Visiting Tokyo? Then You Must Go to the University of Tokyo

💖 It would be a regret to miss this spot in Tokyo! The University of Tokyo, also known as Todai, is not only an academic powerhouse but also a cultural and historical landmark worth visiting. Its iconic Hongo campus is particularly beautiful. The easiest way to get there is by subway. You can stop at Todaimae Station on the Namboku Line (Todaimae means "in front of Todai"), which is located directly beside the university. Another option is Hongo-Sanchome Station on the Marunouchi Line, a 10-minute walk from the campus. 🥰 Here are some must-see spots when visiting the Hongo Campus: * Akamon (Red Gate): Built in 1827, it represents the university’s rich history and traditional Japanese architecture. * Sanshiro Pond: Surrounded by lush greenery, it offers a serene escape from the bustling city. * Hachiko Statue: Located near the Faculty of Agriculture. * Yasuda Auditorium * General Library * Ikenoue Pine Tree: Over 300 years old. * Ginkgo Trees: Not to be missed in autumn when they turn a brilliant yellow. After visiting the Hongo campus, you can take a short walk to Tokyo Dome nearby. #tokyotrip

University of Tokyo

Tokyo University Founded in 1877. The main campus is the Hongo campus in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, covering an area of 40 hectares. Impressive are the lush trees on campus, reflecting the rich history and vitality of this century-old prestigious school. Two rows of ginkgo trees in front of the Ando Lecture Hall (pictures 4 and 6) stand tall and straight, with fresh green leaves sprouting. It is surprising to find that most of these ginkgo trees are weeping ginkgo (picture 8).
