This is one of the hallways at my school, specifically, the corridor along which all the ni-nensei (second year) homerooms are located. There are eight homerooms per grade, and approximately 40 students in each class. On this particular day, the rooms were set up for entrance exam interviews. Unlike the U.S., in Japan, students are not bound to a high school by location-based zoning. Technically, you could live anywhere in the prefecture and, so long as you pass the exam, enter the school. I have some students who have to take a one and a half hour train/bus commute to school everyday.
Notice the chairs against the wall--these are for solitary students nervously awaiting their interviews.
