The Hongo campus has been the university's centre since 1884, when the university's administration office relocated to the site. The campus faces [[Shinobazu Pond]] in [[Ueno Park]] to the east and has in its vicinity the electric district [[Akihabara]], the city's bookshop hub, [[Jimbōchō Book Town|Jimbōchō]], and the city's largest indoor stadium, [[Tokyo Dome]]. The campus is served by three [[Tokyo Metro]] stations: [[Hongō-sanchōme Station|Hongo-sanchome]], [[Tōdaimae Station|Todai-mae]], and [[Nezu Station|Nezu]].<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=The University of Tokyo |url=https://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/about/access.html |access-date=2024-02-15 |website=The University of Tokyo |language=en}}</ref> It occupies the former estate of the [[Maeda clan|Maeda]] family, [[Edo period]] [[feudal lord]]s of [[Kaga Province]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-01-16|title=Japan's new university entrance exams underway amid virus pandemic|url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/01/16/national/japan-university-entrance-exams-coronavirus/|access-date=2021-03-24|website=The Japan Times|language=en-US|archive-date=2021-01-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210116220149/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/01/16/national/japan-university-entrance-exams-coronavirus/|url-status=live}}</ref> One of the university's best known landmarks, [[Akamon (Tokyo)|Akamon]] (the Red Gate), is a relic of this era.
