How Much Do You Pay For Rent? TOKYO, JAPAN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Tokyo is famous for their high rent prices, especially in the relatively cheap Japanese housing market. So in this video, I asked people on the streets of Tokyo, “how much do you pay for rent” and saw if we could get an apartment tour!!

Am currently learning Web Development
Leah's Place,especially with the Balcony. Adam's Apt was nice too,but a lil too dark
@@Directgamez28 how much do you reckon your monthly salary will be ?
bro tell me a high paying job....THIS IS MAD
Leah needs to start vlogging. She seems so natural in front of the camera and may have a very interesting life.
Simp
I don't get how she's living like that while making only 84k a year. That's nothing. And she's considered rich?
And of that, 3000 goes into her rent. So only 4k left over? And seems like she spends a lot as well.
Maybe she meant 7000k a week? which would be close to 340k a year which makes more sense but then, why even live in an apartment? Buy a house at that point.
Something here ain't adding up.
@@truestrose234 yeah that seemed odd to me, spending half your salary on rent shouldn't even be possible as most places require 3x
@@truestrose234 maybe her parents are rich …?
Lol I make more than she does and my rents are 160K JPY.
Her house doesn’t look like it has been used which is very weird
I love the view from Leah's apartment. Her place would be my dream apartment. I wish that we could have seen her custom sofa. I like the thought of room service in the building. It would be hard for me to leave. She's living the life. The Pokemon apartment was very nice. I like that they use their love for anime/manga for decorating inspiration. The 400 plants are a lot to care for but it looks wonderful.
Damn, Leah's charisma was off the charts.
The last guy's apartment was hella fire
I pay $4500 for my place in LA. But honestly, I get a lot more square footage. Her place, though, is more modern and new-build.
Leah's apartment would cost over 5K in US big cities. Funny but true, I just finished watching Babylon literally yesterday night.
for first woman to show her apartment, you cant earn 84000$ and pay 3500$ in rent. her tax bracket is 33% on her salary. Something is fishy on her income numbers?
Jesse was on a roll when he went to Leah’s home lol you can tell he really enjoyed going
Leah is living the LIFE! A kickbutt apartment, a killer car, an awesome dog, and and a sweet job. She seems awesome 😎!
She single tho and wastes hella money, I make 3k more than her and I spend way less on housing and items and invest the rest because Im not gonna work forever, Im going to retire early. Shes going to work the rest of her life. And I still got 2 motorcycles a car and 2 houses paid off. Also my 4SLDK 1 stop away from Yokohama Station is only 1100 (160,000) even though I can obviously afford way more but why the eff would i make somone else rich? Im going to reinvest the savings
She makes decent money wastes the rest and she single... RED FLAGSS
she's literally spending half of her income on rent... and then with all of those expensive luxury goods (1.5k for a standing lamp!). I do wonder if she actually has any savings...
@@GameFuMaster good question, from the peoples I met in Tokyo
many career women there seem spend everything on a luxurious lifestyle and are left with nothing much savings wise. It's ok as long as your work is stable and you are young, but it might be risky long term.
@@antoninb.6735 100% risky in the long term. You don't want to be stuck working a job that earns a lot of money but is highly stressful.
Not to mention, that car is probably on credit, so... probably can't risk lower income.
@@GameFuMaster To be clear to readers, I'm not attacking this woman. She seems very nice.
But given the current times, I think it's wiser to save and invest your money in a way to make it work for you and your health, rather than spending everything in exquisite but needlessly expensive stuff.
As you said, her car is probably credit (it seems like a Porsche), as probably much of her furnitures.
From my point of view and experience, a better alternative would be to live as cheap and healthy as possible not too far from your workplace, and put the rest of the money where it can buy you a more peaceful life later.
Because even if the salary is high, the cost of living is too. So you are not buying time for yourself with that lifestyle. And as you age, time and peace are more valuable than expensive stuff imo.
We definitely need a part 2 of this!!!
