Facilities and Campus MAP
International
Christian University is located in Mitaka City, a
suburban community adjacent to Tokyo.
The campus is a
wooded area of 638,000 m2, one of the most spacious in
Japan. From the campus entrance, a broad avenue arched by
cherry trees extends for 600 meters westward, ending at a
circle of azaleas. There are some places of interest near
the campus, such as the National Astronomical Observatory
of Japan and the Middle Eastern Culture Center in Japan,
Nogawa Park, Jindaiji Temple (second oldest temple in
Tokyo) and the Jindai Botanical Gardens.
Major buildings
include: the Library; University Hall (Honkan); the
Educational Research Building, containing faculty offices;
Diffendorfer Memorial Hall, the student center; the ICU
Church; and student dormitories. ICU s dining hall is
currently under construction. Therefore meals (lunch only)
are served from a temporary
dining hall in the
form of bento lunch-boxes mixing Japanese, Western and
Chinese food at reasonable prices (400-700JPY). The Dining
Hall does NOT offer breakfast and dinner service.
Vegetarians, or those with dietary restrictions, should be
warned that meat, often pork, is used in many of the dishes
here. The Dining Hall is the only facility on campus meals.
Other campus facilities of interest include the Yuasa
Museum, with collections of Japanese folk craft and
archaeological excavations, and the Taizanso gardens and
tea houses.
Students should be
aware that all university offices and facilities, except
those directly related to the Summer Course, are closed for
a two week summer vacation between the months of July and
August. The Summer Course Office makes every effort to see
that students are not unduly hampered by these
closings.
