Cost of Living in Tokyo

Currently Japan has 110 million people very few babies born over the last 20 years plus.Within 10 to 15 years Japan will no longer exist.Japan had the same one child policy as china but so much time has passed rejuvenation of the population in both countries spells extinction but in all fairness every country globally are facing the same thing.

Rent should really include the move in costs. Those are around 6x the cost of rent, so it’s mostly the illusion of a cheaper rent happening here…

I didnt realise but when i went to japan, i could easily make my rounds at the love hotels.

Hi, I recently wrote an article about it my blog chasingfatima.com Please check it out if you are interested. It is possible to rent a 2LDK unit for less than 120,000 yen. Our rent is below that and we live in Meguro-ku. It is about 10min away from the train station, close to 2 big local grocery stores, and a bonus that it is near a major highway.

The biggest expense is rent. If you want to rent an apartment of more than 20 square meters, it costs about 100,000 yen per month. With the salary level of most recent graduates in Japan, they can only rent an apartment of less than 20 square meters. If you live alone, I think it's very difficult to rent an apartment for less than 50,000 yen per month in downtown Tokyo. I once rented an apartment of less than 10 square meters with no Windows and Shared bathroom and kitchen with others, even though the rent was 40,000 yen per month.

The cost of food is relatively cheap. If you only cook for yourself, you spend about 30,000 or 40,000 yen per month.

I have been offered 15M annual salary and i have a family of 3. would this amount be enough to live in Tokyo?
