I want to learn Japanese, can you teach me and other people from making videos.
Greetings, bro I have to say that your English has improved a lot keep going 💪🙌
500 dollars for a one bedroom or a studio?
Good video with good diverse viewpoints and answers on the information about their personal cost of living.👍💯
Maybe you already showed inside your living space before. If so can you share the RUclips video link?
I (and maybe other subscribers) would like to see what size space you have and maybe can expect for approximately USD500 per month.
I know there are many possible variables of the location and the size, as it is everywhere, but maybe you can show examples from your interviewees or your friends inside a few USD500 to USD1000 per month. Places in or around Tokyo and/or places around other large cities in Japan.
TY Takashii🇯🇵❤🇺🇸❤✝🕊❤
Muslims are murderer, They torture other religions in Muslim majority country. Since 2014 in Bangladesh Muslims peoples were burnt many Buddhist temples..Don't help any Muslim
I love the Muslim experience representation in your videos. You never actually see that on any channel, Japanese or not. I’ll subscribe as a thank you for your effort
me 2
thanks you for representing ❤️❤️
Why are westerners so obsessed with identity?
from ur profile pic i assume u watch anime. and a lot of anime have fan service like Darling in the Franxx. which is HARAM in ur religion, im mean even a girl can't show hair like wtf. so do u think that ur allah is ok with that or what
@@heathenspider whatever allah is okay with, is up to allah. That’s the society we live unfortunately and no matter what I do unless I live on a mountain eating potatoes, then these would be unavoidable, but I hope allah forgives me for my misgivings and rewards me for my good deeds. Thanks.
Thank you Takashi for asking a muslim interviewee aswell, as a Muslim myself i was wondering how much it would cost especially if you have to focus on halal food/item way of life. Perhaps could you make a seperate video focussed on this topic aswell? And how their experience is living in japan as a muslim? keep up the good work!
Pathetic can't. Even intergrate
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Oh I forgot, you can`t relate to that old saying.
@@spartanwarrior1 You guessed that right, we aint Romans. Muslims have their own ruling and way of life.
@@Nilvolentibusje like killing those who change their religion
@@Nilvolentibusje good luck with 72 virgins..but what are u gonna do with them while ur whole body rots in Earth??
The British female was acting like she only knew a little Japanese, then she killed it with fluent Japanese
Yeah one of the few that actually could hold a conversation, was pretty impressed but you could tell that she actually talks on regular basis with Japanese only speaker.
yeah that was impressive!
that's what a "little" Japanese looks like though; what you're seeing is the "fluency illusion." Because you're not fluent in Japanese, you _really_ don't know what good Japanese sounds like.
To be real critical:
1. her accent wasn't bad but it wasn't _good_, but better than a lot of learners
2. 自分を教えます is just flat out unnatural. 独学で勉強しています is a better way to express "I'm teaching myself/ I'm learning on my own."
3. そうのぉ、東京の友達は、英語が喋れる・あの上手英語です。で～もぉ、オサカァーに・・・あの彼らは、あの英語がちょっと弱いです。普通、日本語を・・その一緒にハナする
^ this is what broken Japanese looks like.
With a little bit of studying and more practice she can turn her broken Japanese into something great, but that takes a lot of effort and time to get to that level.
@@user-dh3fd8iq6m Sure glad nameless is here to point out all the Japanese flaws on RUclips. Without you we would be living in blissful ignorance.
Lol she is dressed as a whore!!
Its interesting to see people talking about costs in japan recently because of the recent inflation elsewhere. In particular how cheap the JPY is compared to USD at the moment. For example JYP was roughly 75-80 to 1 USD the first time I visited in 2010 - 2011. Now it's almost double that at 138 JPY to 1 USD.
My rent in NYC today is $2,200 USD for a 2 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. Hearing $500/month rent in Tokyo had my jaw hit the floor...
