If you work at Kyocera,
Where should you live in Kyoto?

1. What kind of company is Kyocera?

With fine ceramics as its origin, Kyocera now operates across electronic components and a wide range of solutions. Headquarters are in the Takeda area of Fushimi Ward.

2. A company that expanded far beyond one core technology

Kyocera’s strength lies in materials, components and devices that quietly support industry. It is an option not only for STEM students seeking manufacturing roles in Kyoto but also humanities students targeting sales or corporate functions.

3. Jobs also connect customers and technology—not just research

Roles include R&D, production engineering, manufacturing engineering, design, quality, sales, planning and corporate functions. With such a broad business portfolio, it matters how you connect your major to a specific field.

4. Hiring records from four Kyoto universities

How realistic is it to study in Kyoto and then join a Kyoto company? We reviewed publicly available spring 2025 hiring data for Kyoto University, Doshisha University, Ritsumeikan University, and Kyoto Institute of Technology.

5. What is the average annual salary?

We checked Kyocera average annual pay using its published securities report, prioritizing company disclosure over estimates from job-review sites.

6. From Takeda, you can choose either Fushimi or central Kyoto

For headquarters work, options include Takeda itself, Fushimi and Tambabashi, and neighborhoods along the Karasuma subway line. Access to Shijo and Kyoto Station is also straightforward.

7. Who this may suit

For people interested in electronic components, materials and manufacturing technology who want to deepen expertise inside a large company.
