OIST to welcome visitors from December 1st

OIST had suspended visits from the public to the campus and the guided tours in 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These visits and tours will resume on December 1, 2022. 

From December 1, members of the public are welcome to visit OIST in one of two ways: 

• Unguided campus visit: no reservations required, open every day 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
• Guided Campus Tours: reservations required, first-come, first-served, weekdays only

For details and updates on the guided tour program, please visit the OIST Tours webpage. 

Please note that OIST reserves the right to re-limit the number of visitors to the campus depending on the status of the COVID-19 pandemic.