Yeah I wanna see Terrence’s place
I love Leah’s energy
Leah was super sweet and open about how much everything was, which is refreshing! She is very likeable. Liked her style as well ❤
I want her to step on me, too, bro
Leah isn’t living a 80k a year lifestyle … she deff has a boyfriend or someone helping her
It's amazing how Leah's ok with two strangers coming into her house. You both were very lucky for having this opportunity.
u think they were strangers? they clearly knew eachother... and its a paid advertisement obviously lol
@@joshualee8151 ok
I think her boyfriend was there supervising.
@@joshualee8151 really?
IT more like real state...
Dude seems super chill, you guys should definitely do a follow-up video with him and check his place out!!
im studying Programming right now and after hearing what each person does as their job, im not regretting it.
it'll get saturated soon enough :(
@sxke unsurprisingly 🤧
Same here its saturated but i dont believe that stops anything if you are willing to network and put in the work
@@akikiaovie it's true, but what I meant was that soon enough the pay will go down when programmers can be found easier than finding air... Once the supply of programmers is higher than the demand, many programmers will end up getting paid less unless they can do something special that most other programmers can't do :/ so eventually it will mean that this specific job choice won't guarantee a good pay anymore
and since the kids in our generation are all learning to be programmers and write code and learn programming languages just as commonly as one would learn spanish or some other spoken language in school, i can easily see it becoming saturated to the point where it doesn't pay all that much more than being a translator at base pay, for example if you're not highly sought after then they might be unable to find a reason to hire you for more money when they could hire another worker with the same skill set for cheaper that would accept that pay
Well、money can't buy happiness、but it sure helps you to have a more confortable life! Being honest、I liked Leah's apartment the most、because it's very well designed and the view is just dope! As always、awesome video guys、thanks for the entertainment! Greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷
Whoever says money can't buy happiness doesn't have enough of it.
Money buys security. It's hard to be happy when you don't feel secure. But beyond a certain point security is not enough to ensure happiness.
She sounds like she is alone... for a woman to just be like... yeah guys let's go to my place... it needs to be staged or she is dumb.
Money absolutely can buy happiness, what are you on lol

"Tokyo is expensive to rent"
">$1,000/month"
* New Yorkers have entered the chat *
Dumass, see how different salaries are for average New Yorker and how much is it for average tokyoer
That software engineer's place is dope af! He ballin' in Tokyo
He is indeed.
I used to think rent in Tokyo was insane but it’s actually not that bad compared to NYC. This video is super helpful.
NYC is super insane lol
for nyc high rent you get stanky dirty and dangerous
Japan was crazy in the 1980s/1990s but then the bubble burst. Add to that the weak Yen at the moment.
London is ridiculous
It's interesting comparing Philip (Software Engineer) vs Leah (IT). Both have fantastic homes and good wages. But both are dumping around 50% of their income into rent ($3500-5000 per month), leaving very little in savings. I'm more interested in the lifestyles of the people who were paying less than $1000/month but also working in comparable jobs. Their buying power must be much higher, despite not being as flashy as Philip or Leah.
Nah that Philip guy is getting way more, he said at least 200k$ a year, and this is what happens when you start getting a lot of money per month. It's just lifestyle inflation. In all honesty it's crazy that somehow IT people still get paid this much nowadays. Probably relocation to Japan, remotely working for something in LA, otherwise cannot understand how these money they are getting happen. Definitely unique cases. They are certainly paying ridiculous amount in rent.
Yeah Philip is earning about 16.7k a month and that rent isn't even 1/3 of his salary, which is the sort of like the recommended amount you should come out for rent
I can guarantee you Leah is from a wealthy family who has an inheritance for her so savings don't matter. And her family might even give her a monthly stipend as well - this is pretty common in Asia among wealthy families, the kids are forced to get jobs because the parents don't give them much of an allowance.
