About
Japan is strong in the life sciences and has a long history of applied life sciences, especially in the food industry. Our field trips will explore aspects of life sciences in Japan: a tour of research labs at Ritsumeikan will show basic research; a museum at the ancient Lake Biwa in Kusatsu will show ecology studies; the Kyoto Aquarium will show public science education; and a rice fermentation factory in Kyoto will show applied life science. Also, we will have three guest lectures given by the Life Science faculty. Kusatsu is 20 minutes from Kyoto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, affording students ample opportunity for exploring one of the world's most treasured cities.
