The University of Ryukyus


When you enter the west entrance gate of the University of Ryukyus, you will see a parking lot on your right side. The parking lot is called “sanntouchi”which means that the parking lot is the third best parking area in the school of law and there is a parking area only for visiting professors. The nearest parking lot from the school building is the best parking lot which called “ittsutouchi”.There are some parking spaces for people who are physically challenged and for visitors. On the other side of the “ittsutouchi”,There is the“nitouchi”which is located next to the playground.
Because the university office renovated the “ittsutouchi”to increase the parking spaces for motorbikes, there are more student coming to school by motorbikes than before. I guess that the schools wanted to solve the problem with lack of parking areas by encouraging students to ride bikes instead of driving cars. I think their efforts made some good results, but the problem is still unresolved. In fact, there are a lot of cars parked illegally because there is nowhere else to park their cars. Parking lots often crowded during second to forth period. So if you have a class during the time, you need to leave your house earlier to get a parking space.