I think she actually answered the question relative to how much she makes PER WEEK, not per month, that would be about $364k, which sounds reasonable for the life she seemed to be living. Even if she was talking biweekly pay, that's $168k. Not to mention investments and other things
Yeah right "IT" I guess that's one way to call it. 😅
This is a really cool video. Props to you Jesse and Shota. It makes me happy to see some people can afford to live in roomier places. Maybe I've seen too many "Day in the life" videos of people in Japan, but the tiny apartments they live in and the insanely long hours of work would make me depressed.
Philip & his wife's place is great but Leah's apartment wins.. hands down. Cannot wait for Part II 🙏
nah, phil's apartment is better. It's actually personalized. Leah's house is bland and just filled with luxury goods.
@@GameFuMaster it was mainly the view of shinjuku that made me think her place won
@@GameFuMaster His place looks good, but Like Misaka said, that breathtaking view of the city is just unbeatable. And coupling it with a Danish design was absolutely the right call, imo.
@@GameFuMaster I like Phil’s house better too. It is technically in a better location than Leah’s. Eventhough they didn’t reveal location, i know where it is just by the surroundings and landmark. His house is also very warm and has a homey feel.
I love how fancy everything was in Leah's home, even the motion sensing trash bin that accidently opened at 6:17😂
I noticed that as well 😂
Those aren't that expensive, I have one. I think it cost less than $100. It's just an infrared sensor.
For non-Japanese watching this video - the places they went inside were considered luxury apartments in some of the most expensive neighborhoods in Tokyo, and they used one of the most expensive real estate agents in Tokyo (I see his instagram ads often). If you're coming from a western country, rent prices here are super low. I've never paid more than 1000 USD a month in rent, and I've lived in some fantastic apartments in amazing and popular neighborhoods. Don't let the two foreigners rent prices make you think Tokyo is that expensive. It's not.
What city do you live in. I couldn't get a nice place at that price in Mt city
@@Moi_81 I live in Setagaya, Tokyo. It’s one of the more expensive wards too. You’re living in Tokyo? There’s thousands of nice places for under 1000 USD.
Ok thank you. I thought I was going to have to spend what Leah spends for a nice place. I get a little over $5000 a month from my retirement. Currently in the Philippines but I have been talking with a Japanese woman. That owns a fashion company in Tokyo. She's looking for a husband and i'm looking for a wife.
Leah is gorgeous and super cool and all , but if she's being honest about her salary, then you bet your life she's from a wealthy family or bf(s) are wealthy
OMG PHILLIP PLACE IS EVERY WEEB’S DREAM! I love the squirtle squad mat and Sakura pikachu so cute 😭❤️
brooooooo leah's flat goes crazyyyyyyyy
edit: holy crap philip's also goes hard
This is so interesting! I live in America and after watching this I feel like where I live is expensive. Haha! I pay over $1,500 for rent (which is considered cheap - especially for where I live) for a 768 sq ft apartment and I also am a plant hobbyist like Philip and it really is an expensive hobby here in the US.. 😅
That’s the same feeling I got. Always thought Tokyo was super expensive but it seems more reasonable than where I live lol!
i live in nyc and my rent is $3500 💀
@@justalostcause4425 Yikes! I'm assuming that your space is not very large? NYC rent is ridiculous from what I've heard.
@@abigirlll it's like living in a shoebox. My gf still lives with her parents (we're both 25) but spends most of the time at my place. Sometimes i be feeling claustrophobic
@@justalostcause4425 I can only imagine how tough that can be at times!
seeing you blow up from 10K to 220K is incredible and i think we all should push this video into youtubes algo to give this video the deserved 1.000.000 views
The IT lady has a very exquisite place.
And to think he randomly walked upto her def wasn’t pre-arranged tours like most of those other channels 😉 😉
@@johnthe3rd707 Thats what i noticed too. From the same company too.
