Will I save money living in Atami?

Answer this Question

We asked expats if they save money living in Atami. They said...

"The cost of living in Atami can be lower than in many cities in the United States, especially when compared to major metropolitan areas like New York City or San Francisco. Housing and rent prices in Atami are generally more affordable than in many U.S. cities. However, it's important to note that other costs such as food, transportation, and healthcare can be higher in Japan. For example, eating out at restaurants or buying groceries can be more expensive in Atami than in the U.S. Public transportation is widely used in Japan and is very efficient, but it can also be more costly than in the U.S. Healthcare in Japan is of high quality, but it can be more expensive than in the U.S., even with Japan's national health insurance. In terms of utilities and internet, the costs are comparable to those in the U.S., but this can vary depending on usage and specific service providers. Overall, whether or not you save money living in Atami, Japan compared to the United States will depend on your lifestyle, spending habits, and the specific U.S. city you're comparing it to. It's also important to consider factors like salary and job opportunities, as these can significantly impact your cost of living," wrote a member who made the move to Atami, Japan.
