I think average wage is somewhat around or up to 1.8-2K in western major currencies
And average expenditures are somewhat 1.4-1.5K for single person (it depends on needs)
Great vlog, Your explanations are quite understandable 😊
Thanks very much! I tried my best! :D
Please do make a video about the nature of the job and how many hours does an ALT usually spend every day or maybe every week.
Hello sensei! Planning to apply as an ALT. Please do more video about application process and the payment for the whole application. Thank you!
Hello Thea! Since you are from the Phils, pls visit the JET Program Philippines. Di kasi ako nag apply from Pinas so I am not sure about the steps and fees? But JET Programme is FREE (except maybe if you need to go to Manila for interviews.. :)
@@mat6729 Ok sensei. Thank youuu!
@@mat6729 did you have to prepare 200,000 for expenses upon arrival in Japan? (for filipino ALTs)
@@cessnalynabella5532 Hello. I'm not a Filipino JET po but my friend (Fil JET) bought around 100,000 pesos po. 25k for rent, 30k for key money (money gift to your landlord, I did not need to pay for key money), 25k to survive for at least a month. She didn't have to buy apartment supplies because her pred left everything for her to use.
I, on the other hand, brought 150,000 because my apartment was empty. my apartment rent was cheaper and did not have to pay the key money but i had to buy everything. :(
Great! It looks fine to me. Im thinking about going on JET but I'm married. Do you know if they allow you to live with other person?
Yes they do! I personally know someone who is married and was able to bring her husband to Japan during her JET year. The husband, though, wasnt allowed to work (as far as I can remember) :) Good luck on your application
How is the Jet program, and the Japanese School System in general responding to COVID-19?
to be honest, I havent heard from the JET CIRs since December. We are still going to school every day even if there's zero work because we are paid. :/
We have a record sheet for our daily temp check at school. we also need to disclose our weekend whereabouts and that's pretty much it.
Hello Ma'am, good day! I would like to ask if the is still the same even if you are in the city or province? Thank you. I hope you notice my comment
Great for your experience sharing! Worth watching!
many many thanks and happy new year! :)
Which area do you live? The north,south,west or east ?
At age of 16 super hard to live that without money 😭😞
Thank you for this video! One question, how about the residence tax?
Superb video . I have requested for your acceptance in Instagram,kindly check it.
Very interesting video. I like it. I would like to see more information about apartments in Japan.
Thanks for this video! It's very informative. Can I just ask if you drink water from the tap? Is it safe to drink from the tap? Do you buy drinking water by the gallon? I'm sorry for being makulit I'm just really curious and I haven't seen any vlogger talk about it. Hope you'll find time to answer my questions. Thanks!
I at first bought bottled water because I was unsure if tap was safe to drink. After having met local friends and learned that they drink from tap, I 've switched to tap right away. I however needed to buy the water faucet filter. :)
Great Vlog, very informative. Subbed!
I just check 1 Australian Dollar is 82.930 Yen. So every month 214,000 x 12 month/ year 2.568Million Yen divide by 82.930 is around 31, 000 AUD Dollars a year.
Is there also like a 13th month pay or any bonuses in December?😅
Yes, for Japanese. No for foreigners haha
Thank you sis for sharing your personal data. Excited for more vlogs.
Thank you po!! :)
Awesome video....can you please make more videos on information JET and ALT😀
Hi! So happy to see your vlog. Im planning to work there next year (if i get hired). Still waiting for my application results. Are you a Canadian citizen or PR?
Canadian already :)
Hope you get the job! Japan is such a beautiful country :)
Really helpful vedio! Did you need to pay a lot for any furniture ,fridge or washing machine stuffs or something first month ?Or everything had arranged ?
my apartment was almost empty when I arrived. the Board of Education provided me with some major appliances. :) Pls watch my apartment tour video :)
Is learning the Japanese language mandatory?
nope, not mandatory :)
Great Vlog, Atheena... New sub here ❤

Thanks for the information! I'm just wondering how's the public transportation there!?! I mean how much would it cost if ever?!!
Hi...I been watching your vlog quite sometimes..may I know how to be an ALT in Japan..I am graduate of education here in the Philippines....that k u for ur help ❤️
I am going to come Nagoya University for master. What do you think If Nagoya University is good or bad Also
is it easy to get admission to it?
This is very helpful. Thank you. 😊
Hi! thankyou so much this is really informative, pleeeease make more videos on topics surrounding this
Hi thank you for the video. Please if you can make a video on public health/social expensive and an average cost on local government tax for a 72 year old pensioner.
Great. Thank you for sharing😊🇯🇵🌸
konnichiha senpai new friend here ..
Is it really a must to know how to drive?
Depends on where you will be assigned to work.
Some BOEs will require you to drive even if you dont want to and will not allow you to drive even if you wish to.
@@mat6729 thanks for replying. Stay safe 🙂
which city are you placed to teach ?
