A person’s hometown was defined in the narrow sense as the prefecture where his or her high school is located, whereas it was defined in the broad sense as the prefecture that a person recognizes the hometown. The number of high school students entering colleges in their hometowns defined in the narrow and the broad senses was calculated using the Report on Basic Research on School, published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. The results indicated that in all the prefectures, a person’s home prefecture in the broad sense was included in the top 12 prefectures where a students’ college was located. However, there were prefectures that were not included in the top 12 prefectures, although they were in the same area. The percentage of students entering college in the hometown (in the broad sense) was high in prefectures of the Kansai area, including Shiga, Hyogo, Kyoto, and Osaka, among others, and in prefectures of the Kanto area, such as Ibaraki, Tochigi, Saitama, and Chiba, among others. Colleges in Tokyo and Kyoto attracted not only students from the two prefectures but also students from other prefectures in the same area.
