Overview
Tokyo Junshin University is a Catholic private university in Hachioji, on the western edge of Tokyo.
Its sponsoring body is a Catholic women's religious congregation founded in Nagasaki in 1934, and the school corporation's founding spirit is to seek truth, goodness and beauty with the Virgin Mary as the ideal. The university opened in 1996 as Tokyo Junshin Women's University, took its present name in 2015, when the Faculty of Nursing was established.

A public health nurse course was added in 2022, and a one-year Specialized Course in Midwifery, with a capacity of 20, opened in 2025 for graduates who want to qualify as midwives.
Students are supported by an adviser system and take liberal-arts subjects such as peace studies, music therapy and art therapy.
Clinical placements are arranged with hospitals, clinics, care homes and home-visit nursing stations in Hachioji. The university has announced that from the 2027 academic year it will be renamed Tokyo Junshin Nursing University.
