So, I was able to stay comfortably at this time. In the last day, there was a chance to meet with Prof. Hirokazu Kawagishi. He has been studying about biologically active compounds from mushrooms. His laboratory was well organized as in optimized space for the experiment. So, it was very interesting to experience the lab life of Japanese University.

About a University

Students of Shizuoka University were very kind to me. They were equipped with good manners and academic abilities. I was impressed by the dedication of students and staff members. It was very impressive student poster presentations from the symposium. They were very enthusiastic about the announcement of their poster over a short period of time, and explained his results with confidence about the poster. Shizuoka University has left a good impression on me. In addition, the Shizuoka University consists of two campuses. Thus, they have provided specialized education according to the campus.
