The University of Tokyo

Very peaceful campus environments for visitors to enjoy walking. In addition to simple but well pruned trees, the campus is full of history for the early British and other European faculties'' influence, including various building, while some buildings and Main Gate do try to preserve Japanese culture style.

Campus stores, including cafeteria and other stores, such as Starbucks, do welcome visitors. On campus, visitors can see students riding bikes from one department or research building to the other during the short break. In front of medical school building and hospital, visitors may see a few faculty-professors who drive sport cars to attend the class session, and driving sport cars is not common in Japanese society. .

In Japan, college campus is seldom promoted as a tour attraction, even though most of the colleges and universities, including Tokyo University, Kyoto University, or Tohoku University, do NOT restrict tourist visit. Even for Japanese government tourist bureau, Japanese National Tourism Organization [JNTO] seldom includes college campus as part of tour attractions on its publications for Practical Travel Guides for Tokyo or Kyoto, although, sometimes, tourists can visit specific college campus, incidentally, in short walking distance. For example, visitors to Ueno Park, Tokyo, can actually walk to University of Tokyo within 30 minutes.
