Field notes
The homepage attributes its figures to the Ministry of Education and labels them as of May 1, 2026. It keeps room-based counts for classrooms separate from building-based counts for gymnasiums, and breaks out facilities at schools designated as evacuation shelters. The prefecture table includes uninstalled gymnasium counts and municipality totals; the page also exposes navigation for trends, school types, and municipality lookup.
