Kobe University of Commerce

KUC was founded in 1929 as Hyogo Prefectural Kobe Higher Commercial School, a men's college. Because in 1929 the older Kobe Higher Commercial School was reorganized into older Kobe University of Commerce, the prefecture lost a college for boys at age 17–20. So the prefecture founded its own commercial college. The campus was located on a hill called Seiryōdai in Tarumi. In 1944 the college was renamed Kobe College of Economics. Among the notable alumni are Isao Nakauchi and Nobuo Okishio.
In 1948 the college was reorganized into Kobe University of Commerce, the first public university under Japan's new educational system. In 1990 KUC moved to present-day Kobe Gakuentoshi Campus.

Himeji Institute of Technology

HIT was founded in 1944 as Hyogo Prefectural Technical School, a men's college with three departments: Mechanics, Electronics and Applied Chemistry. The first campus was located on a hill of Goinoike, Nagata-ku, Kobe. In 1945 the campus was heavily bombed; in 1946, after World War II, the college was removed to Idei, Himeji.
In 1949 the school was reorganized into Himeji Institute of Technology under Japan's new educational system. In 1957 HIT department of junior college was reorganized into Himeji College, an independent college; in 1965 the college was removed to present-day Himeji Shinzaike Campus. HIT moved to present-day Himeji Shosha Campus in 1970. In 1990 HIT School of Science was established, and new Harima Science Garden City Campus was opened for the school in 1991. In 1998 Himeji College was reorganized into HIT School of Human Science and Environment.
