Doshisha University Kambaikan

It is located next to the subway «Imadegawa» station. Very favorable accessibility. Red brick wall buildings, a chapel are lined up in not so wide ground.
To tell the truth, I am an alumina of this university. I first came here on the one-​day school excursion in my high school days (when I was the third grade). We acted for a group and headed to Doshisha for insight after worshipping in Kitano tenmangu which is dedicated to a deity of scholarship. We got lost and arrived at Shinmachi campus which was like a plain high school building, which betrayed our expectation. We imagined Doshisha university would boast high-​sense and sophisticated buildings. When we were at a loss what to do, a tall cool guy of the university student talked to us, «What are you doing here?» We explained him our situation and then he took us to the fashionable campus of Imadegawa. It was a good memory for me.
Back to the main topic, since then I had been knocked out by its academic and classical atmosphere. At that time a student hall stood in the vicinity (walk for a minute and across the road), which was just a ferroconcrete building and put emphasis on only function. However ten years ago or so it was reconstructed to be as fashionable as the Imadegawa campus. It has had a high reputation and I had opportunities to come here to listen to a lecture meeting and see flower arrangement demonstration by Ryuho Sasaoka. Inside hall was not large but excellent! Its stage is not so high that audience can feel close to the performer.
A nice café is also annexed. If I have another chance to drop by, I am going to have lunch there.
