Kamii University Campus from "Tokyo Ghoul"

【英】東京ロケ旅詳細

Rikkyo University

Movie
Northern Ward Area
The movie "Tokyo Ghoul" (2017) was filmed at Rikkyo University as Kamii University, in Toshima ward, Ikebukuro Campus.
The story originally was created having Rikkyo University as a base. Normally, the University staff will not rent the campus for filming, but this time the production team tried really hard to get approval and succeeded. This was our first choice of all locations and it was very easy to film there. From the first time I started to hunt for a filming location, I felt this University would be a great set no matter where you aim the camera. The buildings are all old architecture with the feel of history, and were all beautiful. I wished to film more from this location. The challenge we had at this location would be that there was too much ivy. The scene called for a fall seasonal effect, but during filming it was mid summer and the ivy was very overgrown (lol). We had to remove some of the color to make it seem less summer like. The most memorable moment from the shooting at Rikkyo University would be the scene where Hide (Kai Ogasawara) and Kaneki (Masataka Kubota) walked together. In the original story, in this scene where Hide is becoming distant from Kaneki, Hide is walking with his arms crossed behind his head. We don't normally walk like that. But this scene was required it of me and I wished to do it. It was hard to make it seem natural, given that this is pretty unnatural, according to movie "Tokyo Ghoul" Director, Kentaro Hagiwara.
