History
Japan Women's School of Higher Education (日本女子高等学院, Nihon Joshi Kōtō Gakuin), the predecessor of this university, was established by poet Enkichi Hitomi (pseudonym: Tōmei Hitomi), who gathered together his intelligentsia friends that sympathized with the minds of those fashionable idols at the time, notably Leo Tolstoy, Rabindranath Tagore and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Hitomi Memorial Hall
The Hitomi Kinen Kōdō on the university campus is famous for its great acoustics and has been used for many classical concerts with many famous conductors. Since the opening of Suntory Hall at Akasaka in central Tokyo in October 1986, the number of such prominent concerts have decreased, but it is still sometimes used for concerts open to the public.
