Life on Campus

CICASP is part of Kyoto University's Center for the Evolutionary Origins of Human Behavior, which is located in the historic city of Inuyama in Aichi prefecture. Inuyama is famous for its small but beautiful castle and open air museums "Meiji Mura" and "Little World". It has a population of roughly 71,000 people, as of 2024.

The city is a 30-minute train ride from Nagoya, the 3rd largest incorporated city in Japan, and so provides a pleasant mix between country and urban life.
In this section we’ve compiled useful information regarding the campus and surroundings to assist in making life in Inuyama as interesting and stress-free as possible. For a more detailed guide to Inuyama and Nagoya themselves,
