UTokyo Kashiwa Open Campus 2025 held
Visitors enjoyed an impressive lineup of programs: hands-on activities for children, exhibitions showcasing cutting-edge research, special lectures and engaging talk sessions, as well as guided tours of research labs and large-scale experimental facilities normally closed to the public — so extensive that a single day could scarcely encompass all it had to offer.
Despite the occasional autumn drizzle, more than 8,800 guests visited UTokyo Kashiwa over the two days.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us.
