It is better known by the abbreviation Tsukukoma (çÂÂé§Â). Tsukukoma is affiliated with the University of Tsukuba and offers a six-year secondary education program. Tsukukoma is the only national boys' school in Japan.
In 1947, Tsukukoma was established as a new junior high school affiliated with the former Tokyo Agricultural School. It was later renamed Komaba Junior and Senior High School, affiliated with Tokyo University of Education in 1952, and then, in 1978, it came under the purview of the University of Tsukuba, which replaced Tokyo University of Education that year. Although it is an affiliated school of the University of Tsukuba, very few students choose to study at the university after graduation.
It is located on the site of the former Komaba Agricultural School and maintains a tradition of rice cultivation training in paddy fields, known at the school as 'Kellner Paddy'. In its vicinity there are Komaba Toho Junior and Senior High School, Tokyo Metropolitan Komaba High School, Komaba Gakuen High School, and Nihon University Komaba Junior and Senior High School.
The school is located on a hill approximately 700 meters south of the Komaba Campus, University of Tokyo, which mainly accommodates first and second-year undergraduates.
