01Tuition & Fees
Fees: Only 2022 Junior-High Tuition, for Reference
The only fee data found in currently available public information is 2022 entrant-year junior-high tuition (¥690,000/yr) and an education enrichment fee (¥78,000/yr). Reports suggest the school states fees are revised annually, meaning this is not the current (2026) figure. No information on IB-course-specific costs was found at all in currently available public information.
academic year: 2022
| Tuition (Junior High, annual, 2022 entrant figures) | ¥690,000This is a 2022-dated figure, not the current (2026) amount — the school's own materials note that fees are revised annually. |
| Education Enrichment Fee (Junior High, annual, 2022 entrant figures) | ¥78,000 |
| IB Course Fee | not publicly confirmed |

2.What year was the IB course authorised? Is there a track record of DP graduates?

Less Confirmed Than Sister School Ritsumeikan Uji
For Ritsumeikan Keisho, the school's own dedicated fee page wasn't retrieved in currently available public information, and the only figures found are dated 2022 (junior-high tuition ¥690,000/yr, education enrichment fee ¥78,000/yr). No IB-course-specific add-on costs were found at all.
Key Point
Even schools run by the same operator (Ritsumeikan) can end up with very different depths of confirmed information. This more likely reflects which primary documents happened to surface in this particular research session than any real difference in institutional transparency — closing that gap by accessing Ritsumeikan Keisho's own site directly, to the same depth as Ritsumeikan Uji, is a priority for a future pass.
