As the capital of Japan, Tokyo houses a rich culture, a vast global influence, natural and industrial beauty, and Waseda University. Regularly recognized as one of Japan's top universities, Waseda guarantees its students a world class education, and the opportunity to be at the forefront of research and innovation. Alumni prove the caliber of a Waseda education - as they range from CEOs to acclaimed writers to Japanese Prime Ministers. With a growing international population, Waseda brings together scholars from over 100 countries, facilitating a diverse setting for students to thrive in. 

On campus, one can engage in any one of the 600+ student organizations and extracurricular activities. Because there is such a diverse student body, there is "no circle that doesn't exist" at Waseda University. From Somo club to Apline club - there is something for everyone. 

Tokyo presents to students a safe, historical, and technologically advanced living environment within an immense culture. Endowed with the world's best transportation network, globally adored food, and a mix between traditional and modern lifestyles - Tokyo is consistently ranked as one of the best cities for student living. Soon to be housing the Summer Olympics, Tokyo is a hub for global relations and affairs. International students are welcomed warmly and encouraged to see all that the city has to offer. Home to both ancient shrines and temples and cutting edge architecture and skyscrapers, students can take in the sights or attend any of the season events that Tokyo is known for.
