"How Much Money Do You Need to Live in Japan? - Essential Living Costs Revealed!"

Tokyo is like half the cost of living in the biggest city in my part of the US but with better infrastructure, more to do, and less drug addicts.

My Japanese has improved a lot just by listening to your videos over and over again. The Japanese Subtitle also helps if there's a word I don't understand. Thank you.

I love the way you approach your videos, and to be honest, it's excellent to think in people like me, who's learning Japanese. Keep going !

外国人日本語すごい上手ですね！素晴らしい😀

~Lived in Sendai for almost 6 years. During student life when I lived in hostel and was dirt poor, i manage to go by Yen 40,000 a month by strictly cooking and travelling around by bicycle. Sendai is cheap and a person can go by living with Yen 100,000 a month including rental.

When I did a working holiday in Asakusa in 2012 I was in a really convenient area (right behind the temple, 5 minutes walk from work, 10 minutes walk from the subway) and I lived in a female-only dormitory sharehouse for around 400 00Y/mo. There were some cheaper dormitories available but they were a bit shadier and this one was a little more expensive because the location was extremely good, there was no long-term contract fee, it was furnished, and the company was English friendly (though about 2/3rds of the tenants were Japanese part-timers). I worked part time and only made about 800 00Y to 1050 00Y per month but when I came home after a whole year I was only CAD $2Kin debt, which isn't bad at all. Albeit I didn't travel a lot, but I didn't do nothing - I took the Shinkansen a few times but I also had my roommates teach me how to book highway busses because they are more affordable. Around the same time, my friend in Kyoto had a studio apartment for 500 00Y/mo (15~20 minute walk from a non-downtown station, but still in the main city). I went back this year and some things weren't significantly more expensive. Apparently there's not been nearly as much inflation as there has been in Canada, I miss it a lot :(

It's baffling that even a plant needs money to live in Japan

Japan is pretty cheap. Some of the larger expenses are probably not experienced by young foreigners in Japan though... like education, car, house, insurance, etc.. Looks like you were in Otaru. Nice little town, a little sad that the once booming fish industry is now gone

11:30 この方はポジティブで面白い😂

It's surprisingly affordable. I live in one the poorest countries in EU - Romania, and even without rent I spend about 1000-1200 euro per month. In Spain, France it would be 2000-3000 euros(including rent). And the food is not cheap at all. Mid bill at the restaurant is 20-50 euro.

in my country 700-1000 usd per month is considered middle class and can live comfy.

Tokyo is cheap compared to some areas in the United States. Our family's net income is around $10,000.00 a month yet we are still struggling.

Regardless of the amount I feel like the cost of housing in Japan takes up a quarter of income. In the US the trend has gone up significantly post Covid.

I'm really surprised how inexpensive Tokyo rentals are. In Ontario Canada our rents are $2200 1bdrm. and $2500 and up for a 2bdrm. Food is also very costly, for just 2 people I pay $1400.00 a month.

I'd be interested to hear about average salaries too, because that all sounds extremely cheap compared to Europe!
