Sophia University has concluded an agreement with Chiyoda Ward for cooperation in the event of a major disaster.
The University provides its campus as a venue for the annual Chiyoda Ward evacuation drill for people who have difficulty returning home, held every January, and cooperates in conducting disaster prevention and evacuation drills.

As the cherry blossoms, the flower of Chiyoda Ward, are aging, the ward established the Ward Sakura Flower Revitalization Plan. To address this local issue, Sophia University is working with the Chiyoda Ward Roads and Parks Division and student extracurricular activity groups to protect the cherry trees along Sanada moat adjacent to the Yotsuya campus.
Every year, a Sanada moat cherry blossom count survey by volunteers and a mini-seminar are held.

The Sophia University Central Library is available to those who meet the following conditions;

• Residents in Chiyoda Ward aged 20 or older and who have registered as a member of the library.
• Those with a valid Chiyoda Ward Library check-out ticket.
• For research and study purposes (excluding students of other universities and those with commercial purposes).

Students and staff members participate in the Sanno Festival, an annual festival at Hie Shrine that has been held for many years, and work together with local residents to preserve history and traditions. In addition, as a university located in Chiyoda Ward, we are actively involved in revitalizing the community through student participation in various events, cooperation in publicity, and cooperation with elementary school students in their exploration of the city.
