1887, Hiroyuki Inoue founded a private philosophy museum dedicated to teaching philosophy, which became a private philosophy museum university due to the order of the complex school. 1906 changed its name to private Toyo University, and then it was transformed into a new university in 1949.

At the beginning of the establishment of 1887, most schools related to philosophy were dominated by religions such as Christianity and Buddhism, so it became the only non-religious school in Japan except national universities. After World War II, with philosophy as the main body, the school scale has been expanding, with 5 campuses, 14 departments and 46 disciplines, and universities have 14 research departments.

It is worth mentioning that Toyo University is the only Japanese university with Indian Philosophy Department and China Literature Philosophy Department. It is also responsible for the philosophy of life research in the Institute of Sustainable Science, and occupies a place in the field of Japanese philosophy research.
