Introduction

Japan’s oldest Jesuit University

Founded in 1913 by three priests, Sophia University celebrates its 110th anniversary in 2023. When St. Francis Xavier, who was also involved in the establishment of the Society of Jesus, visited Japan in 1549 as a missionary, he appreciated the qualities of the intellectually curious Japanese people and asked that the Jesuits establish a university in the Japanese capital as a center for cultural and ideological exchange, which is said to have led to the establishment of Sophia University.
