Traditionally, TJS students have returned to Japan to commence their high school education, while a minority choose to attend Taipei American School, which is located across the street. Among the TJS students who chose the latter option was Taiwanese-Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro. TJS moved to its current location in Tianmu in 1983.[1]
With the departure of many Japanese expatriate families from Taiwan during the 1990s, TJS saw its enrollment decline significantly. However, enrollment began to bounce back by the 2010s. [2]
