High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yamate Gakusha is an international students' dormitory located 10 minutes' walk from Takadanobaba Station in Tokyo, Japan. The Yamate Gakusha is unique in that it is the home to at most 16 students at any one time. A dormitory rich in tradition, the institution was established thanks in part to the generosity of American members of the YMCA after the end of World War II. Their hope was that the Yamate Gakusha would enable young men from poor, rural areas of Japan to attend universities located in Tokyo. (At the time the Yamate Gakusha was established, the monthly fee was quite low. This was because the greatest obstacle preventing rural citizens of Japan from attending universities in Tokyo was the high cost of housing). Historically, an obachan (elderly woman) served as dorm cook. However, sometime prior to the 1990s she died and was never succeeded.
