Cost of Living in Tokyo

As for Japanese high schooler, Japan, including Tokyo, are not bad overall.
No violent crimes or things stolen, no explicit assaults. I've been living in Japan for as same as my age, I've never encountered nor witnessed such crimes firsthand.
About price, it's rising because of stagflation but still cheaper than many Europe or American cities. Rent is skyrocketing in especially big cities like Tokyo or Osaka, but I dunno so much about it because I live in cheap suburb.
There seems to be many people who are saying "Japan is the best", but I don't think so.
The matters are politicians and its governance. They are so old and only listen to the old's voice to gather their votes. That makes young generation apathy about politics and lower turnout, eventually results in corruption like LDP's major kickback in 2024. I lost my faith in this country's government. Also, its currency is so weak and wage is relatively low despite the longest work hours.
But it's still a good country to visit(not to live permanently. It likely causes disillusion)

I looked at companies in the US like Hello Prenup ($599) vs the cost of prenup attorney in Japan ($1500).

i guess you comes from UK. surprisingly in now pop culture of monkey tribe are very popular among young caucasian girls.

Comes from Japan, but many are a bit cheaper (10-15 percent)
The original apt rate for the dollar is said to be 92 yen = $1.00 (the Big Mac Index is not reliable in Japan due to the high competition in restaurants).

A Norwegian acquaintance of mine says that the standard of living is higher in Japan compared to Norway.

Are rents this low or average wages this high? How can you possibly rent six apartments with your wage?

Just came back from Beijing, prices in Beijing are def. Higher than listed above

Crazy how salaries are higher in Japan than Sweden but rent and mortgage is half of Sweden. What a disgrace Sweden has become, I am ashamed!

NICKI MINAJ IS THE QUEEN OF RAP - stream Super Bass, its almost at 1 billion views

If you live as a student on a budget, you would have to spend from 80,000 yen to 10,000 yen per month with rent. Not that expensive

Its a great country with its fair share of ups and downs but compared to america its soooo much better

I've never been interested in visiting Japan or anywhere else in Asia including anywhere in Europe. I normally go where I'm treated best like where I'm from the U S.I've been contacted numerous times at the company I work for by numerous large companies in Asia for my IT tech expertise and I didn't contact any of them prirorly.People will be people no matter where they live worldwide but I've never been interested in the other side.

Not like you're going to Japan soon anyways, place is going to be closed all of 2021 due to covid
