Where students study
Tokyo contains a large share of institutions, but major programmes are distributed across Kansai, Chubu, Kyushu, Tohoku, Hokkaido and other regions. Campus location, language environment and transport should guide the choice.
Look beyond the capital
Smaller university cities may offer a different pace, housing market and campus community. Let the programme fit lead the choice.
Start with Tokyo, not assumptions
Use the live catalogue's city filter to confirm the actual teaching location, then compare transport, housing, language environment and programme facilities.
