Cost of Living in Tokyo

i want to ask about some place to be my home while im having a language school for 2 years

Myanmar has a depth-rooted habit of no returning debt.

However, Abe not learning the wisdom of history and instead foolishly racing to lend money to a dishonest country like Myanmar where there is a poor record of no returning debt.

Maybe Abe should not risk with the future of Japan where Japan might need the debt from Myanmar one day for an emergency use but with no debt returning whatsoever from Myanmar at that point of time with Abe already out of office, please explain now what Japan can do to recover the debt from Myanmar at that point of time. Is it the failure of later government at that point of time not being to able to recover debt from Myanmar or is it the fault of Abe not learning history, resulting of his foolishly lending money to Myanmar without thought of consequence ?

Instead of borrowing money to Myanmar from the pocket of government, Abe should lend his family wealth to Myanmar instead and then Abe would certainly hesitate to lend money to Myanmar where there is a clarity of no debt returning as equal as losing money forever.

Abe should treat the government fund just like his family wealth or else he is not worthy of the position of government head, seemingly with an intention of destroying the future and security of Japan by wasting the government fund in kind of passing debt attached with the Japan government fund to Myanmar where no expectation of returning debt to Japan from Myanmar in the future.

So Abe should stop lending money to Myanmar altogether and also recover all outstanding debt from Myanmar the soonest possible while in office or else later no one else would be able to recover the debt from Myanmar anymore which Abe lent to Myanmar while in office many years ago.

HOW much money will it take in american and in yens to live in Tokyo Japan. please i love the culture so much and the anime is amazing

150,000 JPY (before taxes) in Tokyo for one person is barely enough to survive on the stingiest lifestyle there is. Considering you don't eat out, hang out etc. Btw it is below basic salary for a university graduate (which is 180,000 JPY).
200,000 JPY (before taxes) is barely enough for one person to live on. But I'm afraid that if you need to provide for a family, you'll need at least twice as much. And again, 200,000 JPY is comparable to what a fresh graduate gets...

Hello everyone. I've been offered a job in Tokyo and my salary is 150,000 Yen. I do not plan to live a very luxurious lifestyle while i'm there. (especially since i have to save money for the ticket to go there, and come back home afterwards).

Is 150,000 yen enough for a month's worth of spending? again, not a fancy lifestyl. i'll be planning to walk everywhere, eat cheap etc.

As a Japanese, the facts are different prices. If you do not say luxury, you can live with 100,000 yen with rental if you are single. If you have a monthly population of 130,000, you can live in a slightly higher grade place or eat out every day. Basically I do not need a car, so it's pretty cheap.

However, it is very difficult to realize that I want to live in a large house with a garden and a car. Tokyo is recommended if you want to live with a minimum lifestyle or distance with others (saying in a good way). I think it is unusual for countries that do not have much prejudice against strangers (also saying this in a good way). My friend has a person whose profession is a Pokemon trainer (= Youtuber), but he is respected rather than prejudiced.

Also, if you have resistance to Japanese (difficult ..) try conversing with only words. In Japanese, the order of words is completely free, so if you just throw away the grammar and say only the word, the meaning usually goes through. Please come and visit us.

Thinking of cancelling my trip to Japan.
While the value of most currencies has been dropping, the value of Japan goes against the tide and gets strengthened unreasonably to the extent I just want to lose and sacrifice the money I paid for the flight ticket than the unreasonable loss I would need to pay now to purchase the Japan currency for my expense during my stay in Japan.
Hope Japan align to the reasonable level of currency of neigboring countries such as S.Korea and Taiwan by lowering the value of Japan currency immediately or else the tourist market of japan would be badly hurt very soon unlike never seen before which indeed is not what Japan would like to see happening endlessly in the future.

Soon I am going to join in the university of Tokyo. I will be getting a salary 36000 Yen per month. I want to stay nearer to the university and i will be staying alone. How much salary I will be getting after taxation. Will the amt is sufficient to live for a single person. I prefer not to cook.

Hi,

I am from Indian and recently I got an offer to work in Tokyo Japan for a software firm. They are offering me 3,20,000 yen per month + transportation fee + social insurance. I want to know if this is a good offering and should I opt for it? Also will I be able to save good from this?

kindly help me for I need to make a decision quickly.

Thanks & regards,

SK

@ANNA
Yes, it should be enough, considering that your husband's company is going to pay your rent :)
It depends however on how old your children are. If they're teenagers, you might need to keep an eye on how much they're spending. Clothes and electronics (including devices like phones) are quite expensive here.
Take care!

Wait so if you check the rate of the one room apartment for rent per month it goes to about 30000 canadian dollars??

That helps very much. Though now I'm going for 16 days, 3 weekends! So I was looking at around 150,000. I don't go till October so will see how things go till then.

Thanks

I just went to Tokyo for 10 days, and I took 120,000 yen with me. It lasted and I even had 12,000 leftover which I exchanged back home.

I ate out every day, tried to avoid the commercial touristy restaurants, if you go to the very local places, the food tastes better, is authentic and costs only about £5 per person for a really decent dinner. I bought clothes, shoes, we travelled a lot etc and didn't run out of money. Found it really reasonable.

I wanna move back home to Okinawa just my son and I do you think $10.000 us currency is enough until i fined a job

Hello, I will be moving to Tokyo soon, and I just compared U.S. dollars to Yen, it's not bad truth be told. So for a very good start, how much should I save up before I convert it into Yen.

Hello everyone.. please help me.. i m pilipina and my visa to work. . Is already on goin. Now i m really searching job in japan. Please help me to have work like factory and how much a salary every month

is it possible to live in Tokyo for one month with 1000 US budget , if possible find a part time job for the extra ?

I'm considering moving to Japan to start a new life. I don't have any special talents that would get me a great job I just want to live in a small apartment in Tokyo and live an average life. By the time I get there I should be relatively fluent in Japanese and I'm fluent in English and Spanish as well. I'm hoping this might get me at least a better than minimum wage job somewhere. Can anyone help me with current monthly expenses and job options? I just want to start a new life nothing fancy or luxurious

Hello ,
I have been offered a monthly salary of 350,000 ¥ a month (Software Engineer). I am single and planning to share my apartment with a colleague. I will probably use the monthly pass for transportation. How much can I save on this salary? I am planning to cook both lunch and dinner.

My family & I wanna move to Tokyo Japan but we need to find out how to bring our 8 month old dog before we come.

I want to go Tokyo. this is great opportunity, think so. but is this really opportunity for me to change my life?

Are there any jobs for Americans? If so which are highly recommended?

hy i got an offer as cook in restaurant as a salary of 180000 yen, is it sufficient to live and go through livelihood ????

I want to come with my family then what will be monthly expenses. Company offering 60million yen PA. Is it OK ?

I received an offer from a company in Okinawa with salary is 1700usd.
Can I live good and save money with this number?

270000yen from Yahoo? For what position? For a mid-career salary, and for a company like Yahoo, this is too low.
