JCMU Japan Center

The Japan Center (JCMU) is a study abroad program formed from the strong sister-state relationship between the State of Michigan and Shiga Prefecture. Our campus is located on the shores of Lake Biwa in the City of Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Our programs are dedicated to building relationships between Japanese, Americans, and other nationalities through active learning and participation in language, culture, family life and society. JCMU has been welcoming students of all majors since 1989. Students do not need to attend a member university to participate.