As a Minimalist with a black Doberman who used to have a red Doberman named Mango that looks just like hers I vote for her place. ✌🏼
Leah was on her MTV Cribs-vibe. Good video again, Jesse. When are y’all going to post something to the other channel because I been subscribed, but it has been empty for a minute?
IT lady's apartment is everything 😮
3:07 Wow. Leah's place was the best. That looks like Aki's apartment 😂 Great video guys, great work!!
If u saw her from a distance you'd probably think she's a stuck up b but she turned out to be super chill.
Leah’s view is like straight from a 90s anime! It’s sooooo nice
damn porsche chick was so cool
I pay only ¥30,000 and it’s in tokyo. If you pay anymore than ¥50,000 for rent. Your getting ripped off.
Rent in America makes these seem like deals lol
Bro was asking prices of items like he is planning to rob the most expensive item 😂
1:59 That moment you realize this whole channel is just more RUclips b**ls**t (let's pretend it's not scripted or set-up!)
homeboy in the beginning casually paying $8k rent 👀👀
Who/what part? I missed it
He said he makes 8k a month but pays 2k in rent.
2:40 wow.. she pays half of her salary in rent !?! That's crazy... I get paid around 6k USD net here in Korea per month but I only pay around $1000 for my apartment, and I still think that's expensive
Kinda insane tech folk in NYC and SF make 2-3x what Leah makes but their lifestyles can never be as lavish as hers.
If you try to align what she said she earns and how much she spends - it does not add up.
the IT lady’s house is so flamboyant 😮💨
Love Leah's place and vibe! If she made a youtube channel, I would follow
Phillip's home is so wholesome!
I love this video
It’s so cool that Leah allowed you strangers to come into her home and lay on her bed which your outside clothes since Japan citizens are usually reserved and closed off
i looked in the comments but i don't see anyone talking but this leah gives me vibes of escort
she didn't talk in english despite she said she works in IT
japanese aren't that going with the flow and open but escorts are
maybe she is f..king with bosses or a boss at her job
that window between bathroom and bedroom which can be raised and put down only from bedroom,it's so kinky
she accepted so easily 2 dudes in her home as a single woman
i have a strong feeling she does some sex work
Dangerous city or not, showing a YTuber where you live and inviting them into your home is a bit unnatural imo. I wouldn't be surprised if this were staged but either way this was an interesting spin off of Cribs I must say.
Not staged, a lot of Japanese shows and youtubers were doing it even 10-15 years ago. Japan is generally safe and people have good manners for the most part so it's not surprising that they can invite someone they just met on the street.
@@sunshine6352 That doesn't convince me that's it's not staged nor do I believe anywhere can be safe enough to invite strangers into your home. If this weren't staged then I'm sure it actually can be safe.. Until that one time it isn't. I'm not staging any facts here just my opinion, whether people think it's safe to do this or not, I still find it unnatural and unsafe.
@@HeWhoProclaims well whether you believe it or not doesn't really matter. Japan itself is a safe country overall and that speaks for itself. Your opinion is biased but understandable especially with all the negative news and stuffs happening around the world, or if you are from a dangerous country. Japan is different and that's just how they are with their respect culture. I've been living here in Japan for quite some time and I know that this is not scripted, especially based on their conversation you'll just know it if you speak japanese. Also, not all of the people who got interviewed agreed to the guy's request to come at their place. I know it might be weird for some people watching this video but that's just how they are. Watch a lot of Japanese variety shows and you'll see that this thing is pretty normal to them.
@@sunshine6352 I promise kiddo. I don't even pay attention to news and bias thoughts. You're just not experienced enough to realize intelligent criminals exist in safe places. Even if they didn't. It's a fact you've increased your odds of being robbed. It's foolish to believe otherwise. I understand the facts about the area, it's even okay to walk about late at night. This does not mean, it's okay to invite strangers into your house, no matter how privileged or confident you might feel. Look up the hidden statistics of abductions in Japan and maybe you'll stop and think past, "Oh it's a good city so don't worry about it..". There so many things that are amiss in Japan, they cover up their criminal activity statistics to make the people feel safer and happier. Though it might not be as open, criminal activity occurs very much behind the curtains. It's not safe or smart inviting a stranger into your home, anywhere. No matter how gullible you may be to the situation of criminal activity in that area.
