I just found something interesting over at dannychoo
Ill quote him on this one:
"...I thought we'd look at how much it costs to send children to school in Japan.

Kindergarten (3 years - public): 729,962 yen
Kindergarten (3 years - private): 1,611,457 yen

Elementary (6 years - public): 2,003,070 yen
Elementary (6 years - private): 8,240,327 yen

Junior High (3 years - public): 1,414,387 yen
Junior High (3 years - private): 3,800,593 yen

High School (3 years - public): 1,561,758 yen
High school (3 years - private): 3,131,439 yen

Total for all public (15 years): 5,709,177 yen
Total for all private (15 years): 16,783,816 yen

University is not compulsory but for those wishing to go would spend an average of 5,000,000 yen for the 4 years."

I guess this might also be a good reason not to have another child....
