It is also famed for the Akamon (Red Gate) at the front of the university, which was built in the Edo period for military governors to welcome their brides.

Seikei University

Seikei University is not so famous in Kansai area, but most of people have seen its campus even they do not know about the University. Can you guess why?

It is because Seikei University is used as a shooting location for “Hana Yori Dango” (also known as “Boys Over Flowers”)!!! “Hana Yori Dango” is one of the most popular comic and TV drama which Jun Matsumoto (ARASHI member) starred in.
