No, it is not as true of Tokyo University as it is at other schools. Tokyo U. is the most prestigious university in the country. When you say "masters in Tokyo" do you mean Tokyo University?
A master's degree from Tokyo U. is a red carpet in Japan, but it isn't the same as getting it at MIT in the US, I would think, just because not as many people have the name recognition. Why not get your master's in the US if that is where you will be living?
