01Tuition & Fees
Fees: The Standard Public High School Rate
The Chiba Prefectural Board of Education's own site states the standard rate for full-time prefectural high schools: a ¥5,650 entrance fee and ¥118,800/yr tuition (¥9,900/month), totalling ¥124,450 for the first year. Many families qualify for the national tuition support programme, which reduces or eliminates this out-of-pocket cost. Any International Studies-track extra costs (English materials etc. ) weren't confirmed in currently available public information.

How the Research Traced This Down
The "Makuhari" name pointed first to Chiba Prefectural Makuhari Sogo High School — but that school has only General and Nursing divisions, no international track at all. Searching instead for a school matching the legacy description ("public high school + international department") turned up Chiba Prefectural Narita International High School: a credit-based, two-semester public school with both General Studies and International Studies tracks, matching the description almost exactly. It's located in Narita-shi, not Makuhari (Mihama-ku, Chiba City).
Key Point
This kind of error likely isn't a simple typo — it looks like information from several similarly-named schools got blended together somewhere upstream. "[Place name] + International" is a common school-naming pattern across Japan, so this kind of mix-up isn't rare.
What Makes This School Distinctive
"Makuhari Kokusai Koko" doesn't exist — the real school is Narita International, in Narita
The school's own site confirms the General/International track structure matches the legacy description.
Searching for a nonexistent school name means never finding the real one.
Who Might Find This School a Good Fit
Might suit — Families near Narita seeking English-intensive education within the International Studies track
Might not suit — Families assuming a Makuhari (Chiba City, Mihama-ku) location — the school is actually in Narita
