RIKEN Yokohama Campus

Activities and Attractions

RIKEN is a multidisciplinary research organization engaged in a broad variety of research fields across the natural sciences. RIKEN Yokohama Campus was founded in 2000 as the hub for RIKEN’s life science research activities, from which we convey the possibilities in our research findings to the public and contribute to the community through strong local alliances.
RIKEN Yokohama is home to three research centers that explore life science and the environment from various scientific perspectives.
Although based in Yokohama, our centers also have operations at RIKEN’s Wako and Kobe campuses, where they carry out their research with the support of local RIKEN administration.
