    Really recommend the ginkgo avenue at the entrance of the university. Near the shop (coop) there's this hidden pond, and i think it's really good to go there as well. It's kind of Tokyo's hidden gem tho! Really loves the architecture of the building as well. They have halal meal on their cafetaria.

    Tokyo university, the best school in Asia. When I stepped into the school gate, I felt full of the academic atmosphere around and it leads me to explore this small world, which is composed lots of great thoughts, ancient building and Japanese culture. I found there is a lots of gingko. I take a picture to the biggest one, which might be the oldest one in this school. In autumn, this place will be decorated to a golden world with gingko. It is worth to visit.

    Very nice campus with well maintained historical buildings and neatly manicured landscape. We went in the last week of November and caught the right season when Ginkgo trees turn into a sea of yellow! Would be a dream to study here.

    This is my university, I spend 4 years here. One of the best university in the world. The beauty of campus is amazing, therefore in fall; lots of people visit the campus. Best place to shoot autumn vibe photos for social media. Moreover you can feel the vibes from my posted photos. Both Adult and kids will enjoy the place.

    Although I've never studied at this place, this place was worth a visit. I visited the university of Tokyo as part of the jenesys international exchange program. I've never such a diverse and huge University in my entire life. It's one of the top 5 universities in Asia and one of the top universities in the world. There's a suicide point that's really famous inside the university. Just like almost the entirety of Japan this place is a must visit in Autumn.

    Both in name and reality Tokyo university would be probably the top uni in Japan. I strongly recommend this university to everyone cause it’s so close from the Ueno park and Kyu Iwasaki-tei garden. It would be a great walking tour course. It doesn’t matter where you start from. The Ueno park , Kyu Iwasaki-tei garden and then Tokyo university ~ According to the Wikipedia Tokyo uni has been one of the first Asian university that tends to be a feature of modern times. Needless to say many students from all over Japan would be burning the midnight oil to get in this uni at right this moment. If you look at the grand clock tower building which is called the Yasda auditorium, you would be more impressed by the graceful and imposing appearance of it. Under the clock tower building there’s a cafeteria. It’s open to everyone. Even though you are not a student of this school you’re more than welcome to have a lunch or a cup of coffee. Low-priced and excellent food!! That’s why this cafeteria is popular to the public. I would definitely visit here again when the tall ginkgo trees in the campus turn yellow. This uni would be so beautiful in autumn.

    The highest ranked University in Japan, founded 150 years ago. The campus is opened to the public where you are take a walk while enjoying the beauty of historic buildings and nature there. The nearest station is Todaimae which means ''in front of Tokyo Uni''. How intesting it is. The best season to visit Todai is definitely Fall. I was lucky to capture a photo of a huge Ginkgo tree as per attachment.

    Glad I visited this place. It was awesome especially on a Sunday morning when there was hardly anyone. I went to the following places: Statue of Hachiko and his master, Yasuda auditorium, Sanshiro Pond, Daiwa ubiquitous computing research building and Akamon.

    I went here in mid December and was surprised that there was still ginko despite most ginko have fallen in the city streets! The campus was quiet and the atmosphere was nice as a university.

    While in the Ueno Park area you can take walk for a peak at some of the old buildings of University of Tokyo, first Imperial University and the most prestigious in Japan. Access on the University grounds is allowed even when there are no students. The place looked deserted but I can imagine how it is with students around. Even though it was a rainy afternoon, visiting the University of Tokyo was a pleasant experience