@@HeWhoProclaims Hah, caught you now. Didn't even say your opinion is invalid, you're just biased enough to say the video is scripted and that's what we're talking about here. It's amusing that you suddenly started all this crap about inviting someone is not safe. Again, I didn't say your opinion is invalid. It seems to me that you're purposely talking about all this things about not being safe when the topic here is you're biased about saying the video is scripted. Clearly you don't know anything about Japan for you to say this is scripted. Now enjoy using your ad hominem kiddo and do your thing and protect yourself for all you want. Japan doesn't care about your opinion and it's not our fault that your country is so bad that you need to suspect anyone and protect yourself all the time. Have a good day and stay safe hahahaha
If I had that much money Id buy a house,renting is throwin money away !
I just want to say that I'm excited at how far you guys have come seemingly quickly. Keep grinding please!
Tokyo has a very wide range of prices depending on the location and quality/fanciness of the apartment.
On the low end for a single person, finding a ~60 000 yen apartment (1K/1DK, 25m2) of "good enough" quality, nothing fancy, is fairly easy. And I'm talking in the 23 wards. Of course inside the 23 wards, some will be harder than others. Minato-ku for example will be a challenge, while Adachi-ku or Itabashi-ku are stupid easy and filled with cheap apartments. Other cheap wards include Edogawa-ku, Katsushika-ku, Arakawa-ku etc.
For 2 people (2DK), a 100 000 yen/month will serve you OK. Again, nothing fancy.
Now if you go fancy and go for the tower mansions etc. Then that's where it goes up a TON and sky's the limit. The foreign guy is overpaying (in my view). He could halves his rent and have a good place of the same size. It's just that "tower mansion" buildings that new are ridiculously expensive. He probably has US rent prices in mind though.
I agree with everything you said. I live in Tokyo and pay 100,000 yen a month for an 80 square meter 3LDK. It's not close to a trendy station, but only 15 minutes train to Ikebukuro or 25 to Shinjuku, which are both hugely popular areas. I used to live centrally, in a trendy area, and in a new apartment building and paid the same price for a tiny 1K. It all depends on location and the type of building you live in.
In Osaka, my rent was like 500 - 600 USD per month including utilities. Tokyo is too crazy....
Yeah, trying to move to Japan. Not even considering Tokyo due to costs. Even though it is cheaper than where I lived.
I lived in Japan 7 Years "Elvis Entertainer" & Security, loved all the Women & they showed it in Return'
But the Rent O M G ,WAY 2 much ,Like any Far East Country :Especially (I Would know,lived in 7)
Taiwan ,Korea PHEW ,Korea the Stuck up Country Absurd Rent or Mortgage,Probaly the only 2 Decent countries :Thailand or Philippines for Rent or a Home.BUT Quality of Living Sucks.But Japan with
limited WIFI Is Simply Insane ,Small & Older Buildings..Research It don't listen to these Clowns..🕵♂
It’s disingenuous to portray the 2 home visits as chance encounters.
It’s clear by the end of the video that the two residents were introduced to this channel by Housing Agents.
I would feel embarrassed to participate in a facade such as this.
I also feel bad for the unknowing participants that they interviewed on the streets.
don’t creators supposed to tell RUclips their vid are Paid Sponsorship?
yeah, the end kind of.. shows this is not a real video, but a commercial.
Nah, the first girl literally would have no savings with the living style like that...
glad someone else noticed that... i'd probs guess it is all on credit too
Leah’s a high roller
Leah is so amazing to participate in this , she made it special
Noticed a lot of people in IT were making bank. It seems I'm in the wrong country for my profession lmao.
