Information Processing Center
The information processing center is in charge of providing IT backup to administrative, educational and research activities. The Shinagawa and Etchujima campuses are linked through a dedicated optic fiber network that provides a seamless and ubiquitous connection to all IT services. The center also provides electronic connections with institutions located outside the university through the SINET academic information network.
Computer rooms on both campuses provide access to the Internet, email, registration services and software applications. The terminals are used by inserting your IC student card into a card reader and logging in with your PIN (Personal Identification Number). Changing your password on this system applies to all other accounts, including your email and wireless connection accounts.
The Registered Tangible Cultural Property: "Unyo-Maru"
Unyo-Maru has been registered as a tangible cultural property. From 1909 to 1929 she sailed for 33 cruises and served whale fishing training, fisheries research, student training, and the development of fishing techniques and gears. The most remarkable achievement is that Unyo-Maru succeeded in producing canned crab on board and played a role as a pioneer of large-scale crab cannning ship. She was relocated to Shinagawa Campus in 1962.
Museum of Marine Science
