Aw, he didn’t say hello. I hoped to hear about his crazy shenanigans. Did he buy any parts for his Toyota Century already? I guess I have to watch the podcast for that stuff.
I think we all know, if we've watched a decent amount of Japan content, that the expensive thing in Japan is not food but rent specifically the increased cost due to key money, needing up to 6 months rent when signing combined of course with how hard it is to rent as a foreigner. Lovely video as always of course.
Your skincare recommendations made miraculous different to my cystic prone skin. Honestly never looking back, thank you for introducing me to them a few years ago! Life changer!
I'd say comparing average income to cost of things, the prices are mostly the same. They seem cheap to us on the US dollar for sure but when I think about what the poor average Japanese salary is, the prices don't seem so cheap after all. Great for us tourists! I'll be there next week, can't wait! As always, thanks for the video. Love it!
In Canada now going to the movies for 2 people the tickets alone are 20$ each and if you want like a popcorn and a drink it's an additional 25$ per person, it's absolutely ridiculous xD
@@rowan5499 Apparently many theaters are crowded since Moana 2 opened. This is interesting because it's not like Barbie. Unfortunately the flip side of this is movies don't stay in theaters for long so that's contributing to people not going, plus how it's expensive.
Restaurants and eating out is so expensive in Denmark I can't even fathom doing it twice a day in daily life... We do it a few times a year, pretty much special occasions only
In Australia, you couldn't even buy a drink at a cinema for your ticket price. But the price of locally grown mushrooms what the hell. Missed you on RUclips. I'm happy to see another day in the life video ❤❤
I'm from the southern US and I was floored by how affordable the groceries were and the movie theater! Also that cow noise at the checkout would have had me completely incapacitated with laughter! Like I don't think I would have been able to get through it lol I was just thinking yesterday that I hoped you would post a vlog soon. IDK why but I could very happily just watch you make dinner and pet your cats. Thank you for all of your hard work!
Every year I see your skin care drop and I've not grabbed one. This year the cold is already messing with my skin. I think this is a sign lol. Also, the banger playing at the grocery store.
Ive always heard about the quality of basic things like food, water and hair/skincare products in Japan that overall improve health and body SO much! I suffer from eczema and cystic acne so I really liked how you touched upon stuff like that in the vlog! PS. Always love your vids! Hello from your old home Canada!
I remember going to Japan in 2008 and I was warned that Japan is expensive, so I was a bit concerned, but when I got there everything was cheaper than in Norway. Seems like things are still cheaper than in Norway. I reckon though, that housing is more expensive in Japan, in the big cities, than in Norway. Don't get me wrong, housing is expensive in Norway as well, but we do only have about 5.5 million people in about the same area as Japan, so we're less pressed in that regard. I often find myself wishing that I hadn't encountered health issues so that I could have continued studying Japanese back then, though I am making an attempt again now and would really like to visit Japan again in the future.
Thank you for another lovely video! Hope to see another before Christmas, but if not - Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you, Chris, and the kitties! :)
Canada is stupidly expensive and its just going to get worse. So yeah, those prices weren't cheap but not outrageous. It really depends on one's income in the end.
I live in Ireland and I am from Missouri. Moved here almost five years ago and was shocked about price compared to price by in Missouri. I love living in Ireland
It's sooo much cheaper where you are! I currently live in Texas where prices are skyrocketing... And its going to get worse once the orange brat takes over in January.... Kura sushi is way more expensive here!🤔😵
Literally think of you every time I'm at LIFE and get the awful pew-pew-pew video game sound registers instead of the cute animal sounds! 😂 Also that cheesecake Calpis is weirdly good. The flavor is spot on.
I've been drinking a very similar breakfast smoothie for over a decade now, but I add espresso & use frozen bananas (to offset the amount of ice / watering down flavor)
Yeah I find Japan especially food a lot cheaper than here in Australia (and particularly my home city Perth). Transport too - took a few taxis when in Fukuoka and was very reasonable. And ooo skincare box! I still use a lot of stuff from your first boxes my fav thing is the moisturizer cream always running out 😅
Thank you so much Sharla for the skin care deals. I love these products so much. We are similar and age have been using them for a whole year. I was just about to run out so perfect birthday timing. I am doing a tip to Japan in Dec, very much looking forward to it. Have a great Christmas and New Year. xx
Comparing it to Manhattan it’s surprising what was more or less expensive than the other. From that perspective, I’d say Tokyo is more affordable overall than I originally thought.
The low price of food and drinks, and especially the movie treats were very surprising! I'm in Canada, and a large popcorn, large drink, little bag of candy and a free digital movie rental thing applied to my points account is just over $20. I loved that supermarket where all the produced was really cheap. It would be much easier to eat healthy there. Enjoyed the video, and am considering ordering a Sakuraco box for my BFF whose birthday is in March and maybe it would be sakura themed by then...I should get one for me, too.
It was fun to compare, the prizes are quite similar in Spain. Looks like theatre popcorn and drinks are so expensive everywhere (I always sneak some candy XD)
I thought about you last week. I learned the yorkshire toast and jam tea was discontinued (it was my favorite too) when I went to restock the cupboard. They've replaced it with a caramel biscuit one that reminds me of biscoff. It's somehow more biscuity than the regular biscuit one.
