	Tokyo 6 Universities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tokyo 6 universities (東京六大学,Tōkyō roku daigaku) are prominent universities that are located in the city and prefecture of Tokyo: Tokyo, Waseda, Keio, Hosei, Meiji, and Rikkyo (St Paul's).
		The group of universities is sometimes compared (notably by their students and graduates) with the "Ivy League", but some are not considered highly as others; Hosei, Meiji, and Rikkyo, though famous, are considered somewhat less prestigious mainly due to differences in admissions.
		Notable Tokyo universities that are not among the six include Sophia, Aoyama Gakuin, Chuo and Hitotsubashi universities and the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

		Tokyo is Japan's capital, and while it has effectively been the seat of central government since not long after Tokugawa Ieyasu moved to Edo (the old name of Tokyo) in 1590, the official capital remained Kyoto - as it was from 794 for over 1000 years until the Meiji Restoration of 1868.
		On the whole though, Tokyo's main attractions are thoroughly contemporary destinations such as Odaiba, Akihabara, the various museums in Ueno Park and elsewhere, plus interesting workplaces such as the Tsukiji fish markets and Tokyo Stock Exchange.
		Tokyo is big, busy, slightly expensive, a fun place to visit, a slightly frustrating place to learn Japanese in, and since it is often where the jobs are - home to about 80% of Japan's foreign residents.

	Japanese Education System - Higher Education
		Universities have an important function in certifying students, but faculty devotion to teaching and to students is limited, student preparations are far less than prior to the entrance examination, analytic rigor in the classroom is lacking, and attendance is poor.
		One of the major objectives in creating a large number of 4-year universities after the war was to broaden opportunities for higher education and in the process dilute the dominance of the small number of elite universities.
		While University of Tokyo graduates, for example, populate key sectors of government and business, there are few graduates of the traditional top ranked universities in the new generation of Japan's fastest growing companies, in part because the graduates prefer the firms with established prestige rather than those in the process of moving up.

		Tokyo has no old, grand hotels in the tradition of the Peninsula in Hong Kong or the Raffles in Singapore; it has hardly any old hotels, period.
		Space is at a premium in Tokyo, so with the exception of some rooms in very expensive hotels, rooms seem to come in three sizes: minuscule, small, and barely adequate.

		The University was founded by an American Episcopalian (Anglican to Aussies) missionary in early 1874 and the elegant architecture resembles what I guess you see in American Ivy League schools and while the grounds are small, the University is quite impressive.
