The University of Tokyo: Japan's top academic sanctuary

🏢The University of Tokyo is the first national university in Japan, and its comprehensive strength ranks first in Japan. All disciplines at Todai are developed in a balanced manner, and it can be called a "hexagonal warrior." It is one of Japan's top universities and has produced 11 Nobel Prize winners and 16 Japanese prime ministers.
The University of Tokyo has three campuses: Hongo, Komaba, and Kashiwa
Today we visited the main campus of the University of Tokyo - the Hongo Campus, which is also the core area of the University of Tokyo.
The campus is very quiet, with ancient buildings that are mostly European in style, large tracts of forests and lakes, and is full of profound cultural heritage. You can experience different histories and humanities in this famous school.
If you travel to Japan with your children, you must come here. It is not only a visit, but also a baptism of the soul and the start of your dreams.
🏫【Visiting route】
(You can get a map after entering the school and visit along the following route)
✅: Akamon
The landmark building of the University of Tokyo was originally the amulet gate of the Maeda family of Kaga Domain. It was first built in 1827 and is the only amulet gate surviving in Japan. It has been designated as an important cultural relic by the Japanese government. Don’t miss the photo-taking and check-in opportunity!
✅: Comprehensive Research Museum, although small, but very valuable, no need to buy tickets to enter directly
✅: Library
Once you enter the library, you will be immersed in the ocean of knowledge. You need to make an appointment in advance to visit here.
✅: Sanshiro Pond
There is a Thai BBQ truck next to it, with many students queuing up. You can buy some to try, and it tastes good!
✅: Yasuda Lecture Hall, where you can take great photos
✅: coop Dongda souvenir shop, there are many souvenirs with Dongda logo available for purchase
✅: Central Canteen
I strongly recommend that you go and check in. The cafeteria is as quiet as the library, and many students study on the second floor after dinner. Visitors can eat in the student cafeteria or use Suica cards, but they must avoid meal times and cannot enter between 11:30 and 13:30.
Be sure to try the famous Akamon Ramen, which is named after the iconic building of Tokyo University, Akamon, and was drawn into the famous Japanese manga "The Solitary Gourmet". It is affordable and tastes very good.
