Campus and city

Keio's campus life spans three distinct locations: Mita (Minato-ku, central Tokyo) hosts upper-year seminars and the iconic red-brick library; Hiyoshi (Yokohama) serves as the vibrant freshman and sophomore campus with modern facilities and green space; SFC (Shonan Fujisawa) is the technology and policy innovation hub housing GIGA students. With 33,000 students across campuses, the community feels intimate compared to larger rivals. Over 400 registered clubs range from competitive baseball (Keio dominates Tokyo Big6 League) to traditional arts. The annual Mita Festival in November draws 200,000+ visitors with student-run food stalls, performances, and academic exhibitions. Yokohama is 30 minutes from Mita, offering affordable housing and waterfront dining. Tokyo access means world-class restaurants, museums, and nightlife steps away. Dormitory spots are limited (around 1,200 beds) but the Global House and homestay programs support international students. Campus culture blends traditional bento lunches under cherry blossoms in spring with the legendary summer Mita Beer Garden rooftop gatherings.
