Tuition for Bridge Program
Tuition differs for students conditionally admitted to TUJ as participants of the undergraduate Bridge Program. Please see About the Bridge Program for details.
Enrollment Deposit
A non-refundable ¥20,000 Enrollment Deposit is required to secure a place at TUJ and access new student orientation. This deposit will be credited towards tuition for students who enroll in courses. This deposit will be forfeited if a student's admission is cancelled. Please see Admitted, Now What? for enrollment deposit deadlines.
Orientation Fee
The ¥36,600 Orientation Fee is to be paid as part of the Advance Payment (visa-needed students) or as part of the first tuition invoice (non-visa-needed students). The Orientation Fee is non-refundable and may be charged independently if all classes are later dropped.
Matriculation Fee for Degree-seeking Students
An applicant admitted to TUJ as a degree-seeking (matriculated) student must pay a non-refundable matriculation fee of ¥434,100. This is a one-time fee for all new matriculating students directly entering an undergraduate program. Once admitted as a matriculated student into the Temple University system, a student cannot change their status to non-degree-seeking (non-matriculated).
A non-degree-seeking student may take up to 30 credits at TUJ. Non-degree-seeking students may petition to become a matriculated degree-seeking student any time before reaching 30 credits. However, please note that the matriculation fee for TUJ students switching from non-matriculated to matriculated status is ¥496,800.
For additional details regarding matriculation fees, please see the Matriculation Policy and Procedure page.
Student Visa Application Fee
Prospective students applying for a Japanese student visa through TUJ must pay a non-refundable visa application fee of ¥20,900 as a part of the Advance Payment.
Housing Cost
Spring 2026 and Summer 2026 – Tokyo
For their first semester, visa-sponsored students must either stay in TUJ-arranged housing or make use of the homestay option provided by Nextage (Homestay in Japan). Housing waivers may be granted in limited circumstances.
For students starting in the spring semester, TUJ might be able to offer a summer stay option to interested students. The link to the Housing Form will become available after the Visa COE Application Form deadline.

From Fall 2026 and beyond - Tokyo
Starting from the fall 2026 semester, we are excited to provide students with multi-semester housing. TUJ is also offering a brand-new dorm option in nearby Yoga that is very convenient to campus.
Visa-sponsored students entering TUJ in the fall or spring semesters need to stay in TUJ dorms for 2 consecutive semesters unless an exception applies. (Students entering TUJ in the fall may extend their dorm stay through summer semester.) This approach enables students to focus on their studies and adapt to Japan before finding their own housing.
Visa sponsored students entering TUJ in the summer semester must stay in the dorms for one semester unless an exception applies. Students unfortunately will not have the option to extend based on availability limits, but may want to explore housing options at our Kyoto location.
Visa-sponsored students choosing the homestay option provided by Nextage (Homestay in Japan) are required to stay for one semester regardless of semester of entry. The link to Housing Form will become available after the Visa COE Application Form deadline
Housing waivers may be granted in limited circumstances.
The prices below include all charges (rent, utilities, internet, furnishings, security, etc.) and allow students to stay in the dorms between the first and second semesters without any additional fee. Students starting in the fall semester may extend their stay into the summer semester.
