Okuma Auditorium

The Okimura Lecture Hall stands as one of the most iconic buildings at the University of Tokyo—a majestic fusion of Gothic grandeur and traditional Japanese aesthetics. More than just a stunning red-brick structure, it’s a symbol of Japan’s modern intellectual awakening. Standing beneath its vaulted arches, you can almost hear the echoes of Okuma Shigenobu’s words: 'Knowledge belongs to all humanity.'