You need to count in size and placement. If you want same size apartment as in Brooklyn or Queens (including same sound insulation) and same distance from center you are looking around 2 - 3k a month as well ... Takashii correct me if im wrong.
Japan is dealing with inflation too.
$2,200 for 2 bedroom In Brooklyn isn’t that bad, (depending where in Brooklyn of course). I pay $2,400 for 2 Bedroom in Seattle.
It's actually pretty good comparatively at the moment. Rents are starting to fall in my area again, though not anywhere near as fast as they shot up compared to the last few years.
@@ChrisDaMaddog that’s good that the rent starting to go down there. I used to live in Bedstuy back in the late 90s to 02.
I mean here in the suburbs of Saint Louis, MO you could probably get a 2 bedroom aparuto for probably half that cost of NYC.
Glad that there is someone like you who makes these kind of videos
As someone who’s working on a CIEE study abroad application for the summer this video is super helpful!
Love how you ask these important questions and also get meaningful answers! Keep the videos going!
This video was very helpful in giving me an idea of how much money it would take to live in Tokyo.
The topics you cover are always interesting and your way of asking questions to people is always very polite and kind. An affectionate greeting and to the next video! 🤗
Takashi-San I think if you do a follow up you should ask the lovely people you interview how big their apartments are. A lot of those interviewed are in dorms or subsidized housing. Many people might not know how small Japanese apartments can be. Love the channel!
Always fun watching your videos Takashi ! You are a great ambassador for Japan i know some day i will visit , thanks to your inspiration..
i really enjoy these interviews, thank you for the video!
When I visited Tokyo 4 years ago I found eating out was really inexpensive. Food in general such as bentos and snacks from the grocery store or convenience store was reasonable and good quality. Transportation I thought was expensive but worth it because the trains are clean and always on time. Thanks for sharing. It's always nice to hear other peoples thoughts.
Can u share some info about halal food pls???
We appreciate your consistency. May God bless you in everything that you do.
Takashi I'm so happy to see you covering this big issue, rents here in Lisbon, Portugal are skyrocketing a 2 bedroom apartment costs 12 to 1500€, eating out is about 14-20€ per person and groceries is about 20€ for 1 meal, it's mad and I'm shocked to see that Tokyo is so cheap compared to Lisbon. I really want to come to Japan and experience it myself
That`s insane! 1400 is what a 2 bed flat costs in East London and that is still on the cheap side. I am shocked that Lisbon would almost be just as expensive.
And the average salary is peanuts in Lisbon.
Seems like Lisbon is getting a taste of freedom. On behalf of Americans, my condolences.
Takashii I really appreciate you doing this, I have plans to move to Japan and videos have mostly all the information I was looking for.. Thank you
Stay away don't come here.
Thank you so much Takashi for your videos. It really inspired me to listen people fluent at least in two languages!
Really love the concepts of your videos, quite helpful.
Love your vids Takashi, so educational and inspiring at the same time!
U seem so genuine man I wish u the best in life.
I love watching your videos, I find this type of interview pretty interesting and stimulating. Well done!
Long-term foreign resident in rural Japan here. I was interested to watch this video to see how prices in Tokyo compare with where I live in Mie prefecture. Interestingly, restaurant prices don’t sound much different than where I live. Rent is a little cheaper here…but not by much, at least if you live in an apartment. On the other hand, you don’t mind living in an old house that’s far away from a train station, you can get a decent sized place for 200$ (US) or less per month. As for locally grown vegetables or (sometimes) fruit, it’s super cheap here. The last point is about clothes. One interviewee mentioned a lack of ‘fast fashion’ here…which is funny to me because everyone I know here buys most of their clothes at Uniqlo and GU (cheap and cheaper)… department stores aren’t really a thing anymore! Maybe Mie people are just cheap..? 😆
Sounds like where I’d want to go ❤.
UK more fashionable was a laugh imo.
Uniqlo and GU are stores to get dressed. But definitely you are not going to look stylish!! It is for peasant!!!
Uniqlo is Armani for european fast fashion.
