Every time I see people online saying how cheap rent is in Tokyo compared to other countries, it’s also often overlooked how low the salaries are compared to other countries.

I live in Tokyo near the skytree. I have an extra room I don’t even need and my total monthly expenses are less than this while support two. People just enjoy wasting money. That’s even with weekly Kareoke and dinner night.

Kind of click bait I guess. There are way cheaper 1DK apartments. If you earn the minimum salary you don’t go for both a newly built and convenient apartment. You compromise.

There are plenty of cheaper apartments in Tokyo, even for my family of 3, direct line to my work. Rent and utilities together under 100,000 for a 2k or 2ldk. People are wasting money to live in the fancier areas, which makes me laugh since people visit friends‘ homes way less in this culture so there’s no reason for it.

You can get a suitable rental property for a lot less than 160,000 yen

I feel like real estate prices are getting a little out of control.
437 million for an apartment in Umeda Osaka that is a 9 year old 91m 2LDK. I also saw a 580 million newly built 110m 1LDK. Absolutely insane numbers.
In London you can get an entire upscale house in a good neighborhood for that, and London is pretty infamous for that. I feel like if you have 437/580 million you won’t be spending it to live on in Osaka.