Gunma Prefecture :)
Next year you will have to pay city tax that torture everybody who lives in Japan.
Please make a salery video of trades worker, like , plumber, welder, cook, floor tiler, automotive mechanic....etc
Wow. That's only entry-level pay outside of any major US city.
Yeah lmao i make quite a bit more working my crappy little retail job in Canada but im still applying to jet
Thankyou for making this great vid! It gives us an insight, btw with all tne cost of living and expenses and considering your monthly salary as an ALT. Do you think you can still send money back home every month despite of the expenses? Thanks so much!
Hello! Thanks you the kind words :) I think 90% of JETs either send their savings home to help their family or to pay for their student loan or other stuff. With the amount of money you make, it is very possible to save :)
Nice cantry Japan 💞🌷💞
Do you get to choose which place / prefecture to teach in?
unfortunately,no. you can select up to three prefectures of you choice but there's 0 guarantee :(
Does the JET pay for my utilities on the first day of coming to Japan?
So will pay for your utilities after a month I think? You will pay for it after you get your first paycheck :)
Okay thanks
Hi... You are cute! Thanks for the info. I am Filipino under another ALT dispatch company. I would like to ask if I can apply here in Japan to JET Program? Thank you. This will really be a big help...
Hello! :)
I am almost sure that the answer is NO..
When I went on a vacay in the Phils, I thought of applying from there since I stayed there for 3 mos. When I emailed JET, they told me I need to apply from the country of my citizenship (which is Cnada) so I had to wait until I'm back in Cad. :(
Very open video! Love it!
Hello po I just want to ask if you have any teaching experience here in Philippines and how many year did you teach here before going in Japan. Do 1 year teaching here in Philippines is enough?
Hello, I am not a teacher by profession. so far all the FilJETs I've met are all teachers.
Thank you so much po for answering ❤️❤️Hope to be a teacher in Japan like you soon❤️❤️😃😀
Canadian confirmed: refers to electricity bill as "Hydro" :)
It's interesting that you have to pay into EI considering that if you were to lose your job as an ALT, you would probably just be shipped home immediately. I'm assuming you get that back as a refund at the end?
I will get the pension back after 6mos :)
Hey there thank you for sharing this video!!my question is how much is the salary for teachers in university because I want to be professor in university after my PhD student.actually I am PhD student at Saitama
Hello,
thank you for the comment! unfortunately, I have no knowledge about the wage for university teachers but for sure it will be much much higher than what we are making. :)
May I ask, do they reimburse the transportation fee (car rental and gas) back to you?
hello,
you'd have to pay for your everyday transportation (car or car rental and gas)
What they pay for is your flight to and from Japan, transpo for conferences/meetings. :)
@@mat6729 You responded so quickly that I was surprised🥰🥰🥰👍👏👏👏.
How many times in a year does the BOE support the cost of airfare home for you? Luckily, your monthly car rental in Japan is very cheap😊.
Can JET teacher work part-time in another private English class to increase your own income?
Sorry for bothering you with so many questions🙇♀️.
Come to America.
how to apply
Hi tita!
Do you also get paid a bonus per year?
Question regarding the certification of graduation, is it the diploma?
Yes :)
Have u missed the resident tax?
No. I only stayed in Japan for a year so I wasnt required to pay for the residence tax then. :)
@@mat6729 aaah I missed that point , but this is incredible savings I would say!
One more doubt, do they pay two time bonuses, for ALT /JET jobs
No more student loan debts, is that because you paid it off or because you’re working overseas?
Thank you for the informative and great video!
No... But your JET Programme salary can help pay your student loans for sure :)
@@mat6729 Thank you for the response! You were hired by the BOE directly? Is there a contact information to the BOE?
Most informative video I have come across with regards to cost of living in Japan so far. Keep up with the good work. Good luck with your next journey. Thanks
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Yusuf Noel instablaster :)
@Isaiah Dante Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Isaiah Dante It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Yusuf Noel you are welcome xD
Hello. Aren't Filipino's tax exempt for the first two years? Asked by an aspiring JET.
Yes! fortunately for Filipino JETS. As for me, I'm a Canadian JET. (born and raised in Mindanao though :D )
@@mat6729 Wow! I see. I lived there a couple years. Gensan. Nice place. Hope you are having fun being a JET :)
I love her accent
Tnx for the infom
Tagalog lng te para madaling maintindihan
Di man gud lahat makaintindi ng tagalog te uy.
this video is informative
Kailangan po ba na marunong mag Japanese to be able to teach sa Japan?
No po pero super helpful if marunong kayo mag japanese or atleast nakaka intindi. :)
Hi Good day Ms! Just wanted to ask which prefecture and region are you assigned in?
Hello! I was in Annaka, Gunma Prefecture for a full year :) very countryside but close to Tokyo!
@@mat6729 Thank you so much! :)
For graduate teachers (private schools) what is the average salary ?
