As I’ve mentioned before, I attended Tokyo Gakugei University. But I’ve never lived at the Gakugei dorms. Instead I live about 10 minutes away (by bike), at the Hitotsubashi International Village, which is also called the Kodaira kokusai kampasu. It’s located in Kodaira, which is part of Tokyo. Train-wise, it’s near the Hitotsubashi-Gakuen train station, which is one stop down from Kokubunji, which is on the Chuo line.

Anyway, The Village…(wait…if my place of residence can be referred to as “The Village”, does that make me one of The Village People?)

Anyway, The Campus is home to students from several universities, including Hitotsubashi and Gakugei. (So yes, there’s a school called Hitotsubashi, which has other locations besides the the Hitotsubashi International Village.) There are a lot of foreign exchange students, but there are some locals as well. Everyone is a college student, though some are adults returning to college after they’ve already started a family. They get a special family-oriented building. The rest of us have normal dorm rooms.

If you want to know what my room looks like, check out my post on the subject. I’m in Building C, room 402.

Below is a video tour of the campus, in two parts. It’s really shaky, so if you don’t like the video tour just scroll down for the still pictures.
