Educational travel Inquiry program
We are committed to contributing to people's health through pharmaceuticals and functional foods. Santonin, our revolutionary roundworm treatment, is made from the plant Artemisia miltiorrhiza. The world is home to a diverse range of plants, from the trees you see on your way to school to plants that produce fruit for snacks and even medicinal plants. The Yamashina Botanical Museum collects and cultivates approximately 3,000 species of plants from around the world. During your tour, you will experience the mysterious allure of plants. You will also learn about the evolution of pharmaceutical development throughout our company's history. Furthermore, you can utilize this opportunity for career development through interactions with employees who are committed to contributing to health.