Not gonna lie, I'd try the cheesecake flavored calpis, even though I'm milk/cheese-dairy free due to auto immune disorders. (although, Japan does do their milk differently than the states, so I've been curious to see if I can actually have milk over there without having a migraine)
It is amazing how, compared to where I’m at in Arizona, USA, the prices are so cheap. I plan to visit soon, and for sure will splurge lol where I live, a gallon of milk is $2.40, bread is $2-$3. Rent is $1700+ for a studio apt, gasoline $3.40 per gallon, a family of four would need a monthly income of $6k+ to be ok.
So good to see Morrow and Tuna! I'm shocked about the movie prices! Here in the states and in Alabama. You want to see a movie for two it's close to 50 bucks maybe a little more.
I'm always amazed at how affordable the food there is. Living in coastal California, that sushi and the pasta at the end would be two or three times as expensive. Looks like amazing pasta there.
The area at the beginning of the video reminds me of the stairs in the last scene of the movie "Your Name" lol I love how in your videos like this, you have so many parts that seem just dedicated to cats even if they're not there like buying food/things for them or buying things that are cat-themed. There's so many delicious looking-chocolates there! I've tasted a Black Thunder choco before but I don't know which one it was (an aunt sent it to us from Japan). All of the food you guys tried out this time look really good, too! The trees covered with lights there are so pretty. Christmas is getting closer, I guess.
I needed the skin care coupon i forgot everything when visiting my parents for Thanksgiving 😅. Im always so jealous of your grocery stores. To get good fruits and veggies here in the US you have to go to a grocery store that tends to be more expensive otherwise you risk flavorless issues. 😢 I try staying with seasonal cooking but even that doesn't always help.
Ahhh the hot drinks in the vendis were my thing! I was so sad the first year we lived there when I found out they weren't there all year haha! I would wait every year for them to come back (never soon enough!) Love these videos and missing Japan!
And yeah those prices are insanely cheap compared to what we have to deal with in Northern California. Eating out has become ridiculously expensive with inflation. A meal at In-n-Out costs easily $60 for burgers and fries for a family of 4. We were in a local bar, had 1 bangers and mash, 1 chicken pot pie, 2 hot teas, 1 shepherd's pie, 1 salmon salad - the bill with tip (because you cannot not tip here) came to US$175! It was basic bar food and not very good at that. So we hardly ever eat out, sad to say. A sushi meal would cost like $200 easily for what you ordered. So while people say we earn high wages here in Silicon Valley, we are actually not living it up - what with the high rent/mortgage and cost of living.
I thought the taxi was quite expensive but I remember it always being that way in Tokyo. And at first I thought the movie tickets weren't cheap either but then again I only go to the movies when there's a deal on tickets or at discount theatres. Cool vid, I'm going to look into buying your skincare set, too! Been waiting for you to partner with them again.
I’m so surprised by some of the prices! Food is more affordable than I thought. Here in the UK it’s got crazy expensive in the last 3 years. I’d love to see cost of average rent and bills etc compared to an average persons wage. This was a really interesting video 😊.
Love your daily life videos. Cannot wait to see the Roppongi illumination when we land in two weeks time 🎉 could you let me know which pet shop you went to? I always stock up on treats for my dogs back home, and this one looks huge compared to the ones I usually go to. And compared to Dubai Japan is always so cheap 🤣
Things are so expensive in America right now as well. I feel like certain things seemed cheaper but other things more expensive. Our vending machines are ridiculously expensive now. Plus ours only have water or soda. I’d love to have a vending machine that sold milk tea here lol.
Going back to the US (from the UK) in January was shocking. I went to Wal-Mart and spent $300 just buying odds and ends, it so crazy expensive. England used to be so much more expensive, but now it's the other way around.
Most of the prices were pretty surprising to me as they are pretty low. Where I'm at, a regular movie ticket is about $15, a big tub of popcorn is about $15, and a fountain drink is $7. Don't get me started on how expensive sushi has become in the last few years! The Japanese restaurant I went to yesterday has Japanese soft drinks for $5, and US soft drinks for $4. For sushi 2 pieces of Tuna is $10, 2 pieces of Salmon is $9. Most of the sushi is between $6 and $20. Simple rolls like a California roll start at $10 and go up to $20.
18:58 I was fully convinced the tree was going to fall at this point 😂 Tuna is a little rascal. It seems reasonably comparable to UK Manchester prices. We are having a cost of living crisis in UK though lol
@@sharlainjapan Okay so I finally got to the end of the video (work interruptions!). You asked for feedback on prices! I live in Vermont, USA which is a state directly south of Quebec. Up here, the cost of living is huge! I went to buy eggs in the supermarket yesterday and they were over $6 a dozen for just generic eggs! Bread is $4 a loaf (and my UK bf just about shits himself when he visits and we shop and he sees how small American bread loafs are!), milk is $4 a gallon, and if you go to a restaurant, at least near where I live, you're looking at $25-$50 a person, per meal. I live in a gorgeous area next to a famous ski town, so prices here are a bit more than median. I love where I live, even though we don't have public transportation, but owning my own car affords me the privilege to drive a few hours to get to many major cities. Montreal - 1.5 hours Boston - 4 hours I can take Amtrak (train) from Waterbury Vermont (home of Ben & Jerry's and Keurig coffee!) and be in NYC in 8 hours or Washington DC in 12 hours.

