This enrollment fee will be returned when you graduate, finish research, or return home.

Should Japanese Government Scholarship Students want to join this insurance plan, please go to near Coop Shop (Daigaku Kaikan Co-op Shop on the Higashi-Hiroshima Campus, Kasumi Campus, or Higashi-Senda Campus).

* Fire Insurance from the Co-op will not provide compensation for any house fire if the determined cause of the fire is a meber of your family.

(2) Japan Educational Exchanges and Services Comprehensive Foreign Student Housing Insurance
