Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on Tuesday that this move was taken to support Japanese and other international students studying in the United States.
On Monday, the University of Tokyo announced that it was considering accepting international students from Harvard University if they were affected by US policy.
The Japanese Ministry of Education reported that the Student Services Organization plans to announce each university's position on providing support.
"We want to work with relevant institutions and do our utmost to ensure the education of ambitious and talented young people," Japanese Education Minister Toshiko Abe said at a press conference on Tuesday.
According to the Japanese Ministry of Education, there are currently 110 Japanese students and 150 researchers enrolled at Harvard University.
Last Thursday, US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem issued a decision to terminate the accreditation of Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program, effective for the 2025-2026 academic year, accusing Harvard of "inciting violence and anti-Semitism and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party."
But a US federal district court on Friday ordered a temporary stay of the decision "until additional information and documentation regarding this process is provided."
The decision came after Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its ban on accepting international students.
