Resting rooms

Science Tokyo provides resting rooms as part of efforts to build a better workplace and enhance the research and education environment. Services such as setup, maintenance, and management of each room are handled by individual departments. A special focus has been placed on meeting women’s needs, and resting rooms are available for women who feel ill or need rest due to pregnancy, nursing, menstruation, or other health-related concerns.

As of March 2026, there are 22 resting rooms on Ookayama Campus, 10 on Yokohama Campus (formerly Suzukakedai Campus, renamed April 1, 2026), and 1 on Tamachi Campus, and include women-only, men-only, and gender-inclusive rooms.

The list above outlines how to use the rooms as well as their locations, when to sign up, available hours, and other information. For further details, please contact the relevant department.

Individuals who feel sick or require prolonged rest are encouraged to return home or visit the Student Healthcare Center or other healthcare facility as soon as possible.

Calm down space

Science Tokyo provides calm down spaces as places where individuals who are overwhelmed by stimuli such as sound and light can go to spend time quietly and calm down.

Some calm down spaces are located in resting rooms that require a key to access; users must complete the required procedures to borrow a key. See the List of Resting Rooms for details.
