History of Waseda

With the establishment of Tokyo Senmon Gakko, the predecessor of Waseda University, in 1891, the area developed into an educational district.
The number of boarding houses, restaurants, and real estate agencies for students gradually increased.
There are currently four Waseda University campuses: the main campus, the Faculty of Letters, Arts and Sciences campus, the Kikuimachi campus, and the Faculty of Science and Engineering campus, all of which are crowded with students.
