Template:Nihongo is a private university in Mejiro, Toshima, Tokyo.

The Gakushūin (or "Peers School") was established during the Meiji period to educate the children of the Japanese nobility, but back then the institution had only the primary and secondary education departments. The university was established after World War II as tertiary component of the reorganised and privatised Gakushūin School Corporation.

The university is still noted for its royal connections, with most of the members of the present Imperial Family among its alumni.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
