University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus, University campus in Komaba district, Meguro, Japan.
The University of Tokyo's Komaba Campus is an educational facility in Meguro with academic buildings, research laboratories, sports facilities, and planted grounds. The grounds spread across a large area featuring modern and older structures that together create a working academic environment.
The site began as an agricultural school before joining the University of Tokyo in 1935 through a land exchange with another educational institution. This agricultural background shaped the place's early years and its layout.
The campus is where first-year and second-year students gather and interact during their foundational years. You will notice groups of young people spending time together on the green areas throughout the day.
Access is through Komaba-Todaimae Station on the Keio Inokashira Line. From the east exit of the station, you can reach the grounds easily and explore the area on foot.
The grounds house a large wind tunnel facility that traces back to the site's historical involvement in aircraft research and development. This installation shows how the institution engaged in applied research beyond classroom teaching.