It is most beneficial to work in the US, retire, save, and live in Japan where it is cheaper.
Perfect interview..I was looking forward to it
Great job...I appreciate your efforts and work.
Bro I wish I could've met you on my recent trip to Tokyo! Keep doing what you're doing your interviews are amazing!
Is it cool there? Would you recommend it?
Hey Takashii! I love your content, I am preparing for a year in Japan in the future, can you do a video on how to learn Japanese the easiest way?
Great video, thank you 😎
Very interesting. Amazing to think that Tokyo is the most expensive city too. Over here in Miami Florida the rent is pretty much a guaranteed $1800/month, and eating out you would definitely be spending more than $7-$10 quite often, so I guess that's kind of similar. I would be interested in seeing how jobs pay in Japan too, since maybe the cost of living is low to match the pay.
Thank you Takashii as always I love the content 🦋💜.
Love these videos, my dream is to study abroad in Japan somewhere.
No don't come. Stay away
Would be interesting if you interview Asians/Japanese who grew up in West and moved to Japan. Grew up my in West/UK and getting tired of living in EU and would like to live in SE Asia (I could potentially relocate to Tokyo for work)
The social intracacies as Westerners can be very direct (lived in Amsterdam for nearly a decade so can be very Dutch). Also with the Yen dropping, how it effected their life.
Thanks for your interesting videos, Takashii! I would enjoy the more if they were not in mirror image mode. I like to be able to read the shop signs and such things.
just found your channel and enjoy the content. I'm looking forward to visiting Japan end of this year
This is good information right here. Cause I'm gonna live in Japan in the future.
Thanks for this Takashi san! Hopefully after I graduate and pass the accountancy licensure exam in my country, I would like to take my Master's Degree in Tokyo. 素晴らしい!
Kanji is most difficult to understand but it's also the most effective in summarising a lot of meaning in few or one character(s).
Great missed u always looking forward to your videos. 👍👋
Amazing content! :) keep up the good work
tHANKS MAN. AMAZING EPISODE
thank you for videos I learned a lot from them.. I start learning Japanese. when everything is well in my life, I'll come to Japan, hopefully. arigato
Man, I miss Japan so much the place is fantastic. I was there two weeks ago but feels like it's been a year. Definitely returning next year, maybe this time to Osaka instead of Tokyo.
How long did u stay? And How much did u prepare for that stay in total
@@hishamabdinur9111 Everything for about a week of stay cost me about $1800 USD including the flight, hotel, food, gifts, transit, cell service and some shopping. Granted, I got a really good deal on the flight and the hotel.
@@extremelucky1 thank you
@@hishamabdinur9111 not worries, good luck
Awesome guy always a good conversation
Takashi I 💕 this video the first lady speakes Japanese fairly good 👍 I think that kanji is important to learn I just started learning to write kanji not easy but I keep at is the other to people that u interviewed are also right Japan must be expensive one day when I ever go I will find out how expensive it is and ur English is very 👍 thank you
Wow, always enjoy your content.
Japan is affordable to live in, especially if you live in the suburbs your money can go even further. It is also very convenience, I don't even take a bath at home (just go to the onsen every day), don't eat at home much, just eat at family restaurants super cheap and relaxing. I estimate I spend each day (onsen, restaurants, twice each day) around $45. As for rent, I have no rent, I have my own house.
Can a foreigner own a house in Japan?
Keep up the good work bro 👍🏾
Fruit is shockingly expensive. A small pack of green grapes at Kombini costs about 400 Yen ($3.40 or so) and you are getting a small handful, like literally 15 grapes. Meanwhile a 2lb bag of grapes in USA is $5 that lasts a week or more. But overall eating in Tokyo feels so much cheaper, no tipping, base price is lower etc. and imo quality of the food is much better than USA, at a lower price
to be fair kombini's are expensive to begin with
@@GizmoSheep it’s the city (Tokyo). Going out to, say, Kawagoe and fruit was ridiculously cheap in comparison to city fruit.
