A quiet education shift is reshaping where Japanese students study abroad. With rising living costs and a weaker yen, many are moving away from Western destinations toward Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, and Taiwan. The aim is high-quality education at a fraction of Western prices.
In 2024, over 70,000 Japanese students studied abroad, bouncing back to about 90% of pre-pandemic levels. Yet the destinations have shifted. Asian nations now hold a larger and faster-growing share of the market than Western leaders since 2020, according to the Japan Association of Overseas Studies.
