Protect Yoshida Dormitory
Welcome to
Yoshida dormitory is a 105-year-old wooden dormitory in the town of Kyoto.
Yoshida dormitory is a self-governing dormitory of Kyoto University.
Its students are full of personality and each live life in their own unique way.
This year, a notice came from the university telling all Yoshida students to leave the dorm by the end of September.
Will Yoshida Dormitory’s long and colourful history finally come to an end?
Will the dorm’s culture of acceptance and individuality die out?
We don’t know what will happen in the future.
But for now, please enter our website and discover more about the atmosphere and goings on of this unique place.

Yoshida Dormitory Information
Yoshida Dormitory is a home where many students live out their daily lives.
When visitors arrive at the dorm and begin taking photos of our residents without their permission, it makes many of them feel uncomfortable.
