Answer:

Depends on what you mean by "living" alone..

As a minor you would not be able to sign any contracts such as a lease agreement for your apartment. If you live in a school dormitory then I suppose that would be possible, but you would not be living alone. Plus your parents or guardian AND a Japanese guarantor would have to sign for whatever papers needed between the school and your parents..

You would need to have some means for the rent, utility and costs of school to be paid. You are not going to be able to just go into a bank and open an account.
