Okayama University is a great place to learn Japanese, but you'll also hear other languages spoken on campus. Thoroughly international, the university has a robust exchange program that brings people from all over the world to study on its modern campuses. Wander around the campus to feel the academic energy that ripples through the air. It was established as a university in 1949 on the base of a medical school founded in the 19th century. The heart of Okayama University is the Tsushima campus. Purchase a snack or meal from the nearby student-friendly cafés and restaurants and stroll between the hyper-modern buildings. Watch as students from all over the world dash between lectures and classes. Sit on the sprawling lawns, shaded by old growth trees, and listen to students chattering in varied languages. For a more urban sense, head south to the Shikata campus, south of the train station. Centered closer to the city, it is less restful, but more purposeful, and surrounded by a good restaurant and shopping district geared toward students. Get a sense of the day-to-day life of an Okayama University student, learning all about the world. Okayama University’s Tsushima campus is north of the city center, a 12-minute bus ride from the main Okayama Station. The Shikata campus is closer to the city center, a 10-minute bus ride or 20-minute walk from the train station. Other individual buildings are scattered around the province in Kurashiki, Misasa, Higashiyama, Hirai and Ushimado. The campuses themselves are generally open to visitors at all hours, but individual buildings have different hours and may have entrance restrictions for visitors. ### Popular places to visit ![Momotaro Statue](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/1/624317524c537a7b4e9e7326182fab94.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Momotaro Statue You can learn about the history of Okayama with a visit to Momotaro Statue.
