About
Gakushūin University (学習院大学, Gakushūin Daigaku) is a private university in Mejiro, Toshima, Tokyo. The Gakushūin ('Peers' School') was founded in 1847, and Gakushūin University was established in 1949. During the Meiji period, Gakushūin was reorganized to educate the children of the Japanese nobility, but at that time the institution had only primary and secondary education departments. The university was established after World War II as the tertiary component of the reorganised and privatised Gakushūin School Corporation. The university is still noted for its royal connections, with most of the members of the present Imperial Family among its alumni.
