Public high school in Japan uses free textbooks given by the government and uniform would cost around 20,000 yen for girls and a little bit less for boys. Private high school uses some textbooks given by the government but sometimes has special books that the school privately makes/ purchases so it could cost something like up to 10,000yen maximum. The school uniform is more expensive since they often hire a designer to make it. For girls, it would be 30,000 - 40,000 including shoes, bags and sometimes even socks. For boys it would be similar but maybe a little bit cheaper. They also have "funds" that students donate some money for. They say it is not mandatory but most of them do.
