Main entrance

Because the city of Hamamatsu has one of the largest non-Japanese populations in the country, 60% of which is composed of expatriates of Brazilian descent.[1] there is a significant enrollment of students who do not speak Japanese as a primary language. Non-Japanese students are placed in special classes.[2]
