Everyday Costs in in Japan

How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.

Currency Guide for Japan (JPY)

For a traveler planning a mid-range stay in Japan for one week, it's wise to budget approximately ¥100,000 to ¥150,000 (around $680 to $1,020 USD) for a comfortable experience. This amount can cover a range of activities, from enjoyable dining to sightseeing and accommodation. Typical daily expenses that travelers can expect include a meal at a local restaurant for about ¥1,200-¥2,500 (🍱), a cup of coffee for around ¥400 (☕), public transport fares averaging ¥200 (🚄), a prepaid SIM card for ¥3,000-¥5,000 (📱), and budget hotel or Airbnb stays costing ¥7,000-¥15,000 per night (🏨). Overall, Japan is considered to be on the expensive side, particularly when compared to the United States, where daily costs can be a bit lower for food and accommodation. In comparison to the UK, Japan can feel relatively similar, given that both countries tend to have a high cost of living, especially in their respective major cities.

Expat Living in Japan

For expatriates settling in Japan, typical monthly living costs can range from ¥250,000 to ¥400,000, depending on lifestyle and location. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in a city center averages around ¥150,000, while groceries, utilities, and transportation can contribute significantly to overall expenses. When it comes to banking, Japan is heavily reliant on cash, and while credit cards are accepted in many places, some shops may only take cash. Therefore, it’s recommended to maintain a healthy balance of cash and a card. Online transfer services like Wise or OFX can be beneficial for managing international money transfers and are often better than local exchange rates. However, for day-to-day spending, using an ATM might provide more convenience. It's essential to check with your bank regarding international withdrawal fees and limits to ensure smooth financial operations in your new home.
