Positives:

  • Stroller paths: Wide, paved walkways make campus navigation easy with a stroller.
  • Changing facilities: Changing tables available near Akamon gate and cafeteria on Hongo campus.

Challenges:

  • Limited baby rooms: Most nursing rooms require prior application; plan ahead to use them.
  • Crowded lunchtime: Central Cafeteria is busiest from 12:00–13:00, making stroller space tight.

Very beautiful campus filled with Neo-Gothic buildings. Although the gothic style is very different from those of the ancient universities of Europe, it still gives the university an old and classy look.

One of the best universities in the world, they have very unique historical buildings. The cool environment makes students feel at home doing their assignments here. They have very complete and international standard facilities. I see that one of the requirements for taking a master's or PhD is to have a certificate of being able to speak Japanese. Commensurate with the quality provided.
