The University of Tokyo
ADD: 7-chōme-3-1 Hongō, Bunkyo City, Tokyo 113-8654, Japan
The University of Tokyo was established in 1877 as the first national university in Japan. As a leading research university, UTokyo offers courses in essentially all academic disciplines at both undergraduate and graduate levels and conducts research across the full spectrum of academic activity. The University aims to provide its students with a rich and varied academic environment that ensures opportunities for both intellectual development and the acquisition of professional knowledge and skills.
Tokyo should be considered the same tourist destination as lively international cities like Paris, London, and New York. Tokyo is the financial, political, and commercial heart of Japan. While the pace of the city can be overwhelming, we will show the tranquil, traditional side of this great city too. The city was historically referred to as Edo. In 2003, it celebrated its 400th birthday.
Tokyo has an incredible variety of museums, galleries, shrines, and temples to keep you preoccupied for many days. In the city of Tokyo, there is a broad spectrum of places to visit, from the Imperial Palace, home of the Emperor and past shogunates, to the legendary Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Sky Tree, the new landmark of Tokyo.
And within Tokyo, like many other capital cities of Asian countries with a long history, there are historic neighborhoods, revealing glimpses of vanishing traditional Japanese culture.
