Campus Tours

In March 2019, Waseda University officially launched its first interactive virtual campus tour to give prospective students and visitors all over the world the opportunity to explore and discover our campuses from wherever they are, at any time.

From lecture halls to cafeterias, museums, and more, this virtual tour gives a 360° panoramic view of the various kinds of facilities and locations available on campus. Listen to the narrations by our student guides who describe historical episodes and other interesting facts about our landmarks and buildings. Visitors can also catch a glimpse of the student life at Waseda by clicking on the interactive photo gallery which will display photos and videos of events that happened at each site of the tour.

This virtual tour is currently available for the Waseda, Toyama, Nishi-Waseda, and Tokozawa campuses in both English and Japanese.

Click here or the image above to start the tour.

In-person campus tours are led by student guides, who describe historical episodes, student life and landmarks around the University.

Waseda campus tours are open to prospective students, their parents and alumni. Current students are also welcome. On the tour, participants are shown around the Okuma Auditorium clock tower and other places not normally open to the public. How about taking a tour with your family or friends?

For Guests Taking a Self-Guided Tour:

• The main campus area is open to the general public, so there is no need to notify Waseda of your visit in advance.
• Campuses are also open on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. However, please note that the campus will be closed for a period in February due to entrance exams. Please see this page for the opening hours of each campus.
• Brochures and other materials related to Waseda are available at the Waseda University History Museum on the 1st floor of Building 1 on the Waseda Campus.
• Only authorized personnel are allowed inside the classrooms in each building, the Okuma Auditorium, and the library (with the exception of the Exhibition Room in the Center for Scholarly Information), so entry is prohibited.
