List of prime ministers of Japan and the educational institutions they attended
This is a list of prime ministers of Japan and the educational institutions they attended. As of April 2024, of the 64 prime ministers to date, 17 were educated at the University of Tokyo (called Tokyo Imperial University until 1945), seven at Waseda University, six at the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, five at the Imperial Japanese Army Academy, three at Keio University, two at Kyoto University and Meiji University, and one at 13 other institutions. 7 did not attend higher education.
Much of the prime ministers who were born and raised during the Edo period did not attend university as there was no formal system of higher education, instead education was predominantly conducted by local temples and shrine priests through private education such as the Yushima Seidō.[1][2] The Meiji restoration led to the modernization of Japan, including its education. As a result, aristocrats and nobilities first received higher education by travelling to western countries such as the Chōshū Five which Itō Hirobumi, the first prime minister of Japan, was a part of, attending University College London.[3]
