Compulsory education in Japan is "free". Therefore, elementary and junior high school are technically free. You still have to pay for lunches, equipment, etc. High school is not compulsory, therefore you always have to pay tuition. Same with university.
Also, preschool/kindergarten is not compulsory so is not offered for free.

If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
