Waseda Jitsugyo, Private school in Kokubunji, Japan.
Waseda Jitsugyo is a private school in Honchō, Kokubunji, offering education from elementary through high school on a single campus. The grounds hold separate buildings for each level, with classrooms, sports facilities, and administrative offices spread across the site.
The school opened its doors on March 7, 1901, and grew into one of the established educational institutions in the area. A formal link with Waseda University developed over time, offering students a pathway to higher education through a recommendation system.
The educational program incorporates Japanese academic traditions while preparing students through specialized English courses and international study opportunities.
School visits are limited to specific open days for prospective families, typically held in spring and autumn. The campus is otherwise not accessible to the public, as it functions as an active educational facility during weekdays.
Sadaharu Oh, one of Japan's most celebrated baseball players, attended this school before his career with the Yomiuri Giants. University faculty from Waseda regularly hold guest lectures here, giving students early exposure to academic life beyond high school.
