The campus of the University of Tokyo is the location of the first modern Japanese university. The campus is of historical note for two reasons. First, it was not damaged by the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake nor by air raids during World War II. Second, many university buildings have been declared National Treasures of Japan as they are examples of historic architectural design. This article focuses on registered cultural heritage.〔〔 ==Hongo campus== The Hongo campus has many historic buildings including Yasuda Auditorium, the first registered tangible cultural heritage property in Tokyo. Other examples of registered cultural heritage sites are the Main Gate, including the porter's lodge; buildings 1, 2 and 3 of the Faculty of Law & Letters; the building housing the Faculty of Engineering (Reppin-kan); and building 1 of the Faculty of Engineering. All campus buildings, except for the front gate, were designed by Yoshikazu Uchida in the Gothic style known as ''Uchida Gothic''. One of the most notable examples of this style is the Faculty of Medicine Building 3, the administration building for Medicine; however, there are many other Uchida Gothics on campus.〔東京大学出版会編 (University of Tokyo Press, Editors) 1960 『東京大学:その百年』 (''University of Tokyo: One Hundred Years'') 東京大学出版会 (University of Tokyo Press)〕 〔寺崎昌男 (Terasaki Masao) 2007 『東京大学の歴史 大学制度の先駆け』 (History of the University of Tokyo: Forerunner of the University System) 講談社 (Kodansha - Academic Paperback; ISBN 978-4-061-59799-0)〕 〔木下直之 (Kinoshita Naoyuki) 2005 『東京大学本郷キャンパス案内』 (''University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus Guidebook'') 東京大学出版会 (University of Tokyo Press)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Campus of the University of Tokyo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
