history
The university shares origins with Tokyo University and Hitotsubashi University . The school began in 1856/1857 as Bansho Shirabesho ( 蕃 書 調 所 , dt. "Institute for the investigation of foreign documents"), which was later divided into two schools in 1873: (1) Kaisei School ( 開 成 学校 , Kaisei gakkō , merged in 1877 to the University of Tokyo), and (2) Foreign Language School Tokyo 東京 外国語 学校 , Tōkyō gaikokugo gakkō ) with five language sections (English, German, French , Russian and Chinese ). The foreign language school was merged in 1885 to form the Tokyo School of Commerce ( 東京 商業 学校 , Tōkyō shōgyō gakkō , today: Hitotsubashi University). Her then campus was located in Kanda -Hitotsubashi ( 35 ° 41 '32.1 " N , 139 ° 45' 29.7" O ), where the business school until the Kanto Earthquake developed (hence the name Hitotsubashi -University).
In 1897 the foreign language school at the Tokyo Business School was rebuilt, and in 1899 it became an independent school (newer foreign language school Tokyo) with a new campus. It moved a few times, and in 1940 moved to the Nishigahara campus ( 35 ° 44 ′ 32.8 ″ N , 139 ° 44 ′ 8.3 ″ E ). In 1944 it was renamed the Tokyo School of Foreign Studies ( 東京 外事 専 門 学校 , Tōkyō gaiji semmon gakkō ), and in 1949 it developed into the Foreign Language University Tokyo. In 2000, today's campus in Fuchū was reopened.
