we see it?
Are they actually everywhere? To know the answers directly, we would
need super high resolution photos in visible or infrared light. This can
only be done by combining beams from two or more telescopes located
100 m or more apart. This is called interferometry - something that I
have been spending most of my recent research time on. Quite hard,
but worth it.

I graduated from the Department of Pharmacy (Kyoto University) in
1987 before attaining Japanese national pharmacist license. Since I was
interested in molecular biological research, I took molecular virology as
a subject for my graduate study. I then moved to my current subject of
cell biology and completed my PhD research in molecular mechanisms
of leukocyte differentiation. During the course of my study, I was
intrigued by the molecular mechanism of protein transport between
cellular organelles that control cell’s shapes and functions, which was
an emerging research field of the cell biology. From 1993 to 1997, I had
my postdoctoral training in the London Research Institute of Imperial
Cancer Research Fund, UK (now, Crick Institute, UK). Here, I started
my research on the molecular mechanism of the structural maintenance
of the Golgi apparatus. Since then, the Golgi apparatus has been my
main research target. I am seeking students who have a curiosity for
molecular aspects of cells and who are willing to be involved in our
research about the Golgi apparatus. Details of our research project can

Studying at KSU has absolutely been one of the best
experiences in my life! I had the chance to make friends
not only with Japanese people, but also with people from
all over the world. Even though the homework and
assignments got me busy everyday but I still had time to
experience the Japanese culture through the festivals and
activities held in KSU. GJP classes were very fun. The lecturers were
very helpful and really quick in giving feedback on your progress. Living
in I-House was a pleasure for me. Sharing experiences, exchanging
foods/recipes and study together with the people from different
countries. Thank you KSU for giving me the opportunity to study for one
semester. I will never forget the memories I have of this ancient town
which is full of history and beautiful traditions. Thank you too to CIP
team for helping me a lot. To future exchange students at KSU; use this
golden opportunity wisely. Go out and explore the beautiful things in
Kyoto.
I first fell in love with KSU during a summer program.
I then returned for a half a year exchange and studied
Japanese language, Japanese literature, Asian culture,
journalism and human rights. My Japanese improved
because of the really helpful teachers, Club activities
and by making Japanese friends. I did a lot of things, varying from
playing Koto to selling chicken at the university festival. The big plus of
KSU is that it is located in a very beautiful, quiet and non-tourist area
where deer can be seen staring at you from the forest next to university.
The views on the campus are breathtaking. Another great thing is the
I-house - dormitory for exchange students. I became friends with people
from all over the world and it really gave me a new perspective on a lot
of things. For future exchange students I’d advise not to be afraid of
anything (except for HUGE Japanese bugs). Participate in everything
you can: competitions, club activities, cultural events… Make friends
and use as much Japanese as you can.

In my future job as a teacher I want to connect people
from different countries, cultures and backgrounds
because I think that is what teaching languages is mostly
about. At KSU I met different people from a ll over the
world and made friends through the different languages
I speak. It is always fun to exchange your language with others and
learn together a new one. Whenever you come to KSU make sure you
don't hide in your room but explore the world with others at the university
and outside in temples, shrines, mountains and cities. Regarding the
university I recommend to take classes outside the Japanese language
program and take part in clubs/circles or sport classes in order to meet
new, Japanese people.
I had a most fulfilling year in Kyoto. Staff were
extremely supportive and provided us with so many
opportunities to make Japanese friends, such as
through the buddy system, tours and getting us tickets
to traditional cultural events such as Sumo and Kogen.
I House staff cared for us like we were their children and
chatted with us like friends. The teachers were very enthusiastic and
students in class helped us a lot.
Not matter where I walked, I could sense an air of tradition and intensely
felt that Kyoto really is a special city. Japanese culture is enveloped
through everything from houses to the food to Shrine events.
Thank you to everyone at KSU who provided me with a fun and most
worthwhile year.

Study in Kyoto
Comments from Exchange Students
Oscar – Mexico
Jessie - USA
I choose Japan because I thought that it will be a proper
place to experience a totally different culture from mine.
Going abroad was something I had wanted to do for my
degree and having the chance to experience it in KSU
was fantastic.
Arriving Japan I didn’t speak Japanese so well, but after eight weeks
you begin to understand some things. Studying in KSU was totally
different from the way I study in Mexico because we were taught in
English. We took Japanese language lessons in Japanese, but the
others were taken in English; and that make the experience so nice
because you are able to understand all the topics of the classes you
choose and you are not worried about don’t understanding the classes
because you are in a Japanese University.
The best thing I got from studying abroad in KSU was that it helped me
to open new horizons for my post-university life; now I have the option to
establish my life abroad, to work or keep studying and of course Japan
is in my sights. The University staff were very helpful, very organized
and such good people; they make your life so easy in Japan that the
only thing you have to concern yourself with is which place you are
going to travel next week.
In conclusion, studying one semester in KSU was definitely my best
semester so far in my life.
I came to Kyoto Sangyo University to study the Japanese
language, but I’ve realized that there’s also so much
more it has to offer. Because of Kyoto Sangyo’s location
within Kyoto, I’ve gotten to experience the quieter side
of city life, like nice strolls around the Kamo River, as
well as the bustle of the city. I have gotten to do so many things and
go so many wonderful places, and meet so many people. One of my
favorite on campus activities is the GSC Global Saloon. I get to talk to
different students about a lot of different topics! While they are heavily
encouraged to use English, sometimes I get to ask or answer questions
in Japanese, and, while challenging, it’s so much fun.
Ivana – Czech Republic
Studying abroad at KSU was a great experience for
me! I enjoyed the time here, made lots of new friends,
memories and mainly experience.
I had the chance to improve my Japanese language
skills and it was a great to be part of another system
of education. I also had a chance to "challenge" myself - thanks to the
Japanese speech contest and lessons taught in Japanese
alongside Japanese students. Kyoto is unbelievable - so many things to
see and events to experience! In the I-House we created a family and
shared our problems as well as all the happy moments :)
Studying in Japan at KSU has made me think about the world
and people around me differently, with greater respect for cultural
differences. Thank you very much Japan, thank you KSU!

Why Kyoto?
~ This is where you feel close to the cultural and historical heart of Japan.~
There are many reasons why Kyoto is chosen by international and
domestic students as a study destination.
Kyoto was the capital city of Japan for over 1,000 years. Reminders of
its long history remain all over the city allowing students to come into
direct contact with, and learn about, Japanese cultural history.
Kyoto abounds in not only traditional assets from the past. Kyoto is
also the home of innovative Japanese companies such as NINTENDO,
Kyocera, Murata and SHIMADZU. In support of such industries, Kyoto
has grown into one of the major university and college cities in Japan
bosting over 35 universities. 10% of the city’s total population is made up
of students. Kyoto offers an extensive range of studies including cuttingedge research that have been awarded Nobel prizes in recent years.
One prize winner, Prof. Hidenori Maskawa, was undertaking research in
KSU when he received his Nobel Prize in Physics. According to the “QS
Best Student Cities 2016”, Kyoto is ranked 24th in the world (Second
highest in Japan after Tokyo). About 8,000 international students from
all over the world are studying in Kyoto. It’s time you came to join them.
Opportunities ranging from “A”nime to “Z”en await you, here in Kyoto.
