Opened as Azabu Veterinary University in 1890 and renamed Azabu University in 1950.At Azabu University, based on the founding spirit of "discussion of theory and sincere practice," we think about the global symbiotic system from the five perspectives of "veterinarian," "animal," "health," "food," and "environment," and the various aspects of life. We will find better solutions to our problems.
