Guided Tour of Universities in Tokyo

Went on a guided tour of two of the more famous universities in Tokyo, Japan, one public - Todai, and one private - Waseda. Turns out that they are both very old, 130 and 125 years old respectively.

Don't feel like writing so much now, so I will show you with pictures instead. By the way, I was the tour guide for both places, even though there was a Waseda student present. :p

Yesterday happened to be the 125th anniversary of Waseda, so it was quite happening over there. Our tour group was more of the tree-hugging type, so we spent a lot of time strolling n stoning in the Okuma Garden, which was actually quite rustic and serene, with pretty places here and there, including a small one step bridge that was stronger than it looked. haha
