Taipei Japanese School (TJS) is a Japanese international school located in Shilin District, Taipei. TJS was established in 1947 and mainly serves the children (up to junior high school) of Japanese expatriates in Taiwan.

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.^{[citation needed]} TJS moved to its current location in Tianmu in 1983.^{[1][page needed]}

With the departure of many Japanese expatriate families from Taiwan during the 1990s,^{[citation needed]} TJS saw its enrollment decline significantly between 1990 and 2010.^[2] However, enrollment began to bounce back by the 2010s.^{[citation needed]}
