List of universities in Japan

This list includes all public and private universities or colleges (Japanese大学, Daigaku ) in Japan. The universities are listed with their Japanese names in modified Hepburn romanization. The list is divided into public (Japanese公立, kōritsu ) and private (Japanese私立, Shiritsu ) universities. Within these groups, the universities according to prefectures and within these are arranged alphabetically. Universities with multiple campuses are only once under the prefecture of domicile (法人本部, Hojin hombu ) listed.
