The University of Tokyo

The University of Tokyo is the first national university in Japan, and its comprehensive strength ranks first in Japan. All disciplines of the University of Tokyo have no obvious shortcomings, and it can be called a "hexagonal warrior". It has nurtured 11 Nobel Prize winners and 16 Japanese prime ministers. It is not only Japan's top university, but also a well-deserved world-class academic sanctuary. The University of Tokyo has a total of 3 campuses: Hongo, Komaba, and Kashiwa This time we visited the main campus of the University of Tokyo-Hongo Campus, which is also the heart of the University of Tokyo. No reservation is required, just go in directly, and you can bring your children with you Transportation🚇: Take the subway from different stations to the "Marunouchi Line Hongo Sanchome" station, exit from Exit 2, and then open the Google Maps navigation to walk to the University of Tokyo, which takes about 10 minutes The campus is very quiet, with ancient buildings, basically European style, large tracts of forests and lakes, and a very deep cultural heritage. I really like to experience different history and humanities in different famous schools

University of Tokyo is a big university, it has a very big land with big trees everywhere. So calm, quite, and also relaxing. And it where I found the reunited statue of hachiko and Prof Ueno. I went to The University of Tokyo to meet my friend. When I wait for him, I came across wonderful nature. Sitting on the bench and looking at the scenery is great!

The University of Tokyo was founded in 1877. It was formed by the merger of "Tokyo Kaisei School" and "Tokyo Medical School" during the Meiji Restoration. It initially had four faculties of law, science, literature, and medicine and a university preparatory school. It is the first national comprehensive university in Japan, and some of its departments can be traced back to the Emperor Reigen period; the school was renamed "Imperial University" in 1886, which was also the first imperial university established in Japan; in 1897, it was renamed "Tokyo Imperial University"; in September 1947 after World War II, it was officially named "Tokyo University". In May, the cherry blossoms of Tokyo University have long faded, but the campus is still very beautiful, with a low-key atmosphere and European-style buildings. It is still worth visiting here to check in and do two things: take a photo with the symbol of Tokyo University, "Akamon", and have a meal in the central cafeteria.

2019-8-8 Falling in love with a city - First encounter with the Imperial University of Japan in the first year of Reiwa No matter which city I go to, besides the scenic spots and historical sites, my favorite places to go are the local universities and museums. Coming out of Ueno Park in Bunkyo District, bypassing the Shinobazu Pond, I soon found my way to the Ike-no-Hatamon Gate of the University of Tokyo; the first thing I saw was the School of Medicine. The University of Tokyo was founded in 1877. It was formed by the merger of the "Tokyo Kaisei School" and the "Tokyo Medical School" during the Meiji Restoration, so the School of Medicine is a very powerful major. Today I decided to eat at the Tokyo University cafeteria, but I was afraid that it would be past the lunchtime, so I navigated directly to the central cafeteria when I entered the campus, but I found the second cafeteria first, so I tried it here; I had a bowl of soba noodles, my family had a bowl of beef rice, and a side dish. The rice was not enough, so I added 80g for 50 yen, a total of 953 yen, which is cheap in Japan; it would only cost about 30 yuan in a domestic school cafeteria; but the cafeteria is indeed clean and orderly, with free self-service of various condiments, free self-service of hot and cold water, and matcha, and the tableware is directly sent to the kitchen for cleaning via a conveyor belt after the meal. After the meal, I strolled around the campus, with towering ancient trees, wandering in the campus full of vibrant students, and admiring the ancient buildings in this campus with a long history and culture. It can be said to be a product of the combination of Japan and the West. The campus is not as beautiful as imagined, but from its buildings and green vegetation, I deeply feel the precipitation of time. As for how this campus can produce 9 Nobel Prize winners, it is his academic philosophy, and you can feel it from the school motto of "Winning by quality, and taking quantity by quality". The teaching building is clean and quiet. There are academic displays and lecture notices on the wall. The garbage classification is clear here. There are several gates in Tokyo University. When I entered from the Ikenodu Gate, I didn't find the "University of Tokyo" sign. When I left, I walked to the Akamon Gate. There was a lot of people here, so I had to take a photo with everyone, but there was still no "University of Tokyo" sign at this gate. I navigated to the main gate again. There were fewer people than the Akamon Gate, but there was still no sign. I looked at Baidu and found out that the Akamon Gate is the common name of the gate of the Imperial Court, which is an important cultural heritage of Japan. The emblem of the University of Tokyo is composed of two overlapping ginkgo leaves, one yellow and one blue. Because the most widely planted tree species on campus is ginkgo, the University of Tokyo uses this as its emblem; I personally think that this blue represents the youth of the students, and the future of the students who continue to make progress will have a golden and brilliant future; just like these two simple overlapping leaves, the meaning is profound and not ostentatious, just like there are no signs of each gate, but there are many people who come inexplicably. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately pursue form in everything. "Quality" determines tomorrow. I will visit again when I have time.

It's very close to the subway station, Tangdao. Although Japan's first school, but the gate did not find a huge school sign, there are many ancient buildings in the campus, there is no high-rise pressure. The trees are shady and the plan is orderly. The restaurant at the entrance of the school is also dominated by Western food.

When it comes to outings, I always put university campuses on my itinerary, because spring is the beginning of the year and is full of vitality, just like university campuses always bring people a thriving feeling; and the green space and landscape that are never lacking on campus will be more flavorful under the decoration of spring. For my outing in Tokyo, I chose the first university in Japan - the University of Tokyo. The Akamon Gate of the University of Tokyo has a history of more than 100 years. It is named for its vermilion lacquer. The bright red color complements the green plants around it. Although it was a weekend, the crowded crowd made me feel that there must be some activities going on. As expected, that day happened to be the Spring School Festival of the University of Tokyo, which is one of the most important activities in Japanese universities. It was really pleasantly surprised. Students sang, danced, performed acrobatics... and showed their unique skills at the event; at the same time, they also made many simulated stores, selling various foods, groceries, etc. From delicious octopus balls, to beef barbecue, to hot spring egg noodles... there were many stalls, which lined up the main roads of the entire campus, providing delicious dishes for tourists who were outing. Because it is a fully open event, many Japanese people will also come to the university's school festival to join in the fun, the elderly come to experience the culture of young people, and mothers bring their children to experience university life in advance. When you are tired of walking around, sit on a chair by the roadside and feel the gentle spring breeze. It is so comfortable. Yasuda Auditorium is an important academic symbol of the University of Tokyo. The tree-lined path in front of it presents different colors in four seasons. It is one of the places that outing tourists must not miss.

Take time to visit Dongda University. The teaching building and canteen were not open on Sunday, and the museum was closed for repairs. Only souvenir shops opened their doors. The campus was quiet. When I asked about the canteen location, I chatted with some enthusiastic students who came to the convenience store to buy it. If I could have been here a few years ago, I would really like to come here for further study.
