context_page_description: Keio University is the oldest and most highly rated private university in Japan. Due to its age, its campuses have many historic buildings.
context_section_description: The Hiyoshi campus opened in 1934. During World War II, some buildings were used by the Imperial Navy of Japan's (大日本帝國海軍, Dainihon teikoku kaigun) third region of naval operations (軍令部3部, Gunrei-bu san-bu) personnel division, engineering unit, headquarters of its combined squadron (連合艦隊司令, Rengō Kantai shirei-bu), naval command (海軍総隊司令部, Kaigun sōtai shirei-bu) and carrier air-wing command (航空本部, Kōkū honbu). Soon after its relocation the navy constructed a dugout, which remains. The campus still contains some undeveloped areas. Its main road, 22 metres (72 ft) wide and 220 metres (720 ft) long (from Hiyoshi station to the Commemorative Hall, lined with 100 ginkgo trees), is a popular walking area. The tree-lined street received Dai anaka-kai Yokohama-shi Machinami Keikan-shō (第7回横浜市まちなみ景観賞, the seventh Yokohama Best Regional Landscape Award) in 1997.
