Information About

Hosei University




It developed from a school of Law established in 1880 and merged with a school of French Studies in 1889 . It adopted the name "Hosei University" in 1903 and was recognized as a private university in 1920 .

Notable figures involved in its foundation include Dr. Gustave Emile Boissonade , Dr. Masaaki Tomii , and
Dr. Ume Kenjiro , "father of the Japanese Civil Code".

Hosei has three main campuses, which it calls Ichigaya, Koganei, and Tama. The Ichigaya campus is halfway between Ichigaya and Iidabashi stations in central Tokyo; its 26-story Boissonade Tower, completed in 2000, can be seen from either station. Sciences are studied at the Koganei campus to the west of Tokyo, and other subjects are split between Tama, which is near Hachiōji , and Ichigaya.
