Imperial University
The Imperial University System is a group of universities originally run by the Imperial Government, throughout the Japanese Empire. The Ministry of Education still has some influence in running the Imperial University system, but today, the system is largely independent, with considerable autonomy for each school
Today, the system, particularly, Quiòto Imperial University, is the choice of almost all young nobles and Imperial Family members. It also attracts commoner students from around Japan and overseas.
Until her assassination, Empress Gacudai received private instruction completing the schooling she was undertaking at Quiòto Imperial University prior to her ascent to the throne.
Schools in the Imperial University System are:
- Tòquiò Imperial University (founded 1877 as Tòquiò University) "Tòdai"
