According to their middle school English textbook, the previous bell sounded too much like an air-raid siren "so the teacher and his friend, a mechanic (sorry, the text does not give names or places) made a new machine and chose the chime of Big Ben." They say this happened "about sixty years ago."
Sadly I can't find any more English-language material on it than that.

The use of a clock chime for school bells in Japan is rooted in tradition and practicality. The chime serves as a signal to mark the start and end of class periods, and its melodic and soothing tone is believed to create a calm and harmonious atmosphere for students. Additionally, the chime's distinct sound helps differentiate it from other types of bells, such as those used in temples or train stations.
