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.
