John Smith on Feb 16, 2020:
I live in Otaru and this is the average I paid throughout the year.

Electricity - 3,389 JPY
Internet - 5,258 JPY (Never go with SoftBank)
Cooking Gas - 5,880 JPY
Heating (Kerosene) - 2,182 JPY (Yes, the number is correct due to you only need Kerosene in the Winter time). I usually leave it on until it hits 25C, then turn it off.
Water - 2,800 JPY
Mobile - 2,726 JPY
Car Gasoline 60L (13.5km/L) - 19,000 JPY
3 meals for 3 people - 80,000 JPY, but we do eat out on the weekends, so this might be lower if you cook by yourself.

Please note that this is depends on your life style as well. I don't have TV, but I do have computer and iPad, so I usually be on my Netflix and YouTube.
