Otemae University has two campuses.
Both Nishinomiya City in Hyogo Prefecture and Osaka City in Osaka Prefecture are well-connected and easy to get to.
It is also a homely campus where you can see the faces of everyone here, including students, faculty, and university staff.
Nishinomiya City has long been a gathering place for people who love arts and culture.
Universities are also a symbol of their respective communities.
Nishinomiya Shukugawa Campus is located in a gently undulating, picturesque area.
Simple and modern school buildings line the streets.
May it become one of the landscapes befitting the beautiful city of Nishinomiya.

Our faculty campus is located in an area where the city's major institutions, such as Osaka Castle and the Osaka Prefectural Government Office, are located.
The new theme is "urban," "stylish," and "mature."
The space is stripped of unnecessary objects and decorations and instead features cutting-edge equipment and a smartly designed interior.
The concept is to create a space suitable for learning in order to become independent adults.

The two faculties located on the Osaka Castle Campus begin full-scale off-campus field training in their third year, so extracurricular activities are mainly conducted during the first and second years. Since 2024, new extracurricular activity groups have been established, and they are engaged in a variety of activities, such as planning and managing student exchange events with international students, on-campus sports events, and setting up booths at the Otemae Festa.
Otemae University holds various events throughout the year.
There is a wide variety of events, from ceremonies in which everyone participates to events and sporting events.
"Heartwarming! Extracurricular activities!"
As the name suggests, extracurricular activities are a place to work with "friends you don't normally come into contact with." Talking to the school's public relations staff, interacting with event management companies, and receiving more specialized guidance from a coach - all of these are "interactions with people" that I gained through extracurricular activities. Furthermore, being able to interact with many people has led to many different things. There are fun things that you can experience and learn only as a student. If you're interested, first take a look at our social media. Our seniors will talk to you kindly. Our Extracurricular Activities Department aims to provide "heartwarming extracurricular activities." Come and learn a variety of things at Otemae University! We're waiting for you!
