The city of Ogaki in Gifu Prefecture, Japan - location of Gifu Kyoritsu University
The city of Ogaki - home to Gifu Kyoritsu University - is located in Gifu Prefecture, in the middle of Japan between the large urban centers of Nagoya and Kyoto. Ogaki has a population of around 150,000, with manufacturing as the main industry, complemented by the growing production of computer software in more recent years.
Nestled near the Japan Alps, Gifu Prefecture has one of the most attractive natural environments in Japan, and is well-balanced between economic development and protection of these natural surroundings. The area is thus particularly inspiring to the students of the University.
