History

The university traces its origins to 1875,[1] when Tokyo Women's Normal School was founded in Tokyo's Ochanomizu neighborhood. It subsequently underwent a series of name changes: "The Women's Campus of Tokyo Normal School", "The Women's Campus of Higher Normal School", "Women's Higher Normal School", and "Tokyo Women’s Higher Normal School."[1]

The original campus was destroyed in the Great Kantō earthquake; in December, 1932, a new campus was established in its present location in the Ōtsuka neighborhood of Bunkyō, Tokyo.

It was established as Ochanomizu University in 1949[1] and became a national university corporation under Japan's National University Corporation Law in 2004.[1]
