Location 1

Takadanobaba Campus

Known for its close proximity to Waseda University, Takadanobaba is largely a student-oriented area. Everything in the area is catered to a student’s lifestyle. You’ll find many affordable, but delicious places to eat and drink. Karaoke, bowling, darts, bars, you name it, this place has got it. Best of all, the main point of this area is affordability for students. If you make your way over to Waseda University, you can take advantage of their facilities even if you’re not an enrolled student. You can sit and study in their buildings or head over to their cafeteria for a bite to eat. It’s a great place to make some friends at one of the most prestigious private universities in Japan.

Location 2

Shibuya-Harajuku Campus

Shibuya is Tokyo’s cultural mecca and business hub, where fashion, art, and food thrive alongside technology and commerce. Packed with bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, and entertainment, there’s always something to see, do, and experience.

Harajuku, the birthplace of Kawaii culture, is Tokyo’s creative playground, where bold fashion and pop culture take center stage. Takeshita Street is bursting with quirky boutiques, colorful trends, and sweet treats. Just beyond the buzz, Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park provide a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

Students are assigned to either the Shibuya or Harajuku campus by the school. However, with the two locations just a short walk apart, they can freely explore both areas, enjoy shared facilities, and connect with classmates across both campuses.
