Are there Japanese Orphanages?

Question:

And also up to how old do children stay there if they weren't adopted? I'll be making a comic about a japanese boy who's an orphan and I'll need to gather as much information as I can. Thank you in advance.

Usually, until 15 when he graduates from junior high school or 18 when he graduates from a high school. It's difficult to go to a college from an orphanage.
