As soon as you get off the bus, there is an entrance to an underground passage. There are no crosswalks in either direction for at least half a kilometer, so it is the only way to get to the campus, which is on the other side, the north side, of the road.
The passage is quite wide and well lit, which is good since it is mainly women and girls who use it. One interesting thing about this passage is that one of the university cleaners sweeps, mops, and dusts everyday, so it is very clean. I started to take a picture of him but he gave me a real dirty look so I stopped.
The stairs lead up to the street level, right in front of the campus.
This is the entrance to the campus. The small building on the left, houses the guard force and the large building behind it is the gym, which is shared by the junior high school, the high school and the university. They are all women only and the campus has a history of about 100 years, which is old for a Japanese school. I should add that it is nominally a Christian school, but the only one who is required to be a Christian is the president. The faculty, students, and administrators have no religious requirement. They do have a Christian service in the chapel every day at noon, but the students are not required to go. You might have wondered about the red boxes on the right. Those are mailboxes.
