No, students in Japan do not go to school every day.
While public schools in Japan typically have classes five days a week, from Monday to Friday, some schools also hold classes on Saturday. So, depending on the school, students may attend five or six days a week. The school week is structured with multiple class periods each day, usually six, and these periods generally last around 50 minutes in junior high and high schools. Therefore, while not every day, school is a significant part of a student's life in Japan.
