Continuing the series on Waseda University, I went for a Sunday morning walk on campus earlier this week. The trees were changing colors so I decided to head to high ground in Building 11 for an interesting angle on the fall colors that I will show you in a future blog entry.

I was surprised to see Mt. Fuji out the west-facing windows as well. This was my first sighting of Mt. Fuji before dusk from Tokyo.

If you make this image larger (by clicking on it), you can see a McDonald’s to the left–the same one as shown here.

Above is Building 11, where I teach two classes a week. Building 11 is home to the School of Commerce, Graduate School of Commerce, Graduate School of Accountancy, Institute of Research in Business Administration, and School of International Liberal Studies (SILS).

The weekend before I took a shot from the top of Building 11 looking down on the Waseda Festival. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice my camera settings were messed up, and the photo did not come out well. Students were doing a performance in front of the Okuma Auditorium. Thousands were in attendance. It was crazy walking through the crowds down below.

Here is a video of that performance:
