Passing down 135 years of Doshisha history and tradition
The Imadegawa campus is located on the site where Doshisha was founded 135 years ago. The campus buildings of the Meiji era, such as the Doshisha Chapel, Shoeikan, Yushukan, Harris Science Hall, and Clarke Memorial Hall are designated as cultural properties of national importance, yet harmonize with the modern buildings on the campus which were constructed in the Taisho and early Showa eras. These buildings stand as a living museum, a testament to the history and development of university education in Japan through the years from the Meiji era to the present day. About 12,000 students now study on this campus, which has a total area of 82,000 m². |
Clarke Memorial Hall
Designated a national important cultural property
The construction of the Clarke Memorial Hall was made possible by a contribution from American missionaries Mr. and Mrs. B.W. Clarke. It is a stately and magnificent building based on the German Neo-Gothic style, and its unique steeple has become a symbol of Doshisha. It was named the Clarke Seminary when first established in 1894 and made the center of theological education and research. The building was under repair for preservation purposes until February 2008.

Harris Science Hall
Designated a national important cultural property
This British-style brick building was constructed in 1890 through the generous benefaction of an American businessman, J.N. Harris, who had great empathy with Neesima’s passion for science education. The building was the predecessor of the present Faculty of Engineering at Doshisha University.

Doshisha Chapel
Designated a national important cultural property
This American-Gothic brick building, with its iron-sheet thatched roof, was constructed in 1886 following a donation from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. It was designed by D.C. Green and is the oldest brick Protestant chapel in existence in Japan, as well as being a symbol of the history and the spirit of Christianity at Doshisha. |
Yushukan
Designated a national important cultural property
This building was the largest school library in Japan when it was constructed in 1887. In 1922, when its role as library was ended, Danjo Ebina, then chancellor, dubbed it “Yushukan,” meaning “the building which has fulfilled its mission.” |
Kambaikan
This building was constructed in March 2004 by totally rebuilding the old Students’ Hall in order to ensure further effective utilization of the building. The new building consolidated functions tailored to the needs of today, including law and business schools, a student support center, a career support center, a students’ welfare center and a liaison office. A broad range of people gather here for a variety of purposes, which makes it an innovative and inspiring space. |
