Will I save money living in Tokyo?
We asked expats if they save money living in Tokyo. They said...
"Living in Tokyo may offer cost savings on certain items such as transportation and food due to economies of scale. However, living in Tokyo will also likely cost more in other areas such as rent and some consumer goods. Additionally, various taxes are typically higher in Japan than in other countries. Ultimately, whether living in Tokyo will save you money or not will depend on the lifestyle you lead and how it compares to the cost of living in the city," wrote a member who made the move to Tokyo, Japan.
