The excellent location is one of the best parts of the Aoyama Business School, set in the Aoyama Campus of Aoyama Gakuin University.
Cafes and shops line the streets of Shibuya, Omotesando, and Harajuku in the areas surrounding the campus. These spots pulse with energy until late into the night. Of course, the vicinity offers more than fun hangout spots. With a wealth of educational institutions such as the United Nations University and cultural facilities both large and small like art museums and galleries, this spot is sure to satisfy a diverse assortment of intellectual interests.
