What is the average cost of housing in Kyoto?

"The average cost of housing in Kyoto can vary greatly depending on the location and size of the property. For a one-bedroom apartment in the city center, the monthly rent is typically around 80,000 to 100,000 Japanese yen. If you're looking outside of the city center, the rent for a similar apartment can drop to approximately 50,000 to 70,000 yen per month. For larger apartments or houses suitable for families, the rental cost can range from 150,000 to 200,000 yen per month. If you're looking to buy property, the average price per square meter in the city center is around 500,000 to 700,000 yen, while outside the city center it can be around 300,000 to 500,000 yen. However, these prices can fluctuate based on market conditions and other factors," remarked another expat who made the move to Kyoto, Japan.
