Tokyo/Kyoto University would be the same as say... University of Washington. There are many of these students who go abroad to learn at say Oxford, MIT, Yale, Harvard and end up dropping because the classes are to advanced. They are the best for Japan and Japan only. Even then, my wife graduated from Gakushuin with her law degree with a 2 year study at Yale. She walks all over her fellow Tokyo Univ. lawyers.
