The following is a list of current and historical women's universities and colleges in Japan. A women's college is an institution of higher education where enrollment is all-female. Most of these are private universities; a few are funded by the prefectural governments; the only two funded by the national government are Nara and Ochanomizu.
Where institutions have become coeducational, this is noted, along with the year the enrollment policy was changed. Current (as of 2007) women's colleges are listed in bold text. Colleges that are closing or transitioning to coeducation are listed in italics.
