The Tamagawa campus covers about 610,000 square meters (approximately 61 hectares) and houses Tamagawa Academy (K-12) and Tamagawa University on a single site. The K-12 complex is arranged across four adjacent campuses: the Kindergarten campus; the K-12 Keizuka campus for Grades 1–5; the K-12 Higashiyama campus for Grades 6–8; and the K-12 Chuo campus for Grades 9–12. Facilities include the SciTech Center with science laboratories and a digital planetarium, and the Starleck Dome, a 360-degree planetarium for astronomy learning. The Art Center connects the SciTech Center to the Higashiyama campus and offers wood and metal workshops, textiles, dyeing and weaving, and ceramics, with a built-in gallery space. Other core facilities include the Memorial Ground (artificial turf with night lighting), a Memorial Gymnasium with a dojo, judo hall, and multiple basketball courts, and a 50-meter indoor heated pool used by students from kindergarten through university. The campus also houses the Chapel, the University Concert Hall for performances, and the Tamagawa Library for on-site and digital resources for the school community.
Memorial Ground is a full artificial turf field with night lighting for games and events. The Memorial Gymnasium includes a dojo and a judo hall on the first floor, a three-court basketball facility on the second floor, and a gymnastics space on the third floor. The complex supports both PE classes and extracurricular activities with ample indoor space for team sports. In addition, the campus features a 50-meter indoor heated pool approved by the national swimming federation and used across grade levels for lessons and clubs.
The SciTech Center is a dedicated science education facility with floors organized by chemistry, biology, and physics, plus wall murals, ceiling artwork, and exhibits designed to stimulate inquiry; it also houses a state-of-the-art digital planetarium. Adjacent to the SciTech Center is the Starleck Dome, a digital planetarium that can project the night sky and self-produced visuals in a 360-degree dome for astronomy classes and independent projects. The Art Center, linking the SciTech Center with the Higashiyama campus, provides advanced facilities for woodworking, metalworking, textiles and weaving, and ceramics, with a color-coded floor system and an in-building gallery. The Tamagawa Library, part of the campus information resources, offers library services and digital pamphlets to support student learning and admissions information.
The Chapel adjacent to the Kindergarten building serves as a space for worship, lectures, and musical or theatrical performances, aided by a pipe organ. The University Concert Hall offers a formal venue for student recitals and public performances. The campus also hosts the Tamagawa Adventure Program (TAP) ropes course, which provides experiential activities to develop teamwork and communication. The on-campus spaces support a range of arts, music, and performance-related activities across the K-12 to university levels.
