Rikkyo University


This is the main gate of Rikkyo University, where I'm studying. Unfortunately, I didn't take a better picture - there are always too many people around and, as you can see, there's a construction site on the right. The history of the university goes all the way back to the end of the 19th century, where it was established by a missionary Channing Moore Williams. Later, in the beginnig of the 20th century, the campus was moved to Ikebukuro district. Many of the campus-buildings are influenced by wester-type constructions:


- the main dining hall


- the main library

- the chapel
