thanks!!
Most attractions have a student discount price, but it is almost always intended for kids in school uniform. You will see them everywhere.
I escorted some college student relatives to Japan a couple of years ago and they were paying the full adult price almost everywhere. It doesn't hurt to ask, but don't expect it to happen very often. I think I recall they got in on their university identifications at the Edo-Tokyo Museum, but that is about it.