Imma be honest this sounds like a blessing compared to what I be paying in LA
７０００ドルの給料で３５００ドルの家賃って
結構大変だと思うけど、凄い車に乗って１３５０ドルの
靴って事は投資とか頑張ってるのかな？🤔
Man, the life in Japan seems a lil cheaper then in America now 😮 Leah and her apartment is amazing! Her doggy is cute as well ❤
Im shook and making good money😮😲he needs to stay away from other business.
Yep Japan is cheaper for housing than most big cities in America. But I think certain fruits and veggies way cheaper in America.
If you live and earn in yen Japan is not cheap. The average sallary in Tokyo is 300k ¥. And Tokyo has the highest sallaries in Japan.
@@user-lb2lq8ok9q 300k a week or month?
@@johnthe3rd707 per second actually
Why do people who make 200k a year still rent their places smh. Just like buy a smaller house, in tokyo you can find a nice one for like 250k
I prefer the woman's place! It was so nice and clean, spacious, AND THE DOG!
lol im here thinking wow thats cheap... Its just in america, pricing for everything is jacked up to the max lol
I'm renting a house outside of Tokyo in Kumagaya. Its 68000 Yen per month. I have a garden and 2 parking spaces. The house is huge, but a little old. My company pays me around 30000 per month for living expenses, so I'm only paying about 40000 Yen monthly.
Kumagaya is maybe one of the wrost place to live in saitama, behind kurds infested kawaguchi.
Man rent sounds cheap with most the first people you chat with $1000 USD a month is cheap.. $3500 USD the girl showed you through looks great and thats an average apartment price i'd say . Especially if earning foreign money.
I'm from the UK & nowadays it's becoming much more common for people to live with their parents as rent is much higher compared to what it used to be. My brother is 30 & still lives with our parents.
I'd say nothing is wrong with that.
My parent told me if u don't move to another city or wanna move in with ur partner stay at home until u own a house, waste of money to move out in this economy
nothing wrong with that, if he is saving money for the future,working and stuff.
why the fuck would you live your house to pay rent when you can save the money rent and buy a house long term? rich people in first world countries sure are dumb.
In Japan, many people live with their parents. That's actually the norm.
Right.
a lot of stuff about the last person was off
what software engineer makes 200K USD a year ? if he doesn't own hies own company maybe...
looking at hies setup he might be a youtube, and that would make more sense he makes that money
also some of the things he said that was worth 50-80 USD he said.. 400 USD... etc
that apartment should NOT cost 5K USD a month...
plus that PC is NOT a 6K USD PC... it's a 2K pc at most...
i assume even cheaper in japan.
I've been building pc's for a while now and that is not how a 6K pc's look like
a lot of things where off there
I am generally blown away at the prices. I live in Chicago for a two bedroom with in-unit wash and dryer and some bells and whistles is $2,700 USD.
Currently paying $2100 for 700 square feet about 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles. Decent neighborhood in decent complex with decent amenities. Lived in Tokyo about 15 miles from the downtown area. $600 for 600 square foot duplex. Admittedly an older house, but the savings was worth it.
omg i get same salary like her but i live in rundown house. I drive 10 years honda civic hatchback. I dont know how she can afford all of that with that salary.
Leah for the win! Space, setup, balcony, and decor. Room service in the building. Fancy! - That computer setup at other spot is sweet!!!!
It’s got to be staged. Too clean and well maintained. Unless she has professional house keeping.
I love how foreigners are fluently answering questions 👍
Note Bene. This video is ad sponso. The girl was a koreadn girl actually, and he didnt met her by luck in street. She are ad relative of the sponsor company. All of that sounds fake but its your fault boys its what you like to watch.
A moment of silence for those who thought “a million a month” was in USD, not JPY
Most of the ordinary Japanese can't afford rents as high as 470000, not even quarter of it. Foreigners paying over 150000 live in a luxurious apartment but they don't realize it since they are used to higher prices, I guess. It's like paying 100 bucks for a meal in India. People should do some research.
