How Much do you need to Live in Japan ?

Today I interviewed about cost of living in Japan.
It’s one of the most important things to live.
And I think Tokyo isn’t much expensive compared to other big cities like New York or Los Angeles.
And compared to other cities in Japan, Tokyo isn’t too expensive.
The rent is only thing that is different.
So if you come to Japan as a foreigner looking for a job, I’d recommend coming to Tokyo.
Because it’s much easier to live and you can easily find friends from abroad.

While I'm sure the apartments are fairly small in some other cities as well, it's important to note that the apartments in tokyo tend to be 15-25 square meters (160~270 square feet). So while you can get reasonable prices with tiny apartments, per square foot rent tends to be on the very expensive end. That said, once you go away from the inner city and consider older homes, space is much more affordable
@user-qm7jw
@user-qm7jw 2 года назад
It really depends on the region. Tokyo is definitely expensive, but other cities in Japan are not so expensive. Even Osaka the 2nd biggest city in Japan is much cheaper than Tokyo. For example, when I lived in Osaka, the average rent in Osaka was $500 a month, and food cost about $250 for three meals a day. So, on average, Japan is not as expensive as the USA or Europe. I've lived in California, New York and Sydney in Australia, and the cost of living in those places was roughly three times more expensive than in Osaka.

Agree. When compared to other western countries. If you are outside of Tokyo, then life in Japan is very affordable. For example my cost of living in Osaka is nearly half of what it was in the UK. But my quality of life is about a 100 times better in Japan.
@haha-eg8fj
@haha-eg8fj 2 года назад
Damn, I should’ve moved to Osaka instead of living in Tokyo. I think Tokyo is only slightly cheaper than Sydney (after AUD depreciation) and San Francisco. It’s mainly because the rent in Tokyo is high. But I am a fruit person and I think the prices of fruits here are much higher than other countries.

Would you consider making a video where you ask foreigners how much they SAVE each month? I'm only saving $700 USD in Taiwan. Maybe I can do better in Japan (but not Tokyo.) Keep up the great work!

Its not too much expensive. You can easily find a job if you can speak Japnese ( N4 or N5 level) and English also helps you .Japnese Onsens are best nd you can have a good time there. Highly Recommendable Country.

It’s a tad expensive as theirs literally always somewhere to go or something to do but if you’re more of a homebody the cost of living isn’t that bad. When I was there Mardi Gras was crazy. Another one of my favorites was the red dress run. All the locals would dress up in red dresses and high heels and take to the streets in droves making the streets look like they’re running red with blood. It can def get crazy packed though in terms of people though as during Mardi Gras the streets would be so packed that just trying to cross the street would take you down two blocks just because the streets were literally a solid wall of people

Love these informative videos. Being able to make comparisons b/t countries when it comes to essential daily living is awesome and fascinating. I remember living in VA when I was younger and the cost of living was so high that people with corporate "good paying" jobs were living in tents in the forest. I expected something like that bc of how expensive Japan seems but it's far more manageable than I thought. In NC, a one bedroom apartment around 800+ sq. ft. can run you anywhere from $900-$1000+ but that's not even in the capital city. If you're talking capital, Raleigh, NC, however, the same would have you paying anywhere from $1500-$3000. In comparison, in Osaka, a comparable 80.12 m² (around 860 sq ft) will run you about ¥128,000 or $1100+.

I can feed my family of four, two teenagers for less than 20 bucks a day. supermarket shelves are packed. Fresh food everywhere. For example: ham, eggs and toast with juice for breakfast.

I live in San Diego, CA, and I believe its about the same cost of living or cheaper 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think eating out is a big expense, especially alcohol drinks. We don’t have a good transportation system yet, so you must drive 95-99% of the time. Gas is so expensive right now $6.00/gal, and then car payment, food, etc is not cheap/easy to live here on a teacher salary.

Another great video. I'm from Oahu Hawaii, Japan sounds amazingly cheap. Granted Hawaii is usually the most expensive everything in the US though. Examples: A cheap studio in Honolulu is about 1K a month but more realistically can run up to 1.5K- those are 250-400 square foot studios and the amenities vary depending on price. Honolulu also has the most expensive electricity of any major city in the US and the average electric bill is just over $400 a month. Groceries are also the most expensive of any State with the average spent a little more than 50% higher than the US average. Motely Fool had an article from 2022 with indexed spending and the top three States were: Hawaii (152.7) Alaska (129) New York (121.5) Hawaii also has the second highest overall tax burden. The paradise tax is for real lol. But I still consider myself lucky to live Hawaii.

the living costs in Tokyo are really similar to Berlin. But now the rent costs went up like SpaceX. Tokyo is a bit cheaper I think.

It’s cheaper than where I live now by a long shot so that is extremely appetizing for the wallet😌 I’m hoping to have a good remote job in my major where I won’t have to adapt to the working system. I don’t think I could ever be happy with the load of anxiety that would come along with a Japanese job

haha. Good vid. I love how vegetarians seem very disgusted Japan hasn't adjusted to their dietary preferences to their satisfaction, yet have lived there 8 years and can barely speak Japanese.

Interesting video, there is a lot of difference between "developed countries" and "developing countries", here (in Santiago, Chile) I spend at most 450 USD in total (rent, food, etc)

If you have a choice, avoid Kanto (Tokyo area) and you will save a lot. I own my place, but in this building, facing the ocean ( close enough to throw a rock in it), 64 sqm. places go for about ¥65,000. It is rare, I know, but there are other options around here and it is just much cheaper than Kanto, but still major metro.

unfortunately most companies operate in Tokyo or Osaka, it is kind of tricky but you are completely right.

It all depends where you live, how old the place is and how far it is from the station as well as how much you spend on your lifestyle and if you're along or supporting a family. I used to live in Los Angeles and the costs are similar to Tokyo. Apartments are smaller in Tokyo, but you can find a lot cheaper options (especially if you're outside of central Tokyo, whereas in Los Angeles rents only decrease a little moving outside of the central areas and commuting is much worse). Owning a car is more expensive in Tokyo, but you typically don't need to own one. You can find cheap food in Tokyo, but in general fresh food (fruit, veggies, meat) and foreign food is more expensive. When you're renting in Japan you have to put down a lot of money upfront and every two years when you renew your lease. In Los Angeles you only put down a deposit that you should get back if there's no damage. The other thing is that the pay in Tokyo is less than in Los Angeles. This is why it's about even for someone who is an office worker mid-career level. However, in Japan there is a lot more options to live cheaply and safely. It's a lot easier to live cheaply in Japan that I think any major city in the US. If you want to live with a little more amenities or conveniences then costs rise drastically. I don't know what it's like for the upper class though.

The owner of the channel always seems to conduct interviews only in Tokyo, but he should explain that prices in Tokyo and the rest of Japan are different, from land prices to food costs to average wages.