"Why, Pete, why" is exactly what I expect to hear at a dinner table with Pete Donaldson 😂
Aw, he didn’t say hello. I hoped to hear about his crazy shenanigans. Did he buy any parts for his Toyota Century already? I guess I have to watch the podcast for that stuff.
Feel like that statement is applicable to multiple Petes. 🤔 👍

So glad to hear that🥹🙏♥️
Got my teenagers on it too. Good stuff aye
My husband used to live in Tokyo! He said Christmas there is more couple centered, unlike the US where it's family. ❤ Need to spend Christmas there!
Yes that’s true!
Yup and I was shocked to hear they only celebrate on the 24th. Wake up on the 25th and any trace of Christmas is gone 😢
Cries in single lol lol
Maro got his favourite snacks. Tuna got his favourite snack too, the Christmas tree.
Missed these day in the life vlogs ❣ I found the prices in Japan to be similar to big cities in Spain sometimes even cheaper.
Interesting! I’ve never been to Spain but Chris keeps saying he wants to take me :D
@@sharlainjapanmay one day you get to take the trip to Spain with your loved ones ❤

I'll be there next week, can't wait! As always, thanks for the video. Love it!
You make 1800 usd avg in japan, but rent can be as cheap as 300usd, even in Tokyo (farther from the central area), still much better than the US.
It's not cheap for every tourist. Not everyone is American. As an Aussie our dollar is weak against the yen
In Canada now going to the movies for 2 people the tickets alone are 20$ each and if you want like a popcorn and a drink it's an additional 25$ per person, it's absolutely ridiculous xD
Thats how it is in the states as well. We basically never go now and the theaters are always empty.

Always excited when a new Sharla vlog comes out. So relaxing. Decided to get to Sakuraco box for my brother for Christmas! ❤

They’re a specialty mushroom, normal ones are pretty affordable!
Matsutake mushrooms are foraged, they're incredibly difficult to grow in a farming situation.
Your vlogs always make me excited for my visit next year! I’ll be turning 30 and wanted to celebrate!

