PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
- Settle into Tokyo’s quiet Nerima Ward—the birthplace of anime—and explore its museums, ramen shops, sushi counters, and the parks that have inspired Japanese art and entertainment. When you’re ready for a faster pace, hop on a bus or train and find yourself in bustling Shibuya Crossing, Ikebukuro’s “Sunshine City”, or Harajuku’s vibrant fashion scene— all in under an hour.
- Flourish in seminar-style classes that foster meaningful conversation and personal growth. With a population of around 5,000 students, Musashi is small enough to allow you to feel connected, yet large enough to offer variety. Pair your coursework in East Asian Studies with Japanese language study at your level and utilize your newfound knowledge and skills while navigating daily life in Tokyo.
- Join a warm, inclusive campus community supported by the Global Education Center and student groups like Campus Mates, English Jam, and the English-Speaking Society. Enjoy inviting campus spaces—from rooftop gardens to open courtyards—designed for studying, relaxing, and building community.
- Use Tokyo as your launchpad for exploring Japan and beyond: spend weekends visiting temples in Kyoto, tasting street food in Osaka, or catching quick flights to destinations like South Korea or the Philippines. Musashi’s location makes both domestic and regional travel easy and accessible.
LIFE ABROAD
When you study at Musashi University, you’ll find yourself in northwest Tokyo’s tranquil Nerima ward, the birthplace of anime. Experience a wide selection of nearby museums, parks, restaurants, and cultural attractions while having easy access to Tokyo’s city center via public transit.
What We Love About Musashi
If you’re seeking a gentler cultural transition while still living in proximity to one of the biggest cities in the world, Musashi is the program for you. Your home base is only 20-40 minutes to Tokyo’s city center via train, but you’ll be nestled in a quiet neighborhood where you can thrive personally and academically. Living outside the city center gives you the chance to immerse yourself in authentic Japanese daily life while still having all the advantages of Tokyo at your fingertips.
