Rikkyo University's Ikebukuro campus is a red-brick campus founded by American Episcopal missionaries, centred on the ivy-covered Morris Hall of 1919, with a chapel and the Mather Library Memorial Hall, all listed as historic buildings by the Tokyo government. Ten minutes from the west exit, and it feels nothing like the station around it.

Insider tip
Visitors can walk the main quad in front of Morris Hall. Keep to the open areas during term. The ivy is at its best in autumn, when it turns red.
