The visual novel format, animations, and cultural references all end up creating something that feels incredibly Japanese. There's even an anime-style opening to boot. It's recommended for those that wish to learn about Japanese culture, or practice reading Japanese, but it may not be a game that appeals to the masses.

Tokyo School Life is a romance visual novel, about a period of time in people's lives that tends to be very nostalgic (and therefore good source material for storytelling). It has moments where it resembles a standard fanservice-heavy visual novel, but it doesn't take long to realise that that's not what the developer was aiming for at all. Instead, Tokyo School Life is a sweet and charming story of warmth and good characterisation... and an earnest and genuine attempt to highlight everything that is great about Japan.

10 points because it has big sale on switch, I won't give high hope, but sure it will be fine story with japanese school culture

Tokyo School Life is a short but sweet experience of a visual novel. It teaches a lot about Japanese culture and has many ways of teaching the language depending on how you play! Outside of that, it is an amazingly voice-acted dating sim with an anime art style that will hold up for generations to come. The story while short was great (I was able to finish every ending in a total of 8 hours) and for the low price of 15$, it's totally worth it for anyone who loves visual novels, anime, or even just Japan itself.