And here is a female Japanese office worker (me) who haven’t bought any fruit for a month. I rarely go to the fruit section of a supermarket (It’s kind of torture for me. )
I’ve been to UK, by the way, when I was a college student and I used to buy a bag of apricots for lunch to save money there. You can’t do that here in Tokyo. It would be suicidal !
@@rukathehamsteratwork8896 Being italian, prices in general are comparable, for most things. But eating out is slightly cheaper in Japan as it seems to me. BUT. Cooking at home is much more affordable here. Fruit and vegetables are inexpensive and produced locally, or imported from neighbouring countries. I eat fruit and vegetables every day, with extreme variety, even in winter. Yeah, this part i definitely do not envy the japanese for..
@@DerpEye
I know that you Italians eat lots of tomatoes every day (I envy you! Tomatoes are quite expensive here).
I rarely buy fruit but I buy some vegetables and cook with them every day. I make my lunch (bento) every weekday to save money. (Actually I’m eating obento right now at the cafeteria. It’s lunchtime here in Tokyo now.)🙂
I love ur channel so much, i wish i can visit Japan one day, thats always my dream
Takashi's English is getting better every video!
Thank you man, I ove your Video. It motivates me to visite Japan one day. I am originally from Afghanistan and I live in Germany, I hope that my Life gives me a chance to fullfill my dream and visit your country. You are such a lovely and kind person. Love you bro.
A studio apartment where I live is about $1,600. Upgrade to a 1BR apartment, and you are looking at about $2,200.
A cheeseburger is between $18-$22. Fruits and vegetables are plentiful and not very expensive. I can get a pound of organic strawberries for $4 or a whole bag of organic apples for $5 or $6. You can actually get a lot of fruits and vegetables for free because so many people have gardens and have extra to share.
I like what you do. This is a great channel
I feel like Kanji is so important because you decide to learn a language and that's what comes with it. It's a whole culture you're committing to, it's best to not skip anything
lots of love takashii san
Will be in tokyo for a week starting this Saturday, wish me luck!
I'm no expert but for Canada I feel in Jspan the housing is cheaper but I see transportation is more expensive over there. The food its the opposite Japan from Canada, it is cheaper to eat at home than outside. Interesting video thanks.
Coming from Atlanta these prices are AMAZING!! Most of the student apartments here are $1100+ USD monthly
I didn't know that food is expensive in Japan ,thanks for sharing.
The hijabs girl is so cute and has a very kind aura thank you for the representation!
Omg living expenses sound so affordable that makes me want to live in Japan more I am so surprised
Hello Takashi
My name is Ethan . I am Mongolian but i live in Miami I am chef who has been in the hospitality industry about decade
My dream is go to Japan to live and work as chef learn more Japanese culinar skills
It would be great if you interviewed foreign chefs cost living expenses
I know
Just to rent a small cheap oldfashioned flat in Dublin in Ireland is 1200 -1500 USD. Not mentioning that some areas are not safe after 11PM, like District 1. Food expensive and communal charges expensive, especially during winter when rainy and very windy. So the modern organised, safe Japan is cheaper to live.
I live in Orlando, FL in the US and my rent alone is $2200 a month - and that's not the most expensive rent! I would like to move to a better neighborhood in Orlando, but I would have to scale down from a 2 bedroom apartment to a 1 bedroom so that I could try to pay less than $2500 a month. Tokyo is cheap compared to the US. But it sounds like food (at least fruit and vegetables) costs less in the US. And living in Florida you basically have to have a car, so there's the monthly car payment, the cost of gas and insurance, and maintenance costs. It is not cheap to live in the US at all.
@@al1999 And now they are making Almaty expensive😪
It's too damn expensive, and Orlando it's not even comparable to a city like Tokyo, almost in every aspect Tokyo is more developed, only fruits are more expensive in Tokyo, but eating out and transportation I think is reasonable for the quality, also wages are decent, overall I think living in Tokyo is really worth it.
