Rikkyo is about 10 minutes' walk from Ikebukuro Station - and is along a street ("Rikkyo Street") lined with eateries and shops. Purple flags hung on every lamp post indicate the direction to school, along with the occasional "Congratulations on making it into Rikkyo" banners hung across the street.

入学おめでとうございます!

"Harry Potter"-esque dining hall


cheerleaders and bands were performing all day to recruit new members

Tonight's dinner was goooood - えびフライー定食 with red bean rice (!)

Hugggeee bowl of ramen near school (look at the sheer height!)
