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]