I am also in Orlando! Agreed that unfortunately this city is simply getting more expensive each year. Traffic is getting worse, as well as crime. Inflation obviously hit food and gas big time. Pretty crazy to see how housing isn't getting easier. And this is Orlando! A mid-sized city.
As a female Japanese office worker who lives in Tokyo, I’m shocked to hear that ! You got to earn at least $4000 per month, just to make a living, is that what you say? You will be surprised if you know my salary…
@@rukathehamsteratwork8896 What's a normal salary in Japan?
Judging by the prices here, Tokyo is much cheaper the L.A. where I live ! Wow, I am glad to see the people interviewed who are speaking Japanese or learning. I feel anybody that lives in another country should learn the language. Thank You.
Tokyo is cheaper than almost any other Capital/big city of most of the developed countries...
By watching your videos I can pretend like I’m living there! Hope to visit one day.
I appreciate your effort bro❤❤❤
Especially when you mention and talk about Muslims, its nice❤
Good luck with 72 virgins 🤣🤣
Really great. Tokyo is super population dense. About 13% of Japan’s population lives there.
After a couple semesters of Japanese and visiting Japan I've come to the conclusion that learning as many kanji as possible is important for living in Japan. There is a lot of English on signs in Tokyo, but in rural Hokkaido not nearly as much, and kanji is an integral part of the written language. There is a lot you cannot read if you don't understand the kanji.
I used to live in a 1LDK, brand new, within 20 minutes of Shinjuku Station for about 110,000 yen, which I always thought was a great deal.
I now live in Kanagawa and rent is cheaper, but not much.
So inclusive 🎉
That is cheap for me 👀puts into perspective the cost of living in Switzerland. I actually want to move to Japan eventually so this is good to know.
Perth Australia for comparison - Here rent would set you back around $2000 AUD p/m and that's for something bang average. $3000 for a proper home with above average finishes/location. KFC/Maccas large meal $13. Kebab $14. Pizza $22. Average restaurant dining $30-50 per person. Most expensive things here are services such as hiring a plumber/electrician/chiropractor etc average cost is $150-200+ per hour.
Is it possible to make a video about how foreigners can work as doctors or specialists physicians in Japan? There are not too much information on the internet ! If so most of us will love it!
You are great!!
Your video is really nice
300-500$ rent is really good wen you compare to the other big cities across the world where rent is upwards of 1500$
It’s great interview.
Another interesting video! The prices of rent and eating out seem so much cheaper than in the US which really surprised me. Your entire cost of living that you mentioned at the end is less than my rent 😩
Also, just to let you know, the dollar sign comes before the number in English. So for example, 10 dollars would be $10!
The prices for rent and eating out in US are among the highest in developed countries. To tell the truth, among the countries i visited, US is the one where i had the least amount of quality/quantity for the money spent.
@@DerpEye I'd believe it. It's been getting worse and worse
It sounds relatively expensive to live in Tokyo.
To listen to the people who had learnt to speak some Japanese or even fluently or even conversation level was very inspiring and I enjoyed listening to them speaking in Japanese in a lot. Thank you for the inspiration!
If it sounds expensive I wonder where you live? Japans Costs are waaaay lower than where I live. Even our fruit is more expensive than what they mentioned. You can buy 1 small avocado for almost 2 euros
I've been following japanese prices since 15+years, and it's always been relatively cheaper than most western countries. Apart from absurd vegetables/fruit prices, everything else is pretty cheap, especially accomodation, eating out. Pubblic transport is also cheap, considering the quality you get. For example, in US on average the cost of living is outrageously high, and the life quality is incredibly low compared to Japan. I would say the expenses in Japan are somewhat similar to my home country, which is Italy.
Nah I find it extremely cheap, $300 cant even get you a room here. Its insanely cheap compared to living in the US.
i spend $1500 for a studio apartment in not even an nice area in san diego, Its way cheaper in Japan and its a pain to get around without a car
Relative to where?
