About these figures

The list, national/public/private status and locations are the Ministry of Education's official school register. English names and founding years come from Wikidata; a founding year is often the date of a predecessor school. Student numbers are shown only where Wikidata records one, with its year — Japan publishes enrolment per university only in its 大学ポートレート database, whose terms don't permit reuse.

National universities charge a government-set tuition, but may set separate fees for international students — see what it costs.

Source: 文部科学省ホームページ — 学校コード一覧 (MEXT school code register, May 2026) and 令和7年度学校基本調査 (School Basic Survey 2025), reused under the MEXT website terms. English names, founding years, websites and enrolment figures from Wikidata (CC0), which is community-maintained.
