Campus and Facilities

Located in the center of Sapporo, the campus of Tenshi College is surrounded by quiet atmosphere. With the establishment of the Graduate School of Midwifery, our facilities and equipment have been expanding year by year.

Located in the heart of Sapporo about 1.5 km from JR Sapporo Station, Tenshi College is situated in a quiet residential district. This site is a suitable environment for study, which is the most important aspect for students. Of course, they can take advantage of the information and activities that are readily available by living in a big city with a population of 1.8 million. In accordance with our reorganization into a four-year college and the establishment of the Graduate School, we are continually developing and our facilities are expanding.

In 2004, Building No. 8, a new school building for the Graduate School of Midwifery, was completed.

This new school building for lectures and practice is for the exclusive use for the Graduate School which was established in April of 2004. The building is equipped with 2 lecture rooms, 7 seminar rooms, and a practice room which is furnished with labor tables, medical instruments for childbirth assistance, and various devices for home-care nursing.
