In Japanese schools, school rules are not created based on laws and orders of Ministry of Education, but the contents of the rules are to be determined by principals of each school. School rules have a great influence on the everyday lives of high school students. Recently, the content of school rules has come to be seen as a problem. Rules on hairstyles and clothing remain particularly problematic. It is often pointed out that there may be many unnecessary provisions. A nationwide review of school rules is taking place. This paper analyzes the trend of “review of school rules” in Hokkaido prefecture. And this paper also analyzes the contents of the school rules. I will divide public high schools in Hokkaido into three categories: urban areas, intermediate areas, and depopulated areas, and analyze the regional characteristics of each. We learned that depopulated areas are not always “conservative” and that school rules in Hokkaido have many provisions regarding life outside the school. It must be said that the 2019 Hokkaido Board of Educationʼs “review” instructions were incomplete.
