自転車で京都大学時計台記念館The Kyoto University Clock Tower is a towering symbol on what is often called the Berkeley (left-wing, public, a big stable of Nobel laureates) or Yale (the "number 2" university) of Japan.
The Tower was completed in 1925 and has stood guard over and been witness to many of the liberal university's great happenings.
The campus is by national university standards not large - as Kyodai president's are fond of pointing out - but it covers a huge chunk of real estate in the eastern area of Kyoto.
Many students therefore use bicycles to get around within the campus grounds.
For those in need of a nearby caffeine fix in an atmospheric cafe, Shinshindo is the place.
