Our campus in Beppu, Makurazaki, is as huge as 170,000 square meters. On the campus, we have educational facilities for experiments and training, sports facilities for physical education, Japanese fencing, swimming, a boathouse for three training boats, and dormitories. Ours is the largest campus among those of all high schools in the prefecture. Our pass rate of national examinations of various kinds scores the top level among fisheries high schools nation wide.