Please reply 🙏
Hello! As much as I would like to answer it, I have no knowledge about your question. :( maybe between 150,000 to 280,000 yen per month.
😊thanku!!
I had seen in many vdo tht the sal is 336000/-yen for first year ,but you mentioned it 280000/- is it reduced this year?
No, I just divided the 3,336,000 by 12 mos so I get 280,000 per month. :)
What's the requirement for teaching in Japan?
If you are a Canadian, then all the requirements are in here

@@mat6729 thanx and keep grow your RUclips channel
Hi! Do you think JET would hire Filipinos living in Japan? I saw someone recommended to apply for JET while still in the Ph.
Hello. I think JET will not allow it. I was told that you can only apply for the JET in your country of citizenship. So Filipinos should apply in the Phils.
I thought of that too when I was on vacation in the Phils. :(
@@mat6729 Thank you for the information ma'am I'm an upcoming college student that aspires to be like all the ALTs residing in Japan. I'm hoping to be approved by the JET Programme once I obtain my degree. Godbless!
@@retr6vailles Good luck and God bless!! JET is such an amazing experience. I know you will have a lot of fun :)
Hi following this.. I left a comment earlier about this. It is likely I need to go home and start from scratch to apply in the JET Program?
I wonder... If you need to find the apartment by yourself? 🤔
with JET programme, they'll arrange the apartment for you except if you are assigned in Tokyo, then you'd have to look for your apartment. :)
@@mat6729 oh I got it. Thank you 😊❤
Gracias por el vídeo :) Saludos desde Londres
❤️❤️❤️
Does the JET pay for my utilities on the first day of coming to Japan?
No, you will receive your first utility bill after 2-3 weeks. What you're going to pay for when you arrive is your car rental fee (that is if you're going to rent one), your first month's apartment rent, key money and... I think that's about it :)
@@mat6729 hello! Can you get a non-professional driver’s license when you arrive there?
Hi ma'am! do you have info on how much pocket money you need to prepare for the JET programme?
Hello, I brought around 4,000 cad or around 150,000 php. I dont think I spent everything during thr first month but I highly encourage you to bring around 150k just in case you need to pay for KEY MONEY, advance apartment rental fee and food to get by during your first month. :)
@@mat6729 150k US dollars? That’s a really large amount, did you mean 5,000 usd? That’s usually around what I’ve been told to bring, but I haven’t left for Japan yet, so I’m still trying to figure it out!
@@Revl753 Hello,
sorry for the confusion but I said around $4,000 Canadian dollars or P150,000 Philippine peso. Both will end up the same if you convert it, more or less.
:)
no wonder japans economy is broke. those prices are so low. even for a countryside. 18€ for electricity is super expensive. mhm ok.... - laughing in super expensive electricity here in germany -
I think all the salary was only foe paying bills.. sad.life.
At last! After searching for days and night, spending hour and hours.
I found a video that actually answered my all questions about living cost in Japan.
Thanks a lot, for the video.
Will meet you someday there in Japan.
Anyway, going to follow you on IG.
See ya!
I appreciate the kind words! :) thanks very much!
I dont live in Japan anymore unfortunately. I only stayed for a year. but I will surely go back once this pandemic is over.
Take care! :)
Truly informative
Thank you
@@mat6729 may I ask how much roughly did you spend pre-departure e.g. processing and application/requirement fees
@@vimniel2596 Application is FREE. I only paid for postal services for mailing my application in, health certficate and criminal record check, my passport. Also for the id photos.. I forgot how much it totalled but maybe give it $150-200? :)
@@mat6729thanks, but how about the poea, owwa certs fees?
And in the proof of identity requirement where we are to submit birth cert/passport, does it mean submitting my passport? Or just a copy of the first page with the info on it? Cause it says as well that what I have submitted won't be returned to me.
Thank you for patiently answering my questions
@@vimniel2596 Very sorry but I am a Canadian JET (born and raised po in the Phils but migrated in CAD) so I dont know how to answer your questions. Pls refer to Gayle, she's also a JET from the Phils.
Next vid: tiktok videos compilation naman po 🤣
I'm not trying to be an ass, I really want to know. It sounds like maybe you aren't a fluent/native speaker. Is this true? I thought they didn't hire non-native speakers.
edit: I was talking about English
JET Programme hires people from 57 countries. JET stands for Japan EXCHANGE and Teaching (programme). never about being a native speaker. In my province, 54 people applied, 3 got in including me and I am not a native speaker. :D
@@mat6729Like I said, I'm not feigning incompetence to insult you, I thought the website itself said JET was only interested in native speakers,
@@mat6729 Wait, I was talking about English. Oops. Should've specified that. Sorry. Now I understand why you capitalized EXCHANGE.
can i ask maam na ilang year napo kyo jan maam
HELLO :) only stayed in Jpan for 1 yr :)
@@mat6729 so 280k yen is a starting salary?
@@irishnoynay2345 yes po the monthly salary for your first yr on the program :)
