There are few scholarships in Japan. But public high schools are now tuition free. So it does not take much money . There are few boarding high schools in Japan. You can't join a high school without taking its entrance exams. You need to learn 2,000 kanji which kids are supposed to learn before high school.

You need to learn that you have a hard row to hoe. A quick search on Japanese boarding schools yielded squat in the top spots. Hopefully you tried this before asking but did a more thorough investigation of the links than I did. It's been pointed out by another user that doesn't think that there are that many. Good luck with someone giving you a link. They will be expensive if they exist. Do you have that kind of money just for high school? Lastly, and has been pointed out, regular high schools are an option. But living in an apartment is the least of your worries. It's learning to speak, read and write Japanese on a level suitable for passing the exam. Not to mention knowing what you need to know in order to pass the test. I, personally, think this is a pipe-dream. As such, POP!!! goes the pipe-dream.

It is very possible for you to be able to do this. First of all, yes, there are not very many boarding schools in Japan. Also, you wont find almost any dorms there because they just don't have many. Most students live at home with their parents (yes, even in college) and just commute. Students even travel as long as two hours to get to school sometimes! Back to your question, what I think you may be asking about/interested in is a High School Exchange program. Basically, apply through a program, pay your fees, then get shipped off to stay with a Japanese host family and live with them throughout the duration of your stay. At least, that's how most of the programs work. This is one of the more popular ways for students to study in Japan for a year or so. I actually know people who have done this, so its quite possible. However, the first step is getting accepted to a program. Good luck!

My wife attending this high school. They do have a dorm for living at the school. Sorry, but girls only. http://www.spr-sacred-heart.ed.jp/ However, if you can't read that homepage, then you're obviously not going to be attending there. It's going to be that way for any school in Japan. Unless you can speak native level Japanese, you need to give up your little pipe dream.
