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

Full of socially avoidant nerds without any charisma. Hong Kong is the same

In the first place, water is basically free in Japanese restaurants, so it should be displayed as 0 yen.

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!

In many ways better than the USA, and that's an understatement.

It's easy to bend one over cheaply or get it free since most Americans have big diks

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

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.

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

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'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.

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.

I'm paying almost 200k for rent near city centre. No way you can find an apartment for less than 100k that's within a reasonable age and distance in Tokyo!
