Study Tours of Civil Engineering Facilities for International StudentsHEADLINE
We have been running a new project from 2013, “The Study Tours of Civil
Engineering Facilities for International Students under the Asian Human
Resources Fund Program”.
This “Study Tour” aims to broaden our students’ view and draw on their experiences by visiting various important facilities and infrastructures in Japan.
Furthermore, sometimes we try to invite students from other projects in the tours. We believe that would help our international students to establish meaningful connections between them, both for their study and life in Japan.

6th Tour; The Field Trip to the Tunnel Construction Site of Tokyo Metro
Date : November 17, 2014
Location: 3 Kaname-cho, Teshima-ku, Tokyo
Between Kotake-Mukaihara Station and Sengawa Station of Tokyo Metro Yurakucho-line,
a new connecting line has been under construction for relieving the existing grade crossing with Fukutoshin-Line now.
Our students visited this tunnel construction site and observed the tunnel excavation by the shield machine. It was a valuable opportunity for them to get knowledge about the subway construction technique in Japan.