Also it's ridiculous some people get paid 1 million for doing not that much, it just makes most of the people get angry. How about interviewing some regular families here not a dream like cases.
love how it turned into a house tour, surprised they just let random people they met in their houses
gotta admit the girl's place felt a lot nicer but dang is everything in there expensive, but dang do i want to set up a place like the guys, minus the 400 plants cuz they would all die under my watch
Haha I own a shitton of plants.
Ok so the software engineer guy was dying to have someone check his pad out 😂. Which was super nice. I like his anime collection.
She makes far more than $80K a year.
Why are those prices sound really cheap? 😂 i pay 1k usd for my house and its 40mins away from melbourne city in aus
In Sweden the rent for a 2 room apartment is around 10 000 Swedish kronor (1000 USD) per month, and the average salary per month after taxes for most people is around 20 000 kr (2000 USD).
How to survive there
Same in Denmark…
In Poland at the moment you will pay PLN 3000 for 2 rooms and the average salary is about PLN 5000 it's funny that you can find an old apartment but it is from idk 1960 and it actually looks like time has stopped
Watching this from San Jose, CA.. my rent is 3700.. I use to live in Okinawa, rent was so fucking cheap!!
Jesse! I'm counting on you to make this content for part 2 for Terrence! I love this!
Damn, lady making USD7k only and living this life? I should move to Japan and rent a mansion!
NYC rent makes Tokyo rent look like a non-profit organization.
Fr.
ask the rent from barcelona, u would be disgusted by the prices.
So many tech workers. I would love a video about the process of becoming a software engineer in Japan.
TLDR, try to work for a foreign company, whilst still living in Japan.
If you work for a Japanese company be prepared to make roughly 30-50% less than the same job in the U.S. for example.
I'm a systems engineer (IaaS) who spent years looking for the right opportunity to do just that.
I got a job working for a U.S. company that pays in USD at a U.S. rate.
The difference? I make ~135k/yr instead of ~70k/yr that a Japanese company pays for the same job >_>
Nobody should be paying 5k USD for a month, Jesus Christ
Ohh I really liked both apartments in this tour. It must be nice to make great money in Tokyo.
If her after-tax income is 7k usd, it is a really good job, and she gets better apartment than anyone living in Melbourne with that money.
Tokyo is not the most expensive. Try Melbourne and Sydney
It ain’t, but COL is relative. People in Japan have more purchasing power because of a balanced COL
In India we live at parents home until we die😂
Rent is so cheap in tokyo compared to Toronto. Its like 25% of what rent is here.
And i used to live in tokyo and appreciate so much the cheap rent and high salaries. Japan is CHEAP!!!
In europe or north America, Japan is cheap.

Covertible lady is terrible with her money 😂 paying 50% of your income on rent, living that large? She’s got to have significant credit card debt.
Tokyo is not expensive compared to other major international cities. You can find a small studio for 500 USD or pay 5000 USD and live in an upscale area. Depends on your needs. I've paid around 750 USD for a 1 bedroom apartment in Shinjuku. Now I pay the same amount in Mexico City ! And that is considered low here in the middle class neighborhoods. Many people 1000 and up here. I would say as someone having lived in major cities including Tokyo and Mexico City that the cost of living is similar to certain extend. In Japan my groceries were a lot cheaper than here in Mexico. I probably ate less in Japan and more healthier. But the supermarkets are great in Japan because they offer discount after 7 pm, as well as the convenience stores.
Currently living in Colombia for one year. I believe this in general is true: If you want to live like a European/US-cit in Latin America you end up paying more than in your own country.
So this was basically a promo commercial for ehousing.. pfft...

Wouldn’t it be better to spend less money so you can save money to buy a property. 🤷♂️
IN Canada Vancouver, basement suite 1 bedroom is around 1600 CAD and can go to 2200 for 2 bedroom. Nothing included
