    It was a nice tour of Utokyo. It could have been a bit longer and the guide could have told us a bit more about the university instead of just repeating that it is old and top 1 in Japan but with different Words. The guide did tell us a couple of interesting facts about a few of the building on campus and that was really fun to hear. All in all, the tour is alright. I do think it could be a lot better if it was a little bit more extensive and explored a but more of the campus than just the first area. Would recommend if you are thinking about studying at a Japanese University or if you are just interested in Utokyo, but not if you just want to see it for the sake of seeing it.

    The University of Tokyo tour was super exciting and definitely a highlight of the trip. The campus was amazing, and it felt really cool walking around such a well known university. The tour guide was awesome her English was really clear, and the explanations were easy to follow but still interesting. She shared fun facts and details that kept us engaged the whole time. The tour never felt boring, and we were able to learn a lot while having fun. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and informative experience that made us appreciate the university even more.
