Is Living in Japan Expensive?
That question can only be answer depending on where you live. If I was
asked that question, I would tell them, yes, Japan is quite expensive
to live in. Coming from the USA, the prices here are very high. I do
believe after awhile of adjusting to a place, I may just adopt to the
prices and I would think nothing of it. It is all part of living and
it is what it is. I hope.
I’ll let you be the judge. Here are some products I’ve taken at a
supermarket. It is fairly easy to convert yen to US dollars. Since the
exchange rate fluctuates from day to day, I will teach you how to get
an average price. Read the total yen price and drop two digitals to
get the US price. So, $1 is equivalent to 100yen. 1,000yen is about
$10. 4,500yen is about $45. 10,000yen is about $100. Easy right?
