Hokkai Gakuen University

Hokkai Gakuen University is a private university in Sapporo, Hokkaidō, Japan. Hokkai-Gakuen has grown successfully as an educational institution in this vast Northern land during our more than 130 years of history. Based on our early history, Hokkai-Gakuen was reborn as Hokkai-Gakuen University in 1952. Here in the land of that rebirth, the University pursues its founding goal of instilling in students a pioneering spirit that allows them to stand independently without over-reliance on fellow students or established authority.

Although the University has faced many difficulties in the more than half a century since its foundation, we have overcome all hardships, thanks to the persistent efforts of our predecessors, who made significant achievements by sticking to the pioneering spirit, a dauntless, free spirit. Now the University enjoys a reputation as one of the finest private universities in Hokkaido.