Living in Tokyo is fine, but it is important to know about and prepare for the risk of future earthquakes that are expected to occur directly under the Tokyo metropolitan area.
That rent is so cheap! Wow I pay around $1650 with bills and rent. I do live in a high end studio but even my price is is considered on the low end currently in the US
I spend more than Takashi on just rent here in NJ. I don't live close to NYC and my town doesn't have a direct line to NYC either. My rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1750. It seems like going out to eat is way cheaper there too. A meal for two at a decent restaurant is easily $60+. How is the cost of living so low in Tokyo? I can't imagine how cheap it must be in more rural areas.
Great to video🥰🥰
Im learning from buusu app and i need to say it-splendid way. Used to play with dualingo, omg i get sick of this, buuso(or how it spell) is totally amazing
You're learning better from it than duolingo? Is it free
I’m surprised. I thought Tokyo would be a lot more expensive. Compared to other big cities I’ve been to like New York or Paris, Tokyo seems a lot less expensive.
I live in Vancouver, Canada and it is so expensive here, only the rent is $CAD 1900 for 2 bedrooms apartment 🥹 Moving to Tokyo could be a good idea. I am visiting Japan next fall, I can't wait!
Thanks!
Amazingly well structured video
Japan is a dream place to work in my career (physiotherapist)
Also, how do you have such glowing clear skin?!
Did you make it there bro:)
U need treatment brother u still preach child molesters as prophets 😶..
my brother lives in Fukuyama Japan a city in the Hiroshima prefecture and he pays about $500 US equivalent in yen per month for his apartment which has two rooms and probably bigger that any apartment in Tokyo for that price. I stayed at his apartment during a trip in 2018. The apartment would go for $1500 per month or more easy here in our home state of Hawaii. Average rent in Hawaii is $2000 per month. Eating out in Hawaii will generally cost more than Japan when going to cheaper options.
Food in Japan is cheap or very expensive depending where or what you eat. When my brother and I ate good sushi it can easily be $30 to $40 bucks per person. The best sushi can be hundred dollars per person. We also ate $5 dollar Beef Bowls which are so good. Note my USD estimates of the yen I spent was based of prices before pandemic and fall of Japanese yen value vs US dollar.
Love you videos ❤️👍
One more thing the first lady said that she can see mont Fuji she is lucky to have a nice view
it's very cute how he says channel 😊
Could you go to Disneyland Tokyo. It looks amazing and I want to visit.
I live in northeast PA. And the rent for an apartment is $750-$1300 alone. In big cities you can spend up to $4000 a month. (NY city etc.) That will include water lol then you have to pay gas, electric, garbage stickers(or special garbage bags), car note, insurance, gas for vehicle, inspection yearly, cellphone, internet/cable, and then food. It seems way cheaper to live in japan than the U.S. wow 😮
Could you interview Japanese/foreigner in Japan in terms or food and lifestyle or just life in general 🙏🏽 😊
In Japan, we have a culture of bringing foods as the gift, and even if you don't buy expensive fruits, snacks, meat or fish for yourself, you probably customary buy that expensive gift foods, and give to your friends, relatives, other family members, colleagues at your workplaces or clients. This custom makes gift foods pretty much expensive, which have very good apperances to apeal your precious persons.
So interesting to hear the beautiful Muslim lady’s input on her experience in Japan! I’m travelling there for a month in May and was a little stressed about finding halal food, but it’s great to hear there are options 😊
Great video!
I stayed in Tokyo from 12-21Nov. I found it extremely cheap (food, transportation), but the clothes & other stuff are expensive. From US.
Yeah.. well-chosen thumbnail, man!
looool
One day I'll come to Japan, I love the people.
It's cheaper in Tokyo than in San Jose, California. Average rent 1 bed room is $2500. 2 bed room more than $3000. A bow of Ramen cost $16-$20.
