Hongo Campus (Tokyo)

The Hongo Campus is situated in Bunkyo-ku, the traditional heart of Tokyo's literary culture and home to many of the top colleges and universities in Japan. The campus is surrounded by academic publishers, museums, libraries and Edo Period temples. Jinbo-cho, an internationally known used-book district, and Akihabara, Japan's hub for IT goods, are 15 minutes from the campus. It is situated next door to the La Qua Amusement Park and Tokyo Dome, an all-weather baseball stadium, and one can also get to all of the major downtown business areas, such as Marunouchi, Shinjuku and Shibuya, within 15 minutes. Junior and senior students take advantage of the central location of the campus as they conduct real-world research, write papers, attend seminars and begin job-hunting.

The Phoenix Mosaic mural (below right) on the west wall of the Hongo Campus symbolizes the rebirth of the school from the ashes of World War II.
