	Rikkyo St. Paul's University front gate

When entering into the campus in Rikkyo St. Paul's University, it learns the illusion as if to have gone to the foreign country just like. Rikkyo St. Paul's University opened the private school which teaches the foreigner compound at Tokyo Tsukiji English and the Bible by the missionary, Channing Moore Williams bishop in the America Anglican Church in the early years of Meiji era and was the beginning and sang the education which is based on the christianity by the missionaries. It is in 1918 that it moved a campus to this Ikebukuro and the building which was built at this time is left about the main building, the library, the No. 2 building, the No. 3 building and the dining room, to be well even now. In English, it becomes "SENTOPO-RUZUKARETUZI".
Anyhow, the point that all buildings are unified by the brick style and to be considering thoroughly to the view is wonderful. It has felt this delicate sense like the one which is not in the Japanese. The thorough contemplation and the uniformity to the red brick that the new official residence to be constructing at present, too, arranges a brick in the meanwhile of glass and concrete, and so on, are worth about the acclamation. When setting pace foot, exoticism much campus space is spread and moreover the slightly cramped space at the building which was built in the Taisho Era rather becomes the one as it makes have pleasure. Also, the dining room is wonderful. Regrettably, when going, it wasn't doing business, being a holiday but it is the atmosphere which the wedding seems given to just as it is by the feeling as it eats at a form of joking restaurant. The menu wants to attempt to be tasted about how it is.

The main building which the ivy twines round (Morris building)

This main building is the one which was built by 1918 (1918) to have been specified by the Tokyo selection historic landmark, too, and for Rikkyo St. Paul's University to have been moved to Ikebukuro. By the one by the architect murphy & Dana architecture office of the plan in this university in New York , It is doing the plan to arrange a tower shop at the center then, the left arranges a chapel (the chapel) on the library, the right to the border, and extends an axis at the center and surrounds a court and for it to place a dormitory on either side to the center in the school cafeteria. Design at each building makes Gothic revival form a basis and is gathered by the solid red brick appearance while simple. (It excerpts a part from the Tokyo life culture bureau signboard).

The image of the chapel (the chapel) and Williams bishop

The inner main building door is Western-style.

But the lamp "to be during class" is put to the door in each classroom
By the foreigner whom this character isn't just accustomed to
There is zest in the feeling as it wrote in the handwriting.

The care to the fluorescent lamp in the corridor, too, is thorough.
It is not to be green, too, and the fluorescent lamp of the bulb color is used for all.
Stupidities such as the fluorescent lamp with the paleness of only one aren't done.

A brick is used for the pillar at the BBS to being for students, too.

It seems that it is requiem singing meeting Rikkyo St. Paul's University.