Missed the day in the life 🥹🥹 - Good afternoon from the UK! ❤
It’s so much more affordable than Seattle. Grocery prices here are so expensive right now. Rents and home prices are way lower where you live.
It was way less expensive than Los Angeles. I love these days in my life vlogs.
LA was so expensive 😭😭😭
I've never been this early to a Sharla video. おはよう / こんばんは !
こんばんは〜🎵
Black Thunder is so, so good! Especially for the price. I think we ended up buying almost an entire box at 7-11...
Best Japanese choco snack for sure 💪🏼

Thank you so much! Happy Holidays to you too🎄✨
That shake looks REAL good, gonna try it sometime ❤
Let me know what you think😍
So affordable in comparison to the Netherlands. The candy alone would be three times the price here and the sushi lunch would be twice as much.
Not to mention the cat food!
Perfect vibes to start my day chilling and watching before work.
Just what I needed to motivate me in my stressful work day! I have missed Sharla!
I’ve been subscribed to you for YEARS!! Because I love Japan and find your vlogs so fun!
And now!! I’m coming to Japan for myself, beyond excited!!
I love your cozy vlogs!! Made my day to see you post. Got your wishtrend winter package and looking forward to trying the fig cleanser.
Those intro shots look absolutely glorious.
Ah thanks :D Got a new lens ✨✨
I love this type of videos, hope we can see them more often ❤
Canada is stupidly expensive and its just going to get worse. So yeah, those prices weren't cheap but not outrageous. It really depends on one's income in the end.
Japan's average income is 250k yen or about 1800 USD, it's not much, take taxes out and rent and you have like 900 for yourself
Doesn’t help that Canada has higher taxes but it’s offset by the free healthcare system.
I really enjoyed this vlog, I love watching you and living vicariously!!

Hope you like it! 🍫✨✨

been waiting for a new vid from u!! looking forward to watching this B)
Kaki are persimmons in the states. They're so good

Thanks so much for the field trip☀️☁️🌸
I live in Vancouver and it’s CRAZY how much more Id have to pay for the same things over here. Lots of stuff would be easily double in price ! 😢

I always stock up on treats for my dogs back home, and this one looks huge compared to the ones I usually go to. And compared to Dubai Japan is always so cheap 🤣
I would legit buy those Pokémon candies just for the pokeballs😍
Japan being the home of Pokemon would absolutely decimate my budget!
It’s amazingly strange how these sushi 🍣 restaurants conveyer belts “know” where to stop despite foods being digitally ordered ……
Things are so expensive in America right now as well. I feel like certain things seemed cheaper but other things more expensive. Our vending machines are ridiculously expensive now. Plus ours only have water or soda. I’d love to have a vending machine that sold milk tea here lol.
I don’t get how vending machines are still in business in the US. I don’t know anyone who uses them since they’re so expensive 😭
@ I’m saying! It’s crazy. They are ridiculous. I only use them on the rarest of occasions
Going back to the US (from the UK) in January was shocking. I went to Wal-Mart and spent $300 just buying odds and ends, it so crazy expensive. England used to be so much more expensive, but now it's the other way around.
Most of the prices were pretty surprising to me as they are pretty low.
Where I'm at, a regular movie ticket is about $15, a big tub of popcorn is about $15, and a fountain drink is $7.
Don't get me started on how expensive sushi has become in the last few years!
The Japanese restaurant I went to yesterday has Japanese soft drinks for $5, and US soft drinks for $4.
For sushi 2 pieces of Tuna is $10, 2 pieces of Salmon is $9. Most of the sushi is between $6 and $20.
Simple rolls like a California roll start at $10 and go up to $20.
I love peanut butter powder. Makes it /so much/ easier to clean the blender. 🎉
18:58 I was fully convinced the tree was going to fall at this point 😂 Tuna is a little rascal. It seems reasonably comparable to UK Manchester prices. We are having a cost of living crisis in UK though lol

@@sharlainjapan Okay so I finally got to the end of the video (work interruptions!). You asked for feedback on prices!
I live in Vermont, USA which is a state directly south of Quebec. Up here, the cost of living is huge! I went to buy eggs in the supermarket yesterday and they were over $6 a dozen for just generic eggs! Bread is $4 a loaf (and my UK bf just about shits himself when he visits and we shop and he sees how small American bread loafs are!), milk is $4 a gallon, and if you go to a restaurant, at least near where I live, you're looking at $25-$50 a person, per meal.
I live in a gorgeous area next to a famous ski town, so prices here are a bit more than median. I love where I live, even though we don't have public transportation, but owning my own car affords me the privilege to drive a few hours to get to many major cities.
Montreal - 1.5 hours
Boston - 4 hours
I can take Amtrak (train) from Waterbury Vermont (home of Ben & Jerry's and Keurig coffee!) and be in NYC in 8 hours or Washington DC in 12 hours.
good job in reaching out to more people, the spanish speaking population is vast. i should forward this to my cousins and see what they say.
Actually morning where im at. Good morning!
