What are the tuition fees for grad school in Japan


What are the tuition fees for grad school in Japan?
I was unable to find the fees on their website, I sent an email but they dodged the question. I think it might not be in their culture to reveal such information, but I don't want to apply somewhere without knowing how much it'll cost me first.

It depends on whether you go to a national university (cheaper) or a private university (more expensive). national university's can cost around 260,000 yen a semester, so 520,000 a year.... obviously private unis will be more. they do however offer amazing scholarships to international students. it's a government scholarship offered by the Mombusho (or the Ministry of Education). They give you approx 170,000 yen a MONTH. so you can easily live off it AND attend uni. You might want to go to the website of your local japanese embassy. they'll have links to this scholarship. good luck!
