I'm also a student in Kyoto and our monthly spending seems very similar! I think mine shoots up a bit more though because I live alone, as you mentioned 😅
Oh hey fellow Kyoto student! The living alone cost is a thing… but sometimes it’s worth it😆 Hope you’re enjoying Kyoto life as well~ ^^
Do Japanese universities allow students to switch/change course?
Assuming one went for medicine and found out he/she couldn't cope could he go for chemistry or computer science...
Do you know where I can find a place to live that accepts pets, a small dog (a Shiba Inu) and that it's not too expensive? Also I have heard that people in Kyoto are not very friendly with foreigners living in Kyoto is that true?
I heard it’s hard to find apartments that are okay with pets… but it’s not impossible! Usually you can pay a bit more to be able to have a pet in your apartment. It’s the only thing keeping me from having a cat or dog right now, actually 😭 I’m not sure where to find pet friendly apartment bc I’ve never had to look for one, but maybe try GajinPot Apartments? As for people in Kyoto, personally everyone has been super kind to me. A lot of people who live here also aren’t actually from here, they’re usually from all over Japan!
Best of luck with the apartment search!
@@ChefinJapan thank you very much. I hope I can find a place. Another question, is GaijinPot reliable?
Is it easy to get part time job as an international student in Kyoto?
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s easy… but it is possible, I’ll make a video on this soon!
2200 yen is $340?
What?
Today that is literally $14.22. I realize this was two years ago, but in 1994 (30 years ago) that was $22 as the yen was 100 to $1. The worst it got in the past 30 years was 79 to a dollar, still only a little under $28.
At ten times that (the number on screen wasnt 2200, it was 22000), it is still only a bit over $140 USD.
I have no idea how you got that figure.
You're totally right! I made a mistake with that one. No idea how that happened, but the fee was 22,000 yen (about $140 USD). Thanks for catching that!
@@ChefinJapanyou rock for this - acknowledging mistakes = ❤
I can budget 10k yen a month for my foods here in Kyoto. I always buy food in a cheap supermarket like Gyomu Super. Hope to meet you someday. Ps. Your utilities are super expensive in my opinion.
10K a month is super impressive! I'll have to look for a Gyomu... thanks for the tip!^^
nice, but from there, with time it just may become cheaper, because you find cheaper places, learn more where and when to do what, and might have visited all the fancy/expensive stuff and might discover temples, activities, festivals and stuff maybe for free, and even just around the corner.
Assuming that you stay long enough.
Thanks for the great info! Really useful. 😇I’m considering living in Kyoto for a few months as a digital nomad. Would you say that AirBnBs is the way to go for a newbie? Or what makes more sense to find a home?
Thanks for watching! So awesome to hear you may be living in Kyoto fr a bit! It really is a great place for that. Airbnb is a good hassle-free choice here, other than that you can try share houses if you don't mind roommates!
these videos are crazy helpful
Kyoto living single person room cost in mid city and outside of kyoto
I'm not sure what the pay difference is between the US and Japan but living in Japan seems inexpensive. I know being a student is different, but if people make close to what they do in some jobs in the US, Japan seems very reasonable.
That's true! In my experience, I find the cost of living to be generally cheaper!~ ^^
we're coming there in two years be ready
Yay!
Right off the bat, ( y du we say that?) I like your attitude and your voice makes one want to listen. Cant place your accent though 😆💯☝🏽💚
my rent is 40k yen, that deosnt include my utility bill 😢
I lived in Sapporo (fifth biggest city in Japan, though there's quite the disparity after the top two or three), and these were my average expenses (that I remember) in case anyone is wondering:
For rent, my two-bedroom apartment in the (small) city center was around $500 USD, but utilities and phone easily got that up to another $300-400 USD or so every month. This would trend higher in the winter months because Sapporo is cold and has snow from November up until even April.
If you go to bars three times a week, you can expect to say goodbye to $1000 USD pretty quickly over the course of a month.
If you eat out, you'll be spending $10-15 USD per meal on average.
Taxis start at around five bucks once the meter is turned on. The metro starts at a couple of bucks if you even just go one station, and it can climb as high as around four dollars.
For context, most eikaiwa schools will pay a full-time wage of around $1600-1800 USD per month, which isn't much money. I instead opted for a series of part-time jobs once I was already in the country, which got my pay up to around $2200-2400 USD by the time I left.
Thanks so much for sharing these!! 🙏🏻 Now I’m living in Tokyo and it’s such a big difference! I’m also jealous you got to live in Sapporo 😆
Hi, I love your video. I am going to Kyoto next year for my university. I really want to know can you cover your all living expenses with the part-time job? I believe the students are only allowed to work 28 hrs a week so I'm a bit worried about that. Also, your room looks very good and clean. Which platform did you use to find a good place like that?
Hello! I don’t remember the exact site I used to find my house, but I think I just typed “Kyoto share house” in Japanese into google and this one came up! (京都シェアハウス). For me the part time job wasn’t enough, I also had to use savings. It’s a bit hard to work 28 hours while being a student but I know some people who did it and they were able to get by!
thank you for this video! im moving to kyoto for school in September and the biggest stressor has been money!
Ahh yeah, trying to figure out a budget in a new city can be daunting for sure. Congrats and best of luck on your move though! Kyoto really is an amazing city! ^ ^
Me too lol
You said year 2022 in your intro, but your image text says 2020. Oh, you changed your channel name. Don't forgot to change your image banner as well. Still shows Chef in Japan. What type of part-time job you are doing?
Ah yes 2020 was a typo 😅 and I have to change me banner too, thanks for catching that! ^^ As for part-time work, I'm teaching English online, but I'm hoping to find something at a cafe soon too!
I randomly came across your channel and I have to say you're doing a great job. I love your video style. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for saying that 😭 I’ll try my best!! ^^
How much money can you make if you work parttime in japan
Hmm it really varies depending on what job you do. Working part-time as an English teacher I'm able to pay rent and pay for daily living costs, but I'm not making enough to do extra things like travel etc.
How much does it cost singe room rent near kyoto stations I am your's big fan from Nepal
Hello! Thanks for the question. It reallllly depends on the type of room, but in general you’ll find places from around 50,000 yen per month. Actually, rooms closer to the station tend to be a bit cheaper because people don’t like to live close to the train noises!
@@ChefinJapan Thankyou you so much for your kind information if you don't mind can I be your Facebook friend
@@bsfilms2525 I don't really use Facebook, but feel free to add me on Instagram! @AmberRose_O ^^
このビデオをありがとう！
...私が尋ねることができれば。シェアハウスの探し方を教えてください。おすすめのサイトはありますか？
もうすぐアパートのビデオをポストをします!
とりあえずSumoというサイトをおすすめです。
Thank you so much for this video; it was very informative.
I'm planning to go to Kyoto, what school are you studying at?
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I don't like to say which school I'm at on the interwebs since I'm still studying there, but I'm happy to hear you're coming to Kyoto~
Let me know if you have any questions about it! ^^
Many doctors have told me many things and that many other thing were impossible. They were all proven ignorant. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do. No one knows you better than yourself and i know that changing my diet to an organic plant based one was a great step in the direction of the being i prefer to be.
Thank you for sharing. Have fun.
