[edit] History
The University is the oldest institution devoted to international studies in Japan. It began as Institute for Research of Foreign Documents (蛮書調所 Bansho Shirabesho?), a Tokugawa shougunate's translation bureau set up in 1857.
Then it was established as an independent educational and research institution with the name Tokyo School of Foreign Languages (東京外國語學校 Tōkyō gaikokugo gakkō?) in 1899.
In 1999, the University celebrated both the 126th anniversary of its original establishment and the 100th anniversary of its independence. It subsequently moved its campus to its present location, where students can study in a modern, hi-tech environment. Having entered the 21st century, TUFS continues to play a leading role as a center of excellence in international studies, research, and worldwide academic exchange.
