i am not sure, but it is going to be exorbitant, well over $10k i assume

I think you need $20,000 to $30,000 to live in Japan for one year. And you need to live in Japan for 3 years to finish a high school.

It will cost you about 30,000 a year. The cost of living in Japan is much much higher than in the US. You would be able to have only minimal comfort for this amount. Apartments are extremely small and costly. If you are expecting to live over there, the same way you do here, its not going to happen without alot more money.

As the other said, it would be around 30K just for "basic living", but this number may vary 20 to 40 depending on where you live and what kind of school you what to go for. I would actual recommend a school that isn't too famous or great for their academics, because the better the school, the more your going to have to study(also, the other students will also be spending a deal of time in the books with almost no time to hang out, unless you consider study groups). (but do consider it is wisely before making any decisions)

Since you dont speak Japanese (I assume) and you have no residency in Japan, you most probably would go to an international school. Which are expensive, as they are targeted for the kids of expats... Mind that schools may not be compatible with your school in America, so you may have to do some extra legwork to have your year finished.
