Gifu Women's University is located on the outskirts of Gifu City in Gifu Prefecture, in the very center of the Japanese Archipelago. Positioned in a semi-rural area, very conducive to concentrated learning, Gifu Women's University enjoys a good reputation for women's education, and has produced a great number of graduates during its half-century history. Those graduates in turn continue to play an active and important role in their respective communities.
In 2016, Gifu Women's celebrate its 70th anniversary since the founding of the Kayo Educational Institution, and the 50th anniversary of the university itself. At this milestone, the university wishes to open a new and diverse chapter in women's education.
