KCP Student Emily Cole Visits Tokyo University and Odaiba

Fall 2012 KCP alumna Emily Cole takes us around Tokyo again, this time to Tokyo University and to Odaiba. Thanks for these wonderful shots!

Some background information:

Tokyo University (Tokyo daigaku or “Todai” for short), Japan’s most prestigious university, was established in 1877 and currently accommodates around 30,000 students in a school year.

Odaiba, an artificial island in Tokyo Bay, is home to many popular destinations such as DiverCity and the Telecom Center.

Check out Emily’s photos:

The school’s science building had a lot of billboards posted around the central atrium. I had fun seeing how much of the Japanese I could understand. Quite the different graphic design style! | KCP Flickr
