Tokyo University and Waseda would be the top two off the top of my head. I'm not sure what I'd call #3, maybe Keio University. Kyoto University is up there too.

Tokyo University which is a national university is definitely #1. #2 and #3 in national universities are Kyoto University (in Kyoto) and Hitotsubashi University (In Tokyo). #1 and #2 in private universities are Waseda University (in Tokyo) and Keio University (in Tokyo) as another told you.

Academic systems of Asia and the west are different. Japan also has its own system. There are no dual or triple degrees in Japanese univs. Just one degree for four years. There is no grade skipping and you can't shorten the school life abide by Japanese educational law. And the curriculums in Japan are rather comprehensive than professional. You better finish in the US first.
