Home Schooling Laws in Japan.
The home schooling law in Japan is uncertain. Some Japanese citizens are protesting for changes to the law.
There are many school refusers who receive no education at all, and foreigners are surely home educating.
Home schooling is definitely not illegal in Japan. And japanese people are not being prosecuted or going to jail because of their decision to home school. 
There is no law in Japan that concretely provides for home based learning, and no provision under law at present that expressly prohibits it.
For those families in Japan who follow home learning as an alternative to school, the Ministry of Education generally does not stand in their way.
At this stage, the ministry neither discourages nor encourages home schooling in Japan.
