Keio University is located in Tokyo and Kanagawa, one of the world's largest major metropolitan areas. Living in Tokyo is a chance to experience a Japan you will only find in the capital city. Tokyo has many contrasting faces: unique customs, natural spots rich in the beauty of the four seasons, and futuristic technology. As well as providing all the conveniences of a modern city and more, Tokyo is one of the safest places to live in the world. It is also a convenient transport hub for accessing many places not only in Japan but also the rest of Asia. 
Keio University Law School is located on the Mita campus. Mita campus has been the main site of Keio University since it was moved here in 1871 from the site of Yukichi Fukuzawa's private school for Dutch studies. About 12,000 students are enrolled at Mita Campus, which is home to four undergraduate faculties: Letters, Economics, Law, and Business and Commerce. Graduate students major in one of these four fields, or in Human Relations, or attend Keio University Law School.
