Where these came from

These come from 3 different sources, led by the French Ministry of Education (5), koryu.or.jp (3) and isi.go.kr (2). A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, which is why Japanese turns up in 3 countries rather than only where Japanese is spoken.

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Where we have nothing

We list schools in 267 further cities with no Japanese teaching recorded, among them Seville (121), Málaga (102), Granada (77) and Berlin (47). That is a gap in what has been published, not proof that nobody there teaches in Japanese.
